Animal–sound analogy: “Ass : Bray” — select the option that follows the same animal→sound mapping.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Sheep : Bleat

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The mapping is “animal : characteristic sound.” We need another true animal–sound pair.


Concept / Approach:
“Sheep : Bleat” is the correct and widely taught pairing. Other options mismatch animals with impossible or wrong sounds or confuse body parts with sounds.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Flies : Squeak → flies buzz; squeak is misattributed.
  • Hen : Mew → cats mew; hens cluck/cackle.
  • Fox : Snout → snout is anatomy, not a sound.
  • Bee : Roar → bees buzz; roar is for large mammals like lions.


Final Answer:
Sheep : Bleat
