Question:

In the following question find out the alternative which will replace the question mark?
Parrot : Cage : : Man : ?

Options:

Home

Motor Car

Prison

Forest

Correct Answer:

Prison

Explanation:

The answer is Prison.

The analogy is between a parrot and its cage, and a man and his prison. A parrot is kept in a cage, and a man is kept in a prison. So, the missing word must be the place where a man is kept. Of the answer choices, only prison fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Home is where a person lives, motor car is a vehicle, forest is a type of natural habitat, and Fiji is a country. None of these are places where a man is kept.
