Animal-to-typical-sound mapping: “Dog : Bark”. Select the option that preserves the same relation.

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:

1) Identify relation: animal → typical sound. 2) Eliminate nonstandard or incorrect sound labels. 3) Pick “Horse : Neigh”.

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
