Analogy — Animal and typical dwelling/shelter: Horse : Stable :: Man : ? Pick the habitation that stands to “Man” as “Stable” stands to “Horse”.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: House

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Dwelling analogies connect an organism to its typical shelter. Horses are kept in stables; humans live in houses (general term for human dwelling).



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Horse → Stable.
  • Man → ? (human dwelling).


Concept / Approach:
Preserve “organism : habitation”. For human beings, the generic corresponding dwelling is “House”.



Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify relation: animal/person → typical shelter.2) Choose “House”.3) Eliminate distractors unrelated to habitation (Woman, Clothes) and mismatched animal shelter (Den).


Verification / Alternative check:
Common GK sets include “Man : House”, “Lion : Den”, “Horse : Stable”.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Woman: Not a dwelling; mismatched entity.
  • Den: Dwelling for certain wild animals (e.g., lion), not for humans.
  • Clothes: Apparel, not habitation.
  • None of these: Invalid since “House” fits.


Common Pitfalls:
Overthinking “Man : Home/Hut”; exam sets accept “House” as the standard counterpart.



Final Answer:
House
