A graduate is to degree as a novice is to ?

• A. Certificate
• B. Apprenticeship
• C. Diploma
• D. License

Answer: (B)

This question looks at how a completed level of study relates to the starting path in a field. A graduate has finished a degree, showing they've completed an advanced course of study. For a novice, the closest equivalent path is an apprenticeship, where someone new to a craft works under a skilled mentor, gaining hands-on training and a credential as they develop expertise. The other options don’t capture the beginner-to-professional development path as directly: a certificate is typically a shorter credential not tied to a long training trajectory; a diploma is a postsecondary credential but not specifically the starting training path for a craft; a license is a permission to practice after meeting criteria, often after apprenticeship or formal training, not the initial training route itself. Thus, apprenticeship best matches the intended relationship.
