A stratagem is a plan or scheme designed to deceive someone, so the relationship is that of a means to achieve an effect. Similarly, a concession is something given to placate or appease someone, showing a cause-effect or means-purpose relationship. The other options do not show a clear or logical relationship between the pairs.

The analogy 'FERTILIZE : GROW' represents a cause and effect relationship where fertilizing causes growth in plants. Similarly, 'immunize : resist' shows that immunizing causes resistance to disease in a person. This matches the cause-effect pattern of the analogy. Other options do not fit this cause-effect relationship as clearly: 'nourish : enrich' is more about improvement than direct cause of growth, 'heat : burn' is not always a direct cause-effect (heat may or may not cause burning), and 'graft : multiply' is not a direct cause-effect relationship. Therefore, option A is the best fit.

The analogy compares an animal to a characteristic commonly associated with it. A fox is known for being cunning, and similarly, an ant is known for being industrious, making option D the correct analogy.

The term 'speed limit' refers to the maximum legal speed allowed on a road. Among the options, 'maximum' correctly fits the blank as it means the greatest amount or highest limit, which aligns with the definition of speed limit.

The correct form is 'had finished' because the action of finishing smoking happened before they let the cigarette fall. This past perfect tense shows the sequence of events clearly.

A 'neophyte' is someone who is inexperienced or new, so the relationship is that the first word is a person characterized by the second word. Similarly, a 'misanthrope' is characterized by 'cynicism'. The other options do not show this direct characteristic relationship.
