Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: This is an analogy question. We need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words ("Goat is to kid") and then find another pair of words from the options that has the same relationship. Step 1: Determine the relationship in the first pair "Goat is to kid" A kid is the young (offspring) of a goat. So, the relationship is: Adult Animal is to its Young. Step 2: Analyze the options to find a similar relationship
(1) Shark is to fish: A shark is a {type} of fish. This is a "type of" or "member of a category" relationship, not adult to young.
(2) Kangaroo is to joey: A joey is the young (offspring) of a kangaroo. This matches the "Adult Animal is to its Young" relationship.
(3) Feline is to cat: "Feline" is an adjective relating to the cat family, or a noun referring to a member of the cat family (Felidae). A domestic cat is a type of feline. This is a "category to member" or "adjective to noun" relationship. Not adult to young.
(4) Jasmine is to flower: Jasmine is a {type} of flower. This is a "specific example to general category" relationship. Not adult to young. Step 3: Identifying the correct analogous pair The pair "Kangaroo is to joey" has the same relationship (adult animal to its young) as "Goat is to kid".
