Cat: Kitten :: Lion : ?
Analogy Explanation: Cat to Kitten
The question presents an analogy problem. We first need to understand the relationship between the first pair of words: "Cat" and "Kitten".
A "Kitten" is the name for a young, baby cat. Therefore, the relationship is Parent Animal : Young Offspring.
Applying the Analogy to Lion
Now, we apply the same relationship (Parent Animal : Young Offspring) to the third word, "Lion". We need to find the correct term for the young offspring of a lion.
Let's examine the options:
- Shoal: This refers to a group of fish, not a young lion.
- Infant: This term typically refers to a very young human baby. While technically a young one, it's not the specific term for a lion's offspring.
- Cub: This is the specific and correct term for the young offspring of a lion, tiger, bear, wolf, and other similar mammals.
- Fawn: This is the term for a young deer.
Identifying the Correct Term for Lion's Offspring
Based on the established relationship and the definitions of the options, the term "Cub" correctly represents the young offspring of a "Lion", maintaining the same analogy pattern as "Cat : Kitten".
