Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning** This is an **analogy question** — it tests relationships between pairs of words. The pattern is: **Person : Place of work** A doctor's primary workplace is a hospital. So we need to find where a teacher primarily works. That's a **school** — where teachers teach students, prepare lessons, and carry out their core duties. The relationship must be **direct and primary**. Just like "Doctor : Hospital," the second word should be the main professional environment for the first word. **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 (accountants, managers, etc.), so it's not specific to teachers. - **Lab** — Scientists and lab technicians work in labs. Teachers might visit labs occasionally, but it's not their primary workspace. **Quick takeaway** In analogy questions, match the **exact relationship type** between the first pair, then find the option that mirrors it most directly — here, profession to main workplace.
