Choose the correct word pair: ‘Cow’ is to ‘Calf’ as ‘Dog’ is to:

The correct answer is Puppy because this option accurately satisfies the animal-to-offspring analogy established in the first half of the prompt.

• Puppy: This is the correct choice. The relationship given in the question is 'adult animal to its specific offspring' (a baby cow is a calf). Therefore, to complete the analogy, the term must represent the offspring of a dog, which is universally defined as a puppy.


• Incorrect Options:
  
  
  
  • Kitten: This is incorrect. A kitten is the specific term used for the offspring of a cat, not a dog.
  
  
  • Cub: This is incorrect. A cub represents the offspring of large carnivorous mammals such as bears, lions, tigers, and foxes.
  
  
  • Foal: This is incorrect. A foal is the designated term for a young horse or related equine animal under one year of age.
