Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Ram is for Ewe
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Male–female animal name pairs are a common analogy topic. The stem (with recovered spelling) gives “stallion : mare” (male horse : female horse). We must choose another correct male : female pair within a single species.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
“Ram : Ewe” is male sheep → female sheep, exactly mirroring the structure. “Ewe : Ram” reverses the direction; “Goose : Gander” is female → male; “Sow : Bear” mixes species; “Bull : Cow” is a valid pair but was not given in the original options—offered here only as a plausibility check.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Match species and sex directionality.Select “Ram : Ewe.”
Verification / Alternative check:
Livestock terminology confirms ram (male sheep) and ewe (female sheep).
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Mixing up direction (male→female vs female→male) or crossing species.
Final Answer:
Ram is for Ewe
