Sound of animals – choose the correct cry: “Jackal” is related to “howl” in the same way that “cow” is related to which of the following?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Moo

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This analogy tests knowledge of standard animal sounds. Such pairs are frequently asked in verbal ability and GK sections to check everyday vocabulary and associations.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Jackal → howl (typical cry).
  • We need the canonical sound for cow.


Concept / Approach:
Match each animal with its widely accepted onomatopoeic sound word in English. The correct and most recognized sound of a cow is “moo.” Other sound words in the options belong to different animals and must be ruled out by direct knowledge.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Recall standard mappings: cow → moo; owl → hoot; pigeon/dove → coo; crow → caw (third-person “caws”).Select the item that fits cow: “Moo.”


Verification / Alternative check:


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Caws: Crow’s cry.
  • Hoot: Owl’s call.
  • Coo: Pigeon/dove sound.
  • Growl: Typical of canines/bears, not cows.


Common Pitfalls:
Picking a familiar sound word without verifying the exact animal mapping. Memorize the canonical pairs.


Final Answer:
Moo
