To find the analogy that fits the given criteria, we need to identify a word that is related to "thorns" in the same way that "glue" is related to "sticks" in the original analogy. The original analogy compares the relationship between "glue" and "sticks", suggesting that glue is something that is used to attach or bind sticks together.
Similarly, we need to find a word that starts with "scr", "spr", "str", or "thr" and is something that is used to attach or connect with "thorns" in some way. Let's analyze each option:
1. Scr: There are no common words beginning with "scr" that fit the analogy.
2. Spr: Again, there are no words starting with "spr" that have a clear relationship with thorns in the context of attachment or connection.
3. Str: The word "strings" could potentially fit the analogy. Strings can be used to tie or connect thorny branches or objects together.
4. Thr: The word "thread" is a strong option for this analogy. Just as glue is used to connect sticks, thread is commonly used to sew or connect thorny materials (e.g., fabric) together.
Thus, the most suitable analogy from the options given is "thread:thorns".
