Related Pair Of Words/Analogy

English

Fear : Threat :: Anger : ________?

A
Compulsion
B
Panic
C
Provocation
D
Force
Explanation and memory cue

The analogy compares an emotion to its cause or trigger. Fear is caused by a threat, so anger is caused by provocation. Provocation is the direct stimulus or cause that triggers anger, making it the best fit for the analogy. 'Force' is less directly related to the cause of anger and more associated with physical power or coercion, which is not the primary trigger of anger in the analogy context. Therefore, 'Provocation' is the correct answer.

Fill In The Blanks

easy
English

The research study is an eye-opener and _____ us with the problems of poor nations.

A
Attempted to acquaint
B
Attempting to acquaint
C
Attempts at acquainting
D
Attempt to acquaint
Explanation and memory cue

The sentence "The research study is an eye-opener and _____ us with the problems of poor nations" requires a verb form that agrees with the present tense verb "is" and fits grammatically. The phrase should be "attempts to acquaint" or a similar present tense form. Option A "Attempted to acquaint" is past tense and does not agree with "is." Option B "Attempting to acquaint" is a present participle and does not fit well here. Option C "Attempts at acquainting" is closest to a correct present tense form, though "attempts to acquaint" would be better. Option D "Attempt to acquaint" is an infinitive and does not fit grammatically. Therefore, the best choice is C. The original answer A is incorrect because it does not agree in tense with "is." This is confirmed by standard English grammar rules and usage examples.
