Answer
Correct Answer: Medicine : Cure
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Liquor leads to intoxication. The medical parallel is “medicine leads (ideally) to cure”. Both are canonical cause→effect pairings.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Engine : Fuel — Reversed dependency; engines consume fuel.
- Whisky : Alcoholic — Category confusion; “alcoholic” is a person-dependent descriptor.
- Bottle : Cork — Container and closure; not cause→effect.
- None of these — invalid because “Medicine : Cure” fits.
Final Answer:Medicine : Cure
