Answer
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
