Analogy — Map animal to typical dwelling: Lion : Den :: Rabbit : ?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Burrow

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:“Lion : Den” pairs an animal with its characteristic dwelling. We must choose the standard term for a rabbit’s dwelling to mirror this relation precisely.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Lions live in dens.
  • Rabbits live in burrows (interconnected tunnels).
  • Other terms are generic holes/depressions, not the zoologically standard name.

Concept / Approach:Preserve “animal → conventional dwelling term.” Avoid generic nouns that do not specify the species-typical habitat name.

Step-by-Step Solution:Lion → den.Rabbit → ? → burrow.

Verification / Alternative check:Common vocabulary lists: rabbit→burrow/warren. “Burrow” is the canonical single-word dwelling term.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:(a) Trench – man-made or war feature.(b) Hole – generic; lacks species specificity.(c) Pit – natural depression; not a rabbit's structured dwelling.

Common Pitfalls:Picking a generic “hole” instead of the recognized dwelling term used in aptitude exams.

Final Answer:Burrow
