Answer 1

The correct answer is: Flock

Key Points

"Flock" is the correct term for a group of birds. (पक्षियों का एक समूह)
- For example: A flock of birds flew across the sky in graceful formation.
The word "herd" is commonly used for a group of cattle or other grazing animals. (मवेशियों या अन्य चरने वाले जानवरों का समूह)
- For example: The shepherd guided the herd of cattle to the pasture.
The comparison in the sentence suggests that the relationship between cattle and herd is similar to the relationship between birds and flock.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Complete sentence: As cattle are to herd so are birds to flock.
