How to approach this test
Collective Nouns: Learn these in pairs (a pride of lions, a school of fish) and revise them regularly; each is a fixed expression that cannot be worked out by logic.
Animals and Their Young Ones: Group the young-ones by pattern (calf, cub, foal, kid) and note which names are shared by several animals.
This set leans easy, so use it to confirm that you can solve the basic pattern accurately before you move to harder sets. At 15 questions in 15 minutes, you have about 60 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
