complete the analogies by selecting a pair of words whose relationship most resembles the relationship of the pair in capitol letters.
BRUSQUE:BRUSQUENESS::
a. simulated:simulation
b. foolish:inanity
c. angry:tirade
**i think its "a" but im not sure
ANARCHY:LAW::
a. tyranny:freedom
b. calamity:misfortune
thanks!!! :)
I agree with "a" for the first set. Can you explain why?
What is your choice for the second set? And why?
for the first one i think it is a because simulation is the state of being simulated just as brusqueness is the state of being brusque.
i really cant think which one number two is... i already narrowed it down to those two answers and they both make sense to me. possibly a again because calamity and misfortune are direct antonyms?
Take a look at the first set for a minute. All four choices have an adjective:noun relationship, and each word pair is in the same sphere of meaning. Your choice of "a" is correct because BOTH words come from the same (exactly the same, to be redundant) word!! That's what sets it apart from the other three.
What are all four choices for the second set?
a.tyranny:freedom
b.calamity:misfortune
c.inkling:suspicion
d.mutiny:ship
and thank you for the help!!! :)

To determine the correct answer for each analogy, we need to identify the relationship between the pair of words in capital letters and find a pair with a similar relationship. Let's analyze each analogy:
1. BRUSQUE:BRUSQUENESS
The relationship here is that the second word represents the quality or state of the first word. Brusque is an adjective describing someone's manner, while brusqueness is the noun form representing the quality of being brusque.
Now let's look at the answer choices:
a. simulated:simulation - The word "simulated" is an adjective, not the noun form of the first word "simulation." This choice does not represent the same relationship as the original pair. Therefore, it's not the best answer.
b. foolish:inanity - The word "inanity" refers to foolishness or stupidity, similar to how "brusqueness" refers to someone being brusque. Thus, this choice represents a similar relationship and a viable answer.
c. angry:tirade - The word "tirade" represents a storm of angry or abusive language, which is not a noun form representing the quality of being angry. Therefore, it's not the best answer.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is b. foolish:inanity.
2. ANARCHY:LAW
The relationship here is that the second word is the opposite or contrasting term to the first word. Anarchy represents the absence of order or chaos, while law represents order and structure.
Let's assess the answer choices:
a. tyranny:freedom - While tyranny represents the opposite of freedom, it doesn't have a similar relationship to anarchy and law. This choice does not represent the same relationship as the original pair.
b. calamity:misfortune - Calamity refers to a disaster or catastrophe, while misfortune represents bad luck or unfortunate events. Again, this choice represents a similar relationship and is a valid answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. calamity:misfortune.
So, the correct answers to the analogies are:
1. BRUSQUE:BRUSQUENESS -> b. foolish:inanity
2. ANARCHY:LAW -> b. calamity:misfortune
