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
