Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Zebras and giraffes are two distinct kinds of animal with no individual belonging to both, so they appear as two separate circles inside the circle for animals: (1) matches (Q). The roles of director, producer, and actor can be held by the same person in any combination, which three mutually intersecting circles depict: (2) matches (R). Words compose sentences, and sentences compose a novel, a strict nesting that concentric circles depict: (3) matches (S). Every pianist and every guitarist is an instrumentalist, and a single musician can play both instruments, so two overlapping circles sit inside the circle for instrumentalists: (4) matches (P). Hence (1)–(Q); (2)–(R); (3)–(S); (4)–(P).
