Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Baby
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:Analogies frequently use “adult : young one” relations. Kitten is the young of a cat; we must select the human equivalent for a woman.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:The correct counterpart is a generic term denoting the young individual. For humans, “baby” is the appropriate basic term for a very young child and aligns with the generality of “kitten” in the animal case.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Identify relation: adult female → offspring (young).Woman → Baby mirrors Cat → Kitten in role and life stage.Check other choices for species mismatch.Verification / Alternative check:Kitten is species-specific to cats. For humans the standard cross-species neutral term is “baby” or “infant,” which preserves the age-stage mapping without straying into animal taxonomy.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:Picking an animal offspring term due to familiarity rather than maintaining species consistency with “woman.”
Final Answer:Baby
