Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: C. Lion
Worked solution
- Dog, cat and pig are domestic animals.
- A lion is wild.
Answer: Lion.
The idea
Domestic versus wild is the intended split. All four are mammals, so that shared property cannot decide it.
Shortcut. Ask which one lives with people: dog, cat and pig are domestic; 'Lion' is the only wild animal.
Common trap. "Cat" — the smallest of the four, and the only one kept indoors; but size and housing are not the grouping. Domestic against wild is, and only the lion is wild.
