The correct pair of words that completes the analogy is **happiness : sorrow**.
Here's the reasoning:
- "joy" and "bliss" are both positive emotions, where "bliss" can be seen as a heightened or extreme state of "joy".
- Similarly, "happiness" is also a positive emotion, and "sorrow" represents the opposite or a contrasting emotion.
Thus, the relationship between the words in the analogy is that "bliss" represents an extreme positive state related to "joy", just as "sorrow" represents a contrasting negative state related to "happiness".
