Animal-to-dwelling mapping: “Pig : Sty”. Choose the option that preserves the same “animal : typical shelter” relation.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Hen : Coop

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The relation is “animal → its standard enclosure/shelter.” For pigs, the shelter is a sty. We must pick a parallel pair.


Given Data / Assumptions:
Recovery-First applied to replace non-dwelling distractors with a clear dwelling option “Hen : Coop,” which is a canonical pairing in GK sets.


Concept / Approach:
Match the structural relation “animal : place where it is kept.” “Hen : Coop” fits. “Owl : Barn” is not the standard shelter term (though barn owls nest in barns, the lexicalized shelter pair is not “owl : barn”). Other options name sounds, not dwellings.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Confirm relation: animal → shelter. 2) Select “Hen : Coop”. 3) Discard sound or vague/incorrect shelter pairs.


Verification / Alternative check:
Common GK lists: cow–byre, horse–stable, hen–coop, dog–kennel, pig–sty.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are sounds (“bray/bleat”) or nonstandard shelter mappings.


Common Pitfalls:
Equating habitat with formal shelter terms.


Final Answer:
Hen : Coop
