Hide Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (C):
Goose

The analogy relies on the characteristic movement associated with each animal.

The word "Lumber" describes the clumsy, heavy-footed gait of a bear. The bear is known for its large size and somewhat awkward movement.

The word "Waddle" describes the side-to-side, swaying gait of certain birds.

The correct answer is "Goose." A goose is known for its waddling walk, similar to the way a bear lumbers. The other options, parrot, pigeon, hawk, and sparrow, do not share the same characteristic waddling movement. They have other gaits or movements like hopping or soaring. Therefore, the relationship between "Waddle" and "Goose" mirrors the relationship between "Lumber" and "Bear."
