The answer is B, first you need to build a bridge between the stem words. A bridge between the stem words can be: A instrumentalist is part of an orchestra. Then, plug the bridge into the answer choices. So A actor is part of an troupe. Troupe means a company or group, especially of touring actors, singer or dancers. Kaplan strategy.

instrumentalist is one who guides/ directs the orchestra …….similarly director is the one who directs the play
so it should be e

its B, actor : troupe, because orchestra is a group and troupe is also a group , like instrumentalist plays in orchestra in the same way actor dances or play in troupe.
