Cat is to Kitten as Cow is to ?

Cat is to Kitten as Cow is to ?

• A. Calf
• B. Bull
• C. Heifer
• D. Calving

Answer: (A)

Analogies pair a word with the word for its young in the same species. Cat and kitten show that a young cat is a kitten. For cows, the young is a calf, so the missing term is calf. Other options refer to different roles: a bull is an adult male cow, a heifer is a young female cow, and calving is the act of giving birth, not a young animal.
