In the following question, two lists of words are provided. You are required to match the associations between List I and List II.
Match List I with List II:
List I (Animal) List II (Grouping)
A. Fish 1. Colony of
B. Ducks 2. Flock of
C. Ants 3. Paddling of
D. Crows 4. School of
Code:
A B C D

Correct option is B

To find the correct associations between the animals listed in List I and their collective group names in List II, let's correctly match each animal with the traditional term for its group:
List I (Animal) - List II (Grouping):
· A. Fish - Fish are collectively known as a "School of Fish." Thus, Fish (A) is correctly matched with "School of" (4).
· B. Ducks - A group of ducks, particularly when on water, is often called a "Paddling of Ducks." Therefore, Ducks (B) is associated with "Paddling of" (3).
· C. Ants - Ants are known for forming large groups called "Colonies." Hence, Ants (C) match with "Colony of" (1).
· D. Crows - A group of crows is famously referred to as a "Murder of Crows," but since "Murder" isn't an option and they're also known less commonly to gather in flocks, Crows (D) can be considered a "Flock of" (2) for the purpose of this matching.
Given these associations, the correct matches for each animal to their respective groupings are:
· A -> 4
· B -> 3
· C -> 1
· D -> 2
Thus, the correct option that matches all these associations is:
· (b) 4 3 1 2
This choice properly aligns each animal with the traditional or common group name, reflecting standard terminology used in animal groupings.
