Question

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
A rider can control his horse by pulling at its ______.

• A. chains
• B. ropes
• C. reins
• D. hair

Answer 1

The correct option is C reins

The word, "reins" refers to a long thin piece of leather, which is attached to the bridle (or headgear) of an animal like a horse. It is used by a rider/ driver by pulling/ exerting pressure to control the movement of the horse. Hence, option C is correct.

Options A and B are incorrect as "chains" and "ropes" are not used by riders to control horses.

Option D is incorrect as the "hair" of a horse cannot be pulled by a rider to control it.
