Question

Choose the correct alternative

Car : Garage :: Aeroplane : ?

1. A. Port
2. B. Depot
3. C. Hangar (Correct answer)
4. D. Harbour

Correct Answer

Option C — Hangar

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Hangar.

Key Points

• The relationship is object : the structure in which it is housed. A car is kept in a garage; an aeroplane is kept in a hangar.
• Port and harbour house ships, and a depot houses buses or stores goods — each is a shelter, but not for aircraft.

Additional Information

• Similar housing analogies worth revising: horse : stable, bird : nest/aviary, bee : hive, monk : monastery, soldier : barracks, train : shed, wine : cellar.
• Method: state the relationship as a short sentence before reading the options — "a car is stored in a garage" — then test each option in that sentence.
• Beware distractors linked to the stem by topic rather than by the relationship; *port* and *harbour* are travel-related, which is exactly why they are offered here.
