Cockpit : Pilot :: Bridge : ?

Question

Select the pair that best expresses a relationship similar to the one expressed in the given pair:

Cockpit : Pilot :: Bridge : ?

Choose the correct answer:

1. A. Teacher
2. B. Sailor
3. C. Captain (Correct answer)
4. D. Driver

Correct Answer

Option C — Captain

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Captain.

Key Points

• The relation is workplace : the person who commands from it. A pilot commands an aircraft from the cockpit.
• On a ship, the equivalent command station is the bridge, and the officer who commands from it is the captain.

Additional Information

• Sailor is the tempting distractor, but a sailor is crew — the analogy calls for the person in command, not any occupant.
• Teacher and driver belong to unrelated settings (a classroom and a vehicle).
• Keep the relation precise: it is not merely *place : person present there* but *place of command : the one who commands*.
