How is the word 'computer' correctly associated with 'technology'?

• A. Pen : Writing
• B. Camera : Photo
• C. Phone : Communication
• D. Table : Surface

Answer: (C)

The association of 'computer' with 'technology' is best mirrored by the relationship of 'phone' to 'communication' because both pairs reflect a fundamental purpose of the items in question. A computer is primarily a technological device used for processing information, performing calculations, and enabling various digital tasks. Similarly, a phone is a device primarily used for communication, facilitating the exchange of information between individuals.

In this context, both pairs illustrate how one term (computer or phone) functions primarily in connection with the other term (technology or communication). This highlights a core relationship where each first term is recognized for its role in enhancing or enabling the experience described by the second term.

The other pairings do not reflect this same level of functional relationship. While a pen is associated with writing and a camera with photos, these relationships do not emphasize the core function in the same direct manner as technology and communication represent the essential roles of computers and phones, respectively. The table and surface pairing focuses more on physical characteristics rather than functional associations.
