Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Horse
Explanation: A paw is the foot of animals like cats and dogs; a hoof is the hard covering of the toe found on animals such as horses and sheep. The best match for 'Hoof' in this analogy is horse because hoof is commonly associated with a horse's foot.
Dog: Incorrect — dogs have paws, not hooves.
Elephant: Incorrect — elephants have large padded feet, not hooves.
Lamb: Not the intended answer — lambs (young sheep) have cloven hooves as well, but 'horse' is the clearer and more common example for 'hoof' in this analogy.
