Elephant : Trumpet :: Rat : ?

Options:

Kitten

Nestling

Correct Answer:

Squeak

Explanation:

The answer is Squeak.

The relationship between the first two words is that the first word is a large animal that makes a loud noise, and the second word is the noise that the animal makes. The same relationship exists between the third and fourth words.

  • Elephant is a large animal that makes a loud noise called a trumpet.
  • Rat is a small animal that makes a high-pitched noise called a squeak.
  • Hole is not a noise that an elephant or a rat makes.
  • Kitten is a young cat, not a rat.
  • Nestling is a young bird, not a rat.
