Answer
Correct Answer: Man : Leg
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Three pairs link an animal to its distal foot/ground-contact structure. One pair names an entire limb segment for humans instead of the distal structure (foot).
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Cat : Paw → distal structure.
- Lizard : Pad → toe/foot pads used in contact/adhesion.
- Horse : Hoof → keratinized distal structure.
- Man : Leg → limb segment; the distal foot structure would be “foot,” not “leg.”
Concept / Approach:Normalize to “animal : distal foot structure.” Then find the one that names a broader limb region instead.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) A–C satisfy the distal-structure mapping.2) D references a larger limb segment.3) Hence D is the odd pair.Verification / Alternative check:Human distal contact term is “foot,” not “leg.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They accurately pair species with distal structures.
Common Pitfalls:Accepting any anatomically related term; the cue is “the same level of specificity.”
Final Answer:Man : Leg
