Fish : Shoal :: Lion : ____

Select the correct option to complete the analogy.

The correct option is Pride.

To solve this analogy, we need to determine the relationship between the first pair of words and apply the same logic to the second pair:

First, let's analyze the relationship in the first pair: Fish : Shoal.
A group of fish swimming together is commonly referred to as a "shoal" (or a "school"). Therefore, the relationship is individual animal : collective noun for a group of that animal.

Now, we apply this same relationship to the second pair: Lion : ____.
We need to find the collective noun used to describe a group of lions. A group of lions is called a "pride".

Let us look at why the other options are incorrect:
- School: This is a collective noun for fish, not lions.
- Forest: This refers to the habitat where some wild animals live, not a collective noun for a group of lions.
- Series: This refers to a number of events, objects, or items of a similar kind occurring in a spatial or temporal succession, which does not relate to a group of lions.

Thus, the term that correctly completes the analogy is Pride.
