Which of the following BEST completes the analogy?

Question

Car is to Mechanic as Body is to?

A. Patient.

B. Hospital.

C. Doctor.

D. Torso.

Answer 1

Car is to mechanic as body is to: C) Doctor. The reason here being: if mechanics are those who fix cars, then we need to choose an answer that represents those who "fix bodies"-- so to speak. We can eliminate hospital and torso first, since a hospital is a place and a torso is a part of the body. It's a bit trickier to recognize the need to eliminate patient, but the patient does not "fix bodies;" a patient possesses the body that needs fixing. Hence, Doctor is the only sound answer!

Answer 2

Doctor. A mechanic fixes a car like a doctor fixes the body.
