Question

Horse : Foal :: Kangaroo : ?

• A. Fawn
• B. Joey
• C. Cub
• D. Lamb

Hint:

Many analogy questions are based on animal-young pairs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the analogy question "Horse : Foal :: Kangaroo : ?", we need to understand the relationship between the word pairs:

1. The term "Foal" is used to describe a young horse. Therefore, the relationship in the first pair (Horse : Foal) is that of an animal and its young.
2. We need to find a word that denotes a young kangaroo, similar to how "Foal" denotes a young horse.
3. Among the given options, "Joey" is commonly known as the term for a young kangaroo.
4. None of the other options match the relationship:
   • Fawn: This refers to a young deer.
   • Cub: This term is used for young bears, lions, or tigers.
   • Lamb: This is the term for a young sheep.
5. Therefore, the correct answer is "Joey".

Thus, Horse : Foal :: Kangaroo : Joey is the correct analogy, as both pairs show the relationship between an animal and its baby.
