Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Horse : Neigh
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This analogy tests standard animal-sound associations. The correct mapping should pair an animal with its canonical vocalization in ordinary English usage.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Dog → bark; Horse → neigh/whinny; Monkey → chatter/screech; Sparrow → chirp; Cat → meow/purr; “chiro” is not the standard term for owl sounds (hoot/tu-whit/tu-whoo are common).
Concept / Approach:
Choose the pair with the widely accepted conventional label. “Horse : Neigh” is the standard textbook mapping.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Children’s primers and dictionaries alike list “neigh” as the horse’s sound.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They use wrong or nonstandard sound labels.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming any loud noise (e.g., roar, trumpet) can fit smaller animals/birds.
Final Answer:
Horse : Neigh
