To find the correct answers to these analogies, you need to analyze the relationship between the first pair of words and then find the option that displays a similar relationship.

For the first analogy, SAGE:WISDOM, the relationship is that a sage is someone who possesses wisdom. Therefore, you need to find the pair of words that has a similar relationship. Let's analyze the options:
a. author:anthology - An author is someone who creates an anthology, which is a collection of writings, but this does not represent a relationship of possession or expertise similar to the first pair.
b. speaker:tirade - A speaker is someone who delivers a tirade, which is an angry and prolonged speech. This does not represent a relationship of possession or expertise similarly to the first pair.
c. acrobat:agility - An acrobat is someone who possesses agility, just like a sage possesses wisdom. This option captures the same relationship as the given pair. Therefore, the correct answer is option c.

For the second analogy, SCOLDING:TIRADE, you need to find the pair that displays a similar relationship. Let's analyze the options:
a. sage:wisdom - This pair is the same as the first analogy and does not match the relationship found in the given pair.
b. breeze:gale - A breeze is a mild wind, and a gale is a strong and powerful wind. This represents a progression from mild to strong similar to scolding escalating to a tirade, capturing a similar relationship.
c. guess:conjecture - A guess is an estimate or a hunch, and conjecture is a hypothesis or theory. This does not display a similar relationship to the given pair.
d. crime:punishment - This pair represents a cause and effect relationship, where a crime leads to punishment, which is not the same relationship as the given pair.
Therefore, the correct answer for the second analogy is option b, breeze:gale.
