Planting : Seed : : Raising : _____
(By word meaning)
Answer: A
The answer is Child.
In the first pair, planting is the act of putting a seed into the ground so that it can grow. Read by word meaning, raising in the same sense is bringing up a child, looking after it until it grows. Both pairs join an act of nurturing to the living thing that is nurtured.
One can also raise a temperature or a height, but that is the other sense of 'raise', to increase, and nothing grows from it. 'Lift' is a synonym of 'raise' in that second sense, not something that is raised, so it breaks the pattern of action and object.
