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
"food" relationship — the rabbit’s food.
-
Second pair: Parrot → ?
What does a parrot eat? Parrots commonly eat fruits like apples, berries, or seeds. But 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
However, in this context,
apple (b) is a more universally accepted bird food and matches the "animal : food" pattern.
✔ Answer: b) Apple
>
✔ Explanation: Just as a rabbit eats a carrot, a parrot eats an apple.

2) Apple : Red Square :: Grapes : ?
-
First pair: Apple → Red Square
This is
not a direct physical relationship. The apple is red, and the square is red. So it's likely about
color matching.
-
Second pair: Grapes → ?
Grapes are green. So we need a
green square to match the color.
- Options:
- a) Yellow square – wrong color
- b) Blue square – wrong color
- c) Green square – correct!
✔ Answer: c) Green square
>
✔ Explanation: The first image (apple) is red, so it corresponds to a red square. Similarly, grapes are green, so they correspond to a green square.

3) Dog : Doghouse :: Bird : ?
-
First pair: Dog → Doghouse
A dog lives in a doghouse. So,
habitat/dwelling relationship.

- a) Honeycomb – bees live here
- b) Bees’ hive – again, for bees
- c) Nest with eggs – yes! That’s where birds live.
✔ Answer: c) Nest
>
✔ Explanation: Just as a dog lives in a doghouse, a bird lives in a nest.

4) Square Tile : Square Shape :: Egg : ?
-
First pair: Square tile → Square shape
The tile has a
square shape. So it's a
"object : shape" relationship.
-
Second pair: Egg → ?
An egg is
oval in shape.
- Options:
- a) Circle – close, but not exact
- b) Oval – yes, that matches the shape of an egg
- c) Triangle – no
✔ Answer: b) Oval
>
✔ Explanation: The tile is shaped like a square; similarly, the egg is shaped like an oval.

First pair: Orange → Orange slice
The orange is cut into a slice. So,
whole fruit : slice relationship.

slice of pear.

Wait — actually,
option a is a
pear slice, which matches the pattern.
