Complete the analogies by selecting the pair of words who's relationship most resembles the relationship of the pair in capital letters.
SCOLD:CHASTISE::
a. echo: reverberate
b. depart: embark
c. praise: lionize
d. increase: augment
(I think it is either a or d)
FOREBODING: MEMORY::
a. claustrophobia: space
b. inkling: suspicion
c. future: past
d. imagination: reality
( I do not think it is c or d but I am completely unsure what the answer is!)
To complete the analogies, we need to determine the relationship between the pairs of words in capital letters and find the pair that has a similar relationship.
SCOLD:CHASTISE means that SCOLD is a more severe form of CHASTISE, indicating that the correct answer must also have a relationship where one word is a more intense or severe form of the other.
Looking at the options:
a. echo: reverberate - This pair does not have a relationship of one being a more severe form of the other, so it is not the correct answer.
b. depart: embark - This pair does not have a relationship of one being a more severe form of the other, so it is not the correct answer.
c. praise: lionize - This pair does not have a relationship of one being a more severe form of the other, so it is not the correct answer.
d. increase: augment - This pair does have a relationship of one being a more intense or severe form of the other, as augment means to increase something, but in a more significant or intense manner. Therefore, the correct answer is d. increase: augment.
Now, let's move to the second analogy:
FOREBODING: MEMORY means that FOREBODING is a type or category of MEMORY, indicating that the correct answer should have a relationship where one word is a specific type or category of the other.
Looking at the options:
a. claustrophobia: space - This pair does not have a relationship of one being a specific type or category of the other, so it is not the correct answer.
b. inkling: suspicion - This pair does not have a relationship of one being a specific type or category of the other, so it is not the correct answer.
c. future: past - This pair does not have a relationship of one being a specific type or category of the other, so it is not the correct answer.
d. imagination: reality - This pair does have a relationship of one being a specific type or category of the other, as imagination is a specific type or category of reality. Therefore, the correct answer is d. imagination: reality.
So, the answers are:
SCOLD:CHASTISE - d. increase: augment
FOREBODING: MEMORY - d. imagination: reality
