Analogy — Bird : Fly :: Snake : ? Select the option that names the characteristic mode of locomotion for a snake, just as flying is for many birds.

Introduction / Context:
“Bird : Fly” pairs an animal with its characteristic movement. While not all birds fly, flight is their defining locomotion. We need the corresponding locomotion verb for snakes to sustain the animal–movement relationship.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Bird → fly is a canonical association.
• Snake’s characteristic locomotion is crawling (also described as slithering).
• We want a movement verb, not a place or unrelated action.

Concept / Approach:
Match semantic category (animal → movement). Ensure the second term is an appropriate motion verb widely attributed to snakes. Eliminate nouns/locations and unrelated actions.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Basic zoological descriptions label snake locomotion as slithering or crawling along the ground using abdominal scales and muscle waves.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Hole — habitat/feature, not motion.
• Clatter — a noise, not movement.
• Stroll — leisurely human walk; not applied to snakes.

Common Pitfalls:
Picking a habitat or onomatopoeic term instead of the motion verb demanded by the analogy.

Final Answer:
Crawl
