MAN : HUMANITY
MAN : HUMANITY
- Drop : Ocean
- Flower : Fragrance
- Frame : Picture
- Scholar : Books
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Drop : Ocean
A man is a single unit of humanity, just as a drop is a unit of the ocean (part to whole). Fragrance is a quality of a flower, a frame surrounds a picture and a scholar reads books, so none of these is a unit-to-whole pair.
