Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning** This is an **analogy question** testing relationships between people and their primary workplaces. The pattern is: *Professional : Their main workplace* A doctor's primary workplace is a hospital — that's where they perform their core duties (treating patients, performing surgeries, etc.). Similarly, a teacher's primary workplace is a **school** — where they teach students, conduct lessons, and fulfill their professional role. The relationship must be consistent: Just as "hospital" is the defining workspace for a doctor, "school" is the defining workspace for a teacher. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Library** — Teachers sometimes use libraries, but librarians work there primarily, not teachers. - **Office** — Too generic. Many professionals work in offices; it's not specific to teachers. - **Lab** — Scientists or lab technicians work in labs. Teachers may visit labs, but it's not their primary workspace. **Quick takeaway** In analogy questions, match the **exact relationship**: if the first pair shows "professional → primary workplace," the second pair must follow that same pattern precisely.
