Sample question
Problem: Map {planet, attracts, revolves, sun, gravity, solar system, mass} to {revolves, atom, attracts, electromagnetism, nucleus, charge, electron}
Solution: {solar system -> atom, sun -> nucleus, planet -> electron, mass -> charge, attracts -> attracts, revolves -> revolves, gravity -> electromagnetism}
