Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the analogy question "Lamb : Frisk :: Mouse : ?", we need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words (Lamb and Frisk) and apply the same relationship to find the missing term for Mouse.

Let's analyze the given pair:

1. Lamb : Frisk - A 'lamb' is known for frisking, which means to leap or skip in a playful or lively way.
2. Now, we need to determine which of the following behaviors is characteristic of a 'mouse':
   • Trot - This is generally associated with horses or other larger four-legged animals, not mice.
   • Scamper - This term refers to running or moving quickly and lightly, especially in a playful or frightened manner, which matches the characteristic movement of a mouse.
   • Gallop - Similar to trot, it is generally associated with the motion of larger animals such as horses.
   • Flit - This is more associated with flight movements or darting about, often linked to birds or insects.
3. Based on the definitions and options, the word 'Scamper' best describes the characteristic movement of a 'mouse'. Just as a 'lamb' is naturally inclined to 'frisk', a 'mouse' is naturally inclined to 'scamper'.

Conclusion: The correct answer is Scamper.
