Question

Choose the option that completes the analogy in the same way as the given pair.
Lumber : Bear :: Waddle : ?

• A. Parrot
• B. Pigeon
• C. Goose
• D. Hawk

Hint:

Match each verb to the animal known for that particular style of walking.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Lumber describes the slow, heavy, clumsy way a bear walks. The pair links a movement verb to the animal famous for moving that way. Waddle describes a short, rocking, side to side walk.

1. Parrot: Parrots are known for climbing and flying, not for a rocking walk, so this does not fit the waddle pattern.
2. Pigeon: Pigeons bob their heads while walking but their gait is not usually called a waddle, so it is a weaker match.
3. Goose: A goose is the classic example of an animal that waddles, moving with short, rocking steps on land.
4. Hawk: Hawks are birds of prey known for soaring and diving, not for a waddling walk on the ground.

The correct option is Goose, the animal most commonly described as waddling.
