Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate word that means the same as the group of words "a short story with a moral, usually with animals as characters" is fable.
- Hymn is a song of praise or worship.
- Parody is a humorous imitation of a serious work.
- Fable is a short story with a moral, usually with animals as characters.
- Ode is a long, formal poem, typically of a serious or meditative nature.
The word fable is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a short story with a moral, and it is often used to describe stories with animal characters. The other words do not have the same connotation of a moral lesson.
