Question

Find the correct alternative.
Flying: Bird:: Creeping:?

The correct answer is
Snail

Analogy Explanation: Flying and Bird

The question presents an analogy, which is a form of comparison between two things based on a specific relationship. The first pair is 'Flying: Bird'.

  • Flying is an action or a mode of movement.
  • Bird is an animal that is well-known for performing the action of flying.

The relationship here is: Action : Animal known for that Action.

Creeping: Identifying the Match

The second part of the analogy is 'Creeping: ?'. We need to find an animal that is primarily known for the action of 'Creeping'.

  • Creeping refers to a slow, low movement, often close to the ground.

We need to find an option that represents an animal fitting this description.

Analyzing the Options

Let's examine the given options to find the animal that creeps:

  • Aeroplane: This is a machine used for flying, not an animal. It does not fit the relationship.
  • Ground: This is a surface, not an animal. It does not fit the relationship.
  • Flower: This is a part of a plant, not an animal. It does not fit the relationship.
  • Snail: This is a slow-moving animal known for its distinctive way of moving, which is often described as creeping.

The snail moves by contracting its muscles and using its flat, muscular 'foot' to glide along surfaces, which is a form of creeping.

Conclusion

Therefore, the animal that matches the action 'Creeping' in the same way a 'Bird' matches 'Flying' is the Snail.

The completed analogy is: Flying: Bird :: Creeping: Snail.
