The relationship between FLOWER and BOUQUET is one of a part to whole or component to collection. A flower is an individual component that is often grouped with others to form a bouquet, which is a collection of flowers. In the first pair, the relationship between soldier and company fits this model because a soldier is an individual member who is part of a larger unit called a company. Just as a bouquet consists of multiple flowers, a company consists of multiple soldiers. The other pairs do not maintain this same type of relationship. For example, bread and cookies represent two separate food items but are not components of each other. A magazine contains a cover, but the cover alone does not represent the entire magazine. A tap and water are related as a mechanism and its substance but do not denote a collection or component relationship akin to flowers and bouquets. Therefore, the most accurate pair that mirrors the relationship of FLOWER to BOUQUET is soldier to company.
