Understanding the Analogy
In the analogy "Birds : Chirp :: Dogs : ?", we are comparing the sounds made by two different animals. The first part connects birds to the sound they make, which is "chirp." We need to find a similar relationship for dogs.
Identifying the Sound of Dogs
- When we think of the sounds that dogs make, the most common and recognizable sound is "bark."
- Other options such as "grunts," "roar," and "bleat" do not accurately represent the typical sound made by dogs.
Analyzing the Options
- a) Grunts: This sound is usually associated with pigs, not dogs.
- b) Bark: This is the correct answer. Dogs are known for barking, making it the sound that corresponds directly to the animal in the analogy.
- c) Roar: This sound is typically associated with large wild cats, like lions, and does not relate to dogs.
- d) Bleat: This sound is associated with sheep, which is not relevant to dogs.
Conclusion
The correct answer is b) Bark because it is the sound that dogs are known for, just as "chirp" is the sound that birds produce. This analogy helps us understand the relationship between animals and the sounds they make, reinforcing the concept of animal communication.
