Two-part activity analogy (repaired): “I : Bird :: Shedding : II”. Choose the pair where each second term is the natural process/association of the first.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: DQ (Bird : Moulting :: Shedding : Dog)

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:The provided options did not include the most natural mapping for “Shedding,” which is commonly associated with “Dog” (shedding fur). Using the Recovery-First Policy, we minimally repair the choices to include the consistent pair.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • I-list (typical): (A) Calling (B) Flying (C) Migrating (D) Moulting.
  • II-list (typical): (P) Barn (Q) Dog (R) Hay (S) Farm.
  • Birds undergo moulting; dogs are known for shedding.

Concept / Approach:Pair natural process to subject: Bird → Moulting; Shedding → Dog.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Map the avian process: Bird → Moulting (D).2) Map the shedding subject: Shedding → Dog (Q).3) Combine: DQ.

Verification / Alternative check:“Barn/Hay/Farm” are places/objects, not the animal known for shedding as a natural process.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • BP/BR: “Barn/Hay” are locations/objects; do not express the “shedding” subject.
  • DS: “Farm” is a place, not the subject that sheds.
  • CP: “Migrating/Barn” is mismatched.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing places/objects with the subject that undergoes the process.

Final Answer:DQ
