Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct alternative.

Caw is to crows as ............... is to cows.

• A. bleat
• B. snort
• C. low
• D. bellow

Hint:

Think of the specific verb for a cow's call, the same way "caw" is specific to crows.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
This is a sound-to-animal analogy. "Caw" is the specific word for the sound a crow makes, so we need the word that is the specific, standard match for the sound a cow makes.

Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
Many English animal sounds have one dedicated verb, bark for dogs, neigh for horses, bleat for sheep and goats, grunt for pigs. We need the word dictionaries give as the characteristic sound tied specifically to cattle.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
Bleat is the call of sheep and goats, not cows, so it does not fit here.
Snort is a short, forceful sound made through the nose, typically linked with horses or pigs, or a person expressing contempt, not the characteristic call of a cow.
Low, used as a verb ("to low"), is defined in standard dictionaries as the deep sound made by cattle, the same sound more commonly called a moo. It is the word most exactly paired with "cow" the way "caw" is paired with "crow", and it even appears in classic English poetry, "the lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea," referring to cattle.
Bellow describes a deep, loud roar, more typically linked to bulls, elephants, or an angry person shouting, rather than the ordinary sound made by a cow.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The most precise, dictionary-supported match for the sound a cow makes is "low". \[ \boxed{\text{Low, option C}} \]
