1. subjugate is to control
2. eat is to drink
3. Purloin is to steal
4. set free is to confine
ANSWER: 4
Yes
To find the correct analogy in this question, we need to identify the relationship between the words "exonerate" and "condemn" and then look for a similar relationship among the answer choices.
"Exonerate" means to clear someone of blame or guilt, while "condemn" means to express strong disapproval or harsh judgment. The relationship between these two words is that they are opposites or antonyms.
Now, let's examine the answer choices:
1. "Subjugate" means to bring someone or something under control or domination. Although it involves control, it does not share the same relationship as "exonerate" and "condemn" do. Therefore, it is not the correct choice.
2. "Eat" and "drink" are both actions related to consuming food or liquid. They do not share the same relationship as "exonerate" and "condemn" do. Therefore, it is not the correct choice.
3. "Purloin" means to steal or take someone else's property dishonestly. It shares a similar relationship with "steal" as "exonerate" and "condemn" do. However, it is not the correct answer because "exonerate" and "condemn" are opposites, whereas "purloin" and "steal" are synonyms.
4. "Set free" and "confine" are opposite actions. The words "exonerate" and "condemn" also share a similar relationship of being opposites. Therefore, the correct analogy is "exonerate is to condemn as set free is to confine."
So, the correct answer is 4.
