Analogy

Question:

In the following question find out the option which will replace the blank.

A 'Cow' is to a 'Calf' as 'Goat' is to ___________.

Options:

Colt

Lamb

Kid

Puppy

Correct Answer:

Kid

Explanation:

The answer is Kid.

The analogy is between a cow and its calf, and a goat and its kid. A calf is the young one of a cow, and a kid is the young one of a goat. So, the missing word must be the young one of a goat. Of the answer choices, only kid fits this description.

The other answer choices are not relevant to the analogy. Colt is a young male horse, lamb is a young sheep, puppy is a young dog, and Fiji is a country. None of these are young goats.
