  • A. Hare : Animal
  • B. Ant : Elephant
  • C. Bush : Forest
  • D. Grass : Tree

Explanation: A hillock is a small or low hill, and a bush can be viewed as a smaller counterpart of a forest in this size-based analogy. The remaining pairs do not show a small-to-large version of the same kind of thing as clearly.

Correct answer: Bush : Forest

397. Choose analogous pair: Fish : Aquarium

  • A. Teacher : Hostel
