Question

In the following question, select the related word from the given alternatives.

Jurisprudence : Law :: Epistemology : ?

1. A. Reality
2. B. Logic
3. C. Knowledge (Correct answer)
4. D. Ethics

Correct Answer

Option C — Knowledge

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Knowledge.

Key Points

• The relationship is branch of study : its subject matter.
• Jurisprudence is the theory and philosophy of law, so the second term names what the first studies.
• Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge — its nature, sources and limits.
• The distractors each map to a different branch: Reality belongs to metaphysics (or ontology), Logic to the study of valid reasoning, and Ethics to morality.

Additional Information

• The main branches of philosophy worth learning as a set: Metaphysics (reality and being), Epistemology (knowledge), Ethics (morality), Logic (reasoning) and Aesthetics (beauty and art).
• Other "-ology" terms SSC repeats: Etymology (origins of words), Entomology (insects), Ornithology (birds), Seismology (earthquakes), Numismatics (coins) and Philately (stamps).
• In analogy questions, name the relationship in words before looking at the options — doing so prevents being pulled toward a word that merely sounds related.
