The given problem is a verbal analogy where a relationship between the first pair of words has to be identified and applied to find the missing word in the second pair. Let's examine the relationship:
- Observe the first pair of words: "Hen : Chick".
- Explanation: A "chick" is the young one of a "hen". This indicates a parent-offspring relationship, specifically a female animal with its young.
- Now, apply this relationship to the second part of the analogy: "Frog : ...". We need to determine the young one of a frog.
- The young one of a frog is called a "tadpole".
- Therefore, the correct option that completes the analogy is "Tadpole".
Let's evaluate the options provided:
- Kitten: The young one of a cat. Not relevant to a frog.
- Tadpole: The young one of a frog. Correct choice.
- Puppy: The young one of a dog. Not relevant to a frog.
- Fawn: The young one of a deer. Not relevant to a frog.
Thus, based on the parent-offspring relationship, the correct answer is Tadpole.
