'Cow' is related to 'Herbivorous' (an animal classified by what it eats) in the same way as 'Tiger' should be related to which dietary class?

Introduction / Context:
Analogy questions compare two pairs to test whether you can recognize the underlying relationship and apply it consistently. Here, the first pair 'Cow : Herbivorous' expresses a classification by diet. We must choose the dietary class that correctly categorizes a tiger.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Pair 1 establishes the rule: animal → diet type.
• Cows eat plants; they are herbivores.
• Tigers are large cats known as apex predators.
• Answer options list diet categories or distractors.

Concept / Approach:
The correct analogy keeps the same relation: subject (animal) mapped to its true dietary classification. We should neither switch the relation (e.g., to habitat) nor choose a label that does not actually apply.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify relation in the stem: animal → diet class.2) Validate first mapping: Cow → Herbivorous (plants only).3) Apply to 'Tiger': Tigers primarily hunt animals.4) Dietary class for tiger = meat-eating.5) Among options, 'Carnivorous' precisely means meat-eating.

Verification / Alternative check:
Cross-check knowledge: Tigers lack adaptations for digesting plant matter as a primary food; their dentition and predatory behavior confirm a carnivorous diet.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Omnivorous: Eats both plants and animals (e.g., bears, humans) — not accurate for tigers.
• Herbivorous: Plant-eating only — contradicts tiger biology.
• Multivorous: Non-standard/undefined category — distractor.
• None of these: Incorrect because a correct label exists.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing 'omnivore' with 'carnivore' or thinking all big mammals eat plants. Stick to precise biological classifications.

Final Answer:
Carnivorous
