Surgeon : Scalpel :: ?
Surgeon : Scalpel :: ?
- Musician : Instrument
- Carpenter : Cabinet
- Sculptor : Chisel
- Baker : Oven
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Sculptor : Chisel
A scalpel is the sharp hand tool a surgeon cuts with, and a chisel is the sharp hand tool a sculptor cuts with. An instrument is a whole class of objects rather than a specific cutting tool, an oven is equipment rather than a hand tool, and a cabinet is what a carpenter makes, not what he works with.
