Analogy — Animal feed types: Mash : Horse :: Mast : ?

Introduction / Context:
This analogy relates an animal to a traditional type of feed. “Mash” is a moist feed often given to horses; “mast” refers to the fruit of forest trees (acorns, beechnuts) eaten notably by pigs.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Mash → horse feed.
• Mast → forest nuts/fruits consumed by swine (and some other animals) historically/seasonally.

Concept / Approach:
Find the animal most classically associated with “mast.”

Step-by-Step Solution:

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Cow: primarily grazes; “mast” is not its typical feed.
• Monkey: eats fruits but “mast” is not the term of art.
• Lion: carnivore; irrelevant.
• None of these: incorrect since “Pig” fits.

Common Pitfalls:
Interpreting “mast” as a pole on a ship; in husbandry/ecology, “mast” is tree fruit used as forage.

Final Answer:
Pig
