sand
brick
pebble
pebble
Since "stone" is a noun that means "small rock," we need to find another noun that also means "small rock." While "mountain" may seem like a good answer because mountains are made of stone, "mountain" doesn't mean the same thing as "stone," so it can't be the correct answer. Since "pebble" is a noun that means "a small stone worn smooth by sand or water," "pebble" is the correct answer.
