Animal is to veterinarian as person is to __________.
Since veterinarians help animals when they are sick or hurt, we need to pick out a word that represents an occupation whose practitioners help out people when they are sick or hurt. While both "doctor" and "hospital" may look like correct answers, "hospital" can't be the correct answer because it is the name of the place where people go when they are sick or hurt, and not the job title of the people who help them. "Doctor" is the correct answer because just like veterinarians help animals when they are injured, doctors help people when they are injured.

Firefighter is to fire as __________.
Since firefighters fight fires, we need to pick out another pair of words in which the first word is a job, and the second word is the thing that people who work that job try to stop. While "policeman," "librarian," "doctor," and "waiter" are all occupations, but "healthy" can't be the correct answer because it's an adjective, not a noun, and "librarian is to books" can't be correct either because a librarian doesn't try to stop books, he or she distributes them and helps people find them. Since a policewoman's job is to stop crime, just like a firefighter's job is to stop fires, "policewoman is to crime" is the correct answer.
