Choose the correct alternative word.
Flower : Butterfly :: Dirt : ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Fly
The pair is a place and the insect that is drawn to it to feed: a butterfly visits flowers for their nectar. In the same way, a fly is drawn to dirt and feeds and breeds on filth and rotting matter.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (2) Rats — Incorrect. Rats are animals, not insects, and live in drains and stores rather than visiting dirt as the butterfly visits flowers.
Option (3) Bugs — Incorrect. “Bugs” is a general word for many insects, not the one insect linked with dirt.
Option (4) Sweeper — Incorrect. A sweeper removes dirt; that is a worker and the thing he clears, a different relation.
