Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A crime is to a criminal as art is to an artist. A crime is an act of wrongdoing, and a criminal is a person who committed the act. Art results from a creative act, and an artist is the person who performed the creative act. Answer A is not correct because the relationship is reversed (the person is the pirate to the act of piracy). Answer C is not correct because dogs and cats are not correlated as an act or event and the name given to the person who engaged in the act or event. Answer D is not correct because smiling and a laugh are not correlated as an act or event and the name given to the person who engaged in the act or event.
