Analogy (word relationship): Complete the pair by identifying the part a bird uses for drinking/eating. Given pair: CUP : LIP :: BIRD : ? Choose the option that best completes the analogy.

Difficulty: Easy

Beak
Wing
Claw
Feather

Correct Answer: Beak

Explanation:

Given data

Pair: CUP : LIP :: BIRD : ?
"Lip" here is the rim/edge of a cup that touches the mouth while drinking.

Concept / Approach
Analogies compare parallel relationships. If a cup's lip is the edge used for drinking, the corresponding functional part in birds for drinking/eating is the beak.

Step-by-step reasoning
Cup → part used at the mouth = Lip. Bird → part used at the mouth = Beak.

Eliminate distractors
Wing (locomotion), Claw (grasping), Feather (insulation/flight) do not match the mouth-function relation.

Final Answer
Beak
