Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: Man : Foot
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The first pair links an animal to its characteristic distal limb structure. We must choose a pair that preserves the “animal→foot structure” relationship.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Horse → hoof (ungulate foot).
- Human → foot (plantigrade structure).
Concept / Approach:Pick an animal mapped to its correct basic foot/appendage term.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify role: animal→its foot structure.2) “Man : Foot” matches “Horse : Hoof.”Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Dog : Black: attribute (color), not foot structure.
- Paise : Rupee: currency relation.
- Pen : Pencil: coordinate items, not anatomical relation.
- None of these: incorrect as “Man : Foot” fits.
Common Pitfalls:Choosing attribute or category relations instead of structural analogues.
Final Answer:Man : Foot
