In each of the following questions, a related pair of words is followed by four pairs of words or phrases. Select the pair that best expresses a relationship similar to the one expressed in the question pair.

Buddhists: pagoda

The correct answer is Jews : Synagogue.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the original pair:
The given pair is Buddhists : pagoda.
A pagoda is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, built as a sacred place of worship for Buddhists.
Therefore, the relationship is: [Group of People/Religion] : [Their Place of Worship].

2. Evaluate each option based on this relationship:

• Parsis : temple - While Parsis worship in a place called an Agiary or Fire Temple, specifying just "temple" is too generic and typically associated with Hinduism.
• Christians : cross - A cross is a religious symbol for Christians, not their place of worship (which would be a church).
• Jains : sun Temple - The Sun Temple is specifically a Hindu temple dedicated to the Solar deity (Surya), not the main place of worship for Jains (who worship in Jain temples/Basadis).
• Jews : Synagogue - A synagogue is the traditional place of worship for Jews (people practicing Judaism). This precisely mirrors the [Group of People] : [Place of Worship] relationship established in the original pair.

Hence, the option that best expresses a similar relationship is Jews : Synagogue.
