Which term describes a hawk's first free flight?

• A. First free flight
• B. Maiden voyage
• C. Entry flight
• D. Initial takeoff

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is recognizing a standard term for an inaugural journey. Maiden voyage is the best choice because it’s a widely used expression for the first journey or trip, and in falconry it aptly describes a hawk’s first free flight as its initial independent outing. It conveys the milestone nature of that first flight in a natural, commonly understood way. The other terms are less conventional in this context; they tend to be descriptive or awkward to apply to the event as a milestone, whereas maiden voyage cleanly signals the bird’s first significant flight.
