Answer
Correct Answer: Beak
Explanation
Given data
- Pair: CUP : LIP :: BIRD : ?
- "Lip" here is the rim/edge of a cup that touches the mouth while drinking.
Concept / Approach Analogies compare parallel relationships. If a cup's lip is the edge used for drinking, the corresponding functional part in birds for drinking/eating is the beak.
Step-by-step reasoning Cup → part used at the mouth = Lip. Bird → part used at the mouth = Beak.
Eliminate distractors Wing (locomotion), Claw (grasping), Feather (insulation/flight) do not match the mouth-function relation.
Final Answer Beak
