Let's solve each picture analogy step by step and explain the reasoning behind each answer.
---
1) Rabbit : Carrot :: Parrot : ?
-
First pair: Rabbit → Carrot
A rabbit eats a carrot. So, this is a
"animal to its food" relationship.
-
Second pair: Parrot → ?
What does a parrot eat? Parrots often eat fruits like apples, berries, or seeds. Among the options:
- a) Chili pepper – not typical parrot food
- b) Apple – yes, parrots eat apples
- c) Cherries – also possible, but less common than apples
But look at the pattern: The first image shows a
rabbit, which is associated with
carrot (a vegetable). However, the
parrot is a bird that typically eats
fruits.
Now, among the choices:
-
b) Apple is a fruit and commonly eaten by parrots.
-
c) Cherries are also fruits, but apples are more universally recognized as bird food.
But wait — notice that
carrot is a vegetable, and
apple is a fruit. But both are foods. The key is:
What is the favorite food of a parrot? Apples are common.
✔ Answer: b) Apple
>
Explanation: Rabbit eats carrot; parrot eats apple (fruit).

2) Apple : Red Square :: Grapes : ?
- First pair: Apple → Red Square
This seems abstract. The apple is red, and the square is also red. So it's
color-based.
- Apple is red → Red square.
- Second pair: Grapes → ?
- Grapes are green (in this image), so the matching shape should be
green.
Options:
- a) Yellow square
- b) Blue square
- c) Green square
✔
✔ Answer: c) Green square
>
Explanation: The color of the fruit matches the color of the shape. Apple is red → red square; grapes are green → green square.

3) Dog : Doghouse :: Bird : ?
- Dog lives in a doghouse →
habitat
- Bird lives in a nest
Look at options:
- a) Honeycomb – bees live here
- b) Beehive – again, for bees
- c) Nest – birds live in nests
✔
✔ Answer: c) Nest
>
Explanation: Dog → Doghouse (home); Bird → Nest (home)
---
4) Floor Tile : Square :: Egg : ?
- First pair: Floor tile → Square
The floor tile is
square-shaped.
- Second pair: Egg → ?
The egg is
oval-shaped.
So, we're looking for a shape that matches the
shape of the object.
But the analogy is:
Object : Shape
- Floor tile is a square → represented by a square
- Egg is oval → should be represented by an oval
Options:
- a) Circle
- b) Oval
✔
- c) Triangle
✔ Answer: b) Oval
>
Explanation: The floor tile is square → shown as a square; the egg is oval → shown as an oval.

5) Orange : Orange Slice :: Pear : ?
- Orange → Orange slice (it’s a piece of the whole fruit)
- Pear → ? Should be a
slice of pear
Options:
- a) Pear slice
✔
- b) Watermelon slice (not related to pear)
- c) Watermelon slice (same)
Only
a) shows a sliced pear.
✔ Answer: a) Pear slice
>
Explanation: Just as an orange is cut into slices, a pear is cut into slices.
---
✔ Final Answers:
1)
b) Apple
2)
c) Green square
3)
c) Nest
4)
b) Oval
5)
a) Pear slice

These analogies test
logical relationships such as:
- Food preferences
- Color matching
- Habitat
- Shape representation
- Part-to-whole (slice of fruit)
