Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
CONCEPT: In word analogies, identify the exact relationship in the first pair before looking at the options. A frequent pattern is class to example: a broad category is paired with one member or expression of that category.
The second pair must preserve that same relationship, not merely share a loose association with the word.
APPLICATION: RUN is an action that belongs to the broader idea of MOTION. In the same way, FEELING is a mental experience that belongs to the broader idea of EMOTION.
FURIOUS is only one intense emotional state and does not keep the broad class-to-expression match.
HEART is a body organ associated with emotions, so it changes the relationship to an object association.
ENJOY is an action related to pleasure, so it changes the relationship to doing something rather than naming the matching mental experience.
CROSS-CHECK: The sentence running is a motion; feeling is an emotion preserves the same category-to-instance logic, so FEELING fits the analogy.
