Choose the correct word: Book is to Reading as Fork is to —.

This is an analogy question that tests the ability to identify relationships between pairs of words.

• Foundational Fact: Analogies require you to determine the relationship between the first pair of words and then find a word that has the same relationship with the third word. Here, the relationship is "object is primarily used for its function."
• Correct Answer (D): "Book is to Reading as Fork is to Eating." A book's primary and most common purpose is for reading. Similarly, a fork's primary and most common purpose is for eating.
• Why Distractors are Wrong:
  • (A) "Drawing" is not the primary function of a fork. While one could technically draw with a fork, it's not its main purpose.
  • (B) "Writing" is also not the primary function of a fork.
  • (C) "Stirring" can be done with a fork, but it is not its primary function in the same way that reading is to a book. Spoons are more commonly associated with stirring, and eating is the fork's most direct and primary function.
