Quick wink: The career ladder reached the top without chalk, ropes, or sensible footwear.
How to find the connection
- Pair Stairs with Mountains; both naturally take the verb climb.
- Check Trees and indoor rock walls, which involve physical ascent using hands, feet, or equipment.
- Interpret the career ladder figuratively as professional advancement, proving that the action spans literal and idiomatic uses.
