Question

In analogy, you are required to guess the relation between the two given words and fill in the blanks after finding the similar relationship by choosing any word from the options given below:
BEES: SWARM :: LIONS:______

• A. SCHOOL
• B. PACK
• C. PRIDE
• D. BAND

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this analogy question, we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words, "BEES" and "SWARM," and then find the word among the options that has a similar relationship with "LIONS."

1. Understanding the Relationship:
   • "BEES: SWARM" indicates a collective noun relationship, where "SWARM" is the term used to describe a group of "BEES."
2. Applying the Same Relationship:
   • We need to find a collective noun for "LIONS" from the provided options.
3. Analyzing the Options:
   • SCHOOL: Typically used for a group of fish, not lions.
   • PACK: Usually refers to a group of wolves or dogs.
   • PRIDE: The correct term used to describe a group of lions.
   • BAND: Not commonly used to describe a group of lions.

Conclusion: The correct answer is "PRIDE" because just as a "SWARM" refers to a group of "BEES," a "PRIDE" refers to a group of "LIONS."
