Complete the analogy based on places where animals are kept. Pig is to Sty as Dog is to which of the following?

Introduction / Context:
This is a common general knowledge analogy about animals and the places where they are usually kept or live. Pig is matched with Sty, the enclosure in which pigs are housed. You must choose the correct corresponding shelter for a dog from the answer choices.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• First pair: Pig : Sty
• Second pair: Dog : ?
• We consider standard English terms for animal shelters.

Concept / Approach:
The relation is Animal : Shelter. A sty is the pen where pigs are kept. In the same way, we require the word that names the typical enclosed place provided as a home or sleeping area for a domestic dog. The correct option must name a shelter, not another animal, object, or habitat of a different creature.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Check each other option to see whether it names a shelter for some other animal or is not a shelter at all. Burrow is a hole in the ground usually associated with rabbits or small animals. Hives are used for bees. Shed is a general storage structure but not specifically used as the standard word for a dog house in exam context. Stable is used for horses and sometimes cattle. Only Kennel is standard for dogs.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Burrow is a natural underground home primarily for rabbits and some wild animals, not dogs.
• Hives are the houses for bees and completely unrelated to dogs.
• Shed is a generic structure used to store tools or materials and not a specific dog shelter name.
• Stable is the recognised building where horses and occasionally cattle are kept, not dogs.

Common Pitfalls:
Some learners may loosely associate any building or enclosure with dogs and choose Shed or Stable. Exam questions of this type rely on standard one to one mappings between animals and shelters such as Cow : Shed, Horse : Stable, Dog : Kennel, Pig : Sty, and Bee : Hive. Memorising these standard pairs helps avoid confusion.

Final Answer:
Dog is related to Kennel in the same way as Pig is related to Sty.
