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

The correct word pair completes the analogy based on the relationship between an adult animal and its young one. The initial pair, 'Cow' is to 'Calf,' establishes this specific relationship: a cow is an adult bovine, and a calf is its offspring. Following this pattern, we need to identify the young one of a 'Dog.'

• Kitten: The young of a cat.
• Puppy: The young of a dog. This is the correct match.
• Cub: The young of various carnivorous mammals, such as bears, lions, or wolves.
• Foal: The young of a horse or other equine animal.

Therefore, 'Dog' is to 'Puppy' correctly maintains the same adult-to-young relationship as 'Cow' is to 'Calf.' These types of questions test vocabulary and the ability to recognize and apply relational patterns, which is a fundamental skill in language comprehension and logical reasoning. Understanding these common animal terms is essential for general knowledge.
