With reference to the poem, complete the word analogy :

Leerie : lamplighter : : father : ?

  • A.rich businessman
  • B.driver
  • C.sailor
  • D.banker

Answer: D

The word that completes the analogy is banker.

Leerie is the lamplighter, a person and his job. In the poem the poet says, 'my papa's a banker', so the father is a banker.

A driver is what Tom would like to be ('Tom would be a driver'). Maria may go to the sea, which does not make her father a sailor, and 'rich businessman' describes the father's wealth loosely, not his occupation as the poem gives it.
