11 answers

The best word to complete the analogy is "rejoice" is to "lament" as "endure" is to "hesitate," "persevere," "tolerate," and "persist" are all positive or neutral actions in contrast to "lament," which is a negative expression.

Since "endure" implies suffering or bearing something difficult, the closest analogy would be "tolerate," as it also relates to putting up with something unpleasant rather than taking action toward something more positive or engaging.

So, the best choice here is "tolerate."

I apologize for any confusion in my response! Upon careful reconsideration of the analogy:

“Lament” is the opposite of “rejoice,” which indicates feelings of sadness versus joy. Similarly, “endure” implies facing hardship, and we would look for a term that contrasts with that notion.

In that context, the best completion would actually be "persevere," as it implies continuing to push through challenges or difficulties rather than merely enduring them.

WRONG

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Let's analyze the analogy again carefully.

The relationship we have is:

  • "Lament" is to "rejoice" as "endure" is to what?

"Lament" and "rejoice" are opposites, just as "endure" and the correct word should also represent an opposite or contrasting action.

Among the options—hesitate, persevere, tolerate, and persist—none are direct opposites of "endure." However, "hesitate" could represent indecision or reluctance that contrasts with the commitment implied in "endure."

So, the more fitting comparison would be:

“Lament” is to “rejoice” as “endure” is to “hesitate.”

_______
indifference
wonder
disbelief
shock

To complete the analogy or fill in the blank appropriately, we need to understand the relationship between the words that may follow.

Given the options:

  • indifference
  • wonder
  • disbelief
  • shock

The words can signify different emotional responses. "Indifference" suggests no emotional engagement, while "wonder," "disbelief," and "shock" indicate varying degrees of emotional response, typically to surprising or significant events.

If the blank is intended to complement the list and relate to "indifference" in terms of emotional engagement, the most fitting word is "wonder." This is because "wonder" and "indifference" can be seen as opposite ends of the emotional engagement spectrum—wonder signifies a deep emotional response, while indifference signifies a lack of concern or interest.

So, the completed analogy with the chosen word would be:

"Wonder" is an emotional response opposite to "indifference."

Complete the sentence with the word that best completes the analogy.
“Alert”
is
to
“sluggish”
as
“amazement”
is
to _______
indifference
wonder
disbelief
shock

To complete the analogy:

“Alert” is to “sluggish” as “amazement” is to _______.

In this analogy, "alert" and "sluggish" are opposites (being alert means being awake and responsive, while sluggish means slow and lethargic).

Now looking at the options for "amazement":

  • Indifference indicates a lack of interest or concern, which is opposite to amazement.
  • Wonder is a positive feeling but not exactly opposite.
  • Disbelief suggests a reaction to unexpected events, but not directly opposite.
  • Shock also refers to a strong emotional response but is not an opposite.

Given that "indifference" represents a lack of emotional response, it serves as the opposite of "amazement."

So, the best word to complete the analogy is:

Indifference.

The complete analogy would read: “Alert” is to “sluggish” as “amazement” is to “indifference.”
