BARGE : VESSEL : :
Shovel : Instrument
Book : Anthology
Rim : Edge
Training : Preparation
Correct Answer :
B. Book : Anthology
Barge is a flat-bottom boat which is used for carrying or transporting heavy loads; whereas, a vessel can mean a craft or a vehicle designed for water transportation. So, the relation in the word is type of i.e. barge is a type of vessel. Shovel is an instrument, rim is edge, and training is preparation. Thus, the only option that does not match the given relationship is option (b), because an anthology may be a type of a book, but not the other way around.
