If “Stallion” is for “Mare”, then — pick the male–female pairing that mirrors the same species-sex relation. (Recovered typo: “More” → “Mare”.)

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:

  • Stallion → Mare (male ↔ female of horses).
  • We need the same sex-pair direction (male → female).


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:

  • Ewe : Ram — reversed sex direction.
  • Goose : Gander — female → male and also geese; reversed direction.
  • Sow : Bear — wrong species pairing.
  • Bull : Cow — valid pair but not among the original database options; included as a distractor here for completeness.


Common Pitfalls:
Mixing up direction (male→female vs female→male) or crossing species.



Final Answer:
Ram is for Ewe
