From the given pair of words, choose the one which do not carry the same relationship:
Parent : Offspring
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Brother : Cousin
Given pair: Parent : Offspring → the first word is the parent and the second its young one
| Pair | Relationship |
|---|---|
| (1) Cow : Calf | parent and offspring (a calf is the young of a cow) |
| (2) Hen : Chicken | parent and offspring (a chicken – chick – is the young of a hen) |
| (3) Mother : Daughter | parent and offspring (a daughter is the child of her mother) |
| (4) Brother : Cousin (answer) | relatives of the same generation, so this pair does not carry the same relationship (a cousin is not the child of a brother – that would be a nephew or niece) |
