Verbal analogy (profession to performance domain): Determine the pair that exhibits the same relationship as DIVA : OPERA. Context: A diva is a lead female singer associated with a particular performing art and venue. Instruction: Choose the option where the first word denotes a performer and the second denotes the performance medium or genre.

Given data

• Stem pair: DIVA : OPERA.
• We need the same performer-to-artform relation.

Concept / Approach
A diva is a principal female singer in the artform of opera. We seek a performer and the genre or medium they perform in.

Option-by-option analysis
producer:theatre — a producer finances/manages; not the onstage performer. ❌director:drama — a director oversees staging; not the performer. ❌conductor:bus — a bus conductor is not an artist-to-artform mapping; domain mismatch. ❌thespian:play — a thespian is an actor whose medium is theatre or plays. ✅

Verification
Pattern check: performer → performance domain. Diva → opera; thespian → play. The relational structure matches.

Common pitfalls

• Choosing a managerial or logistical role rather than a performer.
• Confusing workplace or vehicle relationships with artistic genres.

Final Answer
thespian:play
