Question:

Which of the following alternative will replace the question mark?

Lawn : Grass::? :?

Options:

Wool: Sheep

Skin:Goat

Pelt:Fur

Rice:farm

Correct Answer:

Pelt:Fur

Explanation:

A lawn is typically made of grass, so we're looking for a relationship where one thing is made up of the other.

  1. Wool: Sheep - Wool comes from sheep, but it's not a direct analogy to lawn and grass because wool is a product of sheep, not the material that makes up sheep. Incorrect.
  2. Skin: Goat - Similarly, skin is part of a goat, but it's not the primary material that makes up a goat. Incorrect.
  3. Pelt: Fur - A pelt is typically made of fur, just as a lawn is made of grass. This is a strong analogy and hence correct.
  4. Rice: Farm - This analogy doesn't fit the pattern. Rice is a crop that grows on a farm, but it's not a relationship of one thing being made up of another. Incorrect.

As the grass grows on the lawn, similarly, fur is present on the pelt (Pelt is the skin of an animal with hair/fur still on it).
