The analogy compares an emotion to its typical cause or trigger. Fear is caused by a threat, so anger is caused by provocation. Psychological and legal research supports that anger is typically triggered by provocation or insult, while fear is triggered by threat or danger. Among the options, 'Provocation' is the most accurate and direct cause of anger, making C the best answer. 'Force' can provoke anger but is less precise than 'Provocation' in this analogy context.

The word 'demur' means to hesitate or show reluctance. Its antonym is 'accept,' which means to agree or consent without hesitation. Therefore, 'accept' is the correct opposite of 'demur.'

The word 'bellicose' means demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight, so 'hostile' is the correct synonym among the options provided.

The word 'Awfy' is a Scots dialect term meaning 'awful' or 'terrible'. Therefore, the synonym is 'Terrible'.

The passive form of the question "Why did you disobey your parents?" is correctly formed as "Why were your parents disobeyed by you?" This is because in passive voice, the object of the active sentence ("your parents") becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb "disobey" is changed to its past participle form "disobeyed" and is preceded by the auxiliary verb "were" to match the past tense. The question structure is maintained with "Why" at the beginning. The other options contain grammatical errors such as incorrect verb forms (e.g., "was" instead of "were") or incorrect word order.

The word 'succinct' means expressed in few words, clear and concise. Therefore, 'Concise' is the correct synonym. The other options have opposite or unrelated meanings.

The analogy compares the process to the resulting state: 'Melt' results in 'Liquid', so 'Freeze' results in 'Solid'. Therefore, 'Solid' is the correct answer.

The sentence contrasts a past habitual action with a current situation. 'Rarely comes' (simple present) correctly expresses that he does not visit often now. 'Is rarely coming' is incorrect because 'rarely' does not typically combine with the present continuous. 'Has rarely come' (present perfect) is less appropriate here as the question implies a current habitual state.

The phrase "Once in a Blue Moon" is an idiom that means something happens very rarely or infrequently. Therefore, option B, "Rarely," is the correct meaning.

The word 'liaison' means a connection or association between groups or people, so 'Association' is the correct synonym. The other options do not share this meaning.
