English Grammar - Animal Sounds and Young Ones
Match the following :
Column-I : (a) Ass, (b) Duck, (c) Fly, (d) Bee
Column-II : (i) quack, (ii) hum, (iii) bray, (iv) buzz
Options:
- a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
- a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
- a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
- a-iii, b-ii, c-iv, d-i
Right Answer: a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
Every animal has its own characteristic sound, and these verbs are frequently asked in vocabulary questions. An ass or donkey brays, so (a) matches with (iii). A duck quacks, so (b) matches with (i). A fly buzzes, so (c) matches with (iv). A bee hums, so (d) matches with (ii). This gives the combination a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii, which is option (3). Other useful examples are — lions roar, dogs bark, cats mew, horses neigh, cows low, sheep bleat, frogs croak and owls hoot.
