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.
