Analogy — Tools of trade: Carpenter is to chisel, as cobbler is to ____

Introduction / Context:This analogy focuses on characteristic tools. A carpenter commonly uses a chisel; a cobbler traditionally uses a last/shoe anvil as a core working surface/tool for shaping and repairing footwear. Among the given options, “anvil” best captures this trade-tool association.

Concept / Approach:Match each profession to a distinctive tool. While cobblers also use awls/needles, those are not offered here; “anvil” is the most appropriate choice among the options because a cobbler’s last is an anvil-like implement.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Saw/axe — typical for carpentry/woodcutting, not shoemaking.
• Drill — generic tool; not emblematic of cobbling.

Final Answer:anvil
