Seal is to fish as bird is to:

wing
minnow
worm
snail

The correct answer is: worm

The analogy presented in the question illustrates a relationship based on feeding habits. A seal primarily eats fish, just as a bird typically consumes worms. This relationship is centered around dietary preferences. In this analogy, the connection is made through the specific kinds of prey that each animal consumes, with the seal eating fish being reflective of the bird eating worms. The other options do not maintain the same relationship; for instance, a seal does not eat minnows as a primary food source, wings do not represent a food item, and snails are not characteristic prey for birds. Therefore, worms align closely with the dietary habits of birds, making it the best choice for completing the analogy correctly.
