Choose the pair that expresses a relationship most similar to that in the original pair: INSULIN : PANCREAS
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Thyroxine : Thyroid
- Step 1: Identify the relationship: Insulin is a hormone produced and secreted by the pancreas.
- Step 2: Evaluate the options: Thyroxine is a hormone produced and secreted by the thyroid gland. Bile is produced by the liver (not stomach); pepsin is produced by the stomach (not intestine).
Answer
Thyroxine : Thyroid.
Why not the others: 'Pepsin : Intestine' is incorrect because pepsin is secreted in the gastric mucosa; 'Adrenaline : Brain' is secreted by the adrenal medulla; 'Bile : Stomach' is produced in hepatocytes of the liver.
