Analogy Solution: Horse to Peacock

This question presents a word analogy. The goal is to identify the relationship between the first pair of words and apply it to the second pair.

Step 1: Analyze the first pair

The first pair is Horse : Mare. A 'Mare' is the term for an adult female horse. The relationship is therefore Male Animal : Female Animal.

Step 2: Apply the relationship to the second pair

The second pair starts with Peacock. We need to find the corresponding female term.

Step 3: Identify the correct term

We examine the options provided:

  • Peahen: This is the correct term for a female peacock.
  • Cub: This refers to a young animal of certain species (e.g., lion, bear).
  • Bull: This is a male bovine.
  • Sparrow: This is a different type of bird entirely.

Applying the Male : Female relationship, the correct counterpart for Peacock is Peahen.
