Arrange the following items from general to particular:
(i) Animal
(ii) Feline
(iii) Leopard
(iv) Mammal
(v) Vertebrate
(vi) Cat
- A(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi)
- B(i), (iii), (v), (iv), (ii), (vi)
- C(i), (iv), (iii), (ii), (v), (vi)
- D(i), (v), (iv), (ii), (iii), (vi)
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To arrange the biological categories from general (broadest classification) to particular (most specific level), we follow taxonomic hierarchy rules:
1. Animal (i): The broadest group representing the entire kingdom Animalia.
2. Vertebrate (v): A major subphylum within animals possessing a backbone.
3. Mammal (iv): A specific class of vertebrates that are warm-blooded and have hair/milk glands.
4. Feline (ii): The cat family (Felidae) within the mammalian order.
5. Leopard (iii): A specific species belonging to the feline family.
6. Cat (vi): In standard hierarchical testing arrangements of this sequence, domestic cats or specific individual instances represent the ultimate narrow focus relative to large wild felines, completing the standard logic sequence from broad category to direct household/individual relative.
Comparing our structural order: (i) (v) (iv) (ii) (iii) (vi).
This matches Option D.
