Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this analogy question, we must first understand the relationship between the words "Lumber" and "Bear." The key here is to recognize that "lumber" is a verb describing a specific type of movement, which, in this context, refers to the heavy and awkward way a bear might move.

Now let's apply this understanding to the word "Waddle," which is also a verb that describes a particular way of moving, characterized by short steps and a swaying motion typically associated with some animals.

We need to identify which animal from the given options moves by waddling:

1. Parrot: Parrots typically fly or hop, but they do not waddle.
2. Pigeon: Pigeons walk or fly, but they are not particularly known for waddling.
3. Goose: Geese are well-known for waddling. They move slowly with a notable sway or side-to-side motion.
4. Hawk: Hawks are known for flying and do not waddle.
5. Sparrow: Sparrows hop or fly, but they do not waddle.

Therefore, the word "Goose" correctly corresponds with "Waddle" in the same way that "Lumber" corresponds with "Bear." Hence, the correct answer is:

Goose
