The given question presents a word pair analogy, where the first pair of words (Lamb : Frisk) is related in a certain way, and we need to find the second pair of words that exhibit the same relationship.
The word "frisk" means to playfully skip or leap around in a lively and energetic manner. Now, let's examine the relationship between the words "lamb" and "frisk". A lamb is a young sheep known for its playful and energetic behavior. Therefore, we can infer that the word "frisk" describes the playful behavior of a lamb.
Using this same logic, we can look at the given options to find the word pair that exhibits a similar relationship:
A. Deer : Swoop - There is no clear relationship between deer and swoop. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
B. Cat : Steal - A cat is known for its stealthy and sneaky behavior, which is often associated with stealing. Therefore, this option seems to exhibit a similar relationship to "lamb : frisk".
C. Bear : Leap - While a bear can certainly leap, there is no clear relationship between bears and leaping that is analogous to the relationship between lambs and frisking. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
D. Lion : Stride - Lions are known for their powerful strides, but there is no clear relationship between lions and striding that is analogous to the relationship between lambs and frisking. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
E. None of these - We have already determined that option B seems to be the correct answer, so this option can be eliminated.
Therefore, the correct answer to the given question is option B: Cat : Steal.
To summarize, word analogies require us to identify the relationship between the given word pair and find a second word pair that exhibits a similar relationship. In this case, the playful behavior of a lamb is analogous to the sneaky behavior of a cat, making option B the correct answer.
