10. Penguin is to Antarctica as panda is to ______.
→ Penguins live in Antarctica. Pandas live in China (specifically, bamboo forests there).
✔ China
11. Goose is to flock as spider is to ______.
→ Geese travel in flocks. Spiders sometimes gather in groups — but more accurately, spiders don’t typically form flocks. Wait — this might be tricky. Actually, “flock” is a group of birds. For spiders, we say “cluster” or “colony,” but that’s not standard. Let’s think: maybe it’s about grouping? Actually, some sources use “clutter” for spiders — but that’s rare. Better answer: spiders don’t really have a common group name like “flock.” But wait — perhaps the intended answer is “web”? No, that doesn’t fit. Another idea: maybe it’s “group”? Too vague. Let’s reconsider: goose → flock (group), so spider → ? The correct term for a group of spiders is actually “clutter” — yes! It’s an accepted collective noun.
✔ clutter
*(Note: If your teacher expects something simpler, they may accept “group,” but “clutter” is technically correct.)*
12. Ant is to six legs as spider is to ______.
→ Ants have 6 legs. Spiders have 8 legs.
