Analogies (Related Pair of Words)

medium
English

Love : Adoration :: Infatuation : ?

Correct answer: D

A
Smile : Frown : Anger
B
Hates : Dislike : Attract
C
Murder : Stab : Assassinate
D
None of these
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy compares types or degrees of feelings: Love is related to Adoration as Infatuation is related to a similar but distinct emotional state. Love and Adoration are deeply connected feelings, with Adoration being a form of deep love. Infatuation, however, is a more superficial, intense, and often short-lived passion or attraction, not directly analogous to Smile : Frown : Anger or the other options given. The options A, B, and C do not form a clear or correct analogy with the original pair. Therefore, the best answer is D (None of these) as none of the options correctly complete the analogy.
