A
Sports
B
Soils
C
Snooker
D

Explanation and memory cue

The term "chucker" in sports primarily refers to a cricket bowler who is accused of throwing the ball illegally or a baseball pitcher who throws fastballs. The term "chukker" (or "chukka") refers to a period of play in polo, lasting about 7 minutes, during which players use mallets.

Detect analogy: Species : Genera :: Family : ?

A
These are biological terms.
B
These give information about living things for classification.
C
These are traits of animal kingdom.
D
These are groups of animals.
Explanation and memory cue

In biological classification, species are grouped into genera (plural of genus), and genera are further grouped into families. The analogy Species : Genera :: Family : ? is asking for the next hierarchical level after Family, which is Order. However, since the options do not provide taxonomic ranks but descriptive statements, the best fitting answer is that these terms represent groups of animals (or organisms). Species, genera, and family are hierarchical groups used in biological taxonomy to classify living organisms. Therefore, the option 'These are groups of animals.' best fits the analogy contextually.
