The analogy "laugh : amused :: __________ : __________" can be filled in with the word set that maintains the same relationship between the two pairs. "Laugh" is an expression of being "amused." Therefore, we need to identify an expression and its corresponding emotional state from the given options.
Let's evaluate each option:
1. "frown : unhappy" - A "frown" is an expression of being "unhappy." This maintains the same relationship as the original pair.
2. "smile : fearful" - A "smile" is not an expression of being "fearful."
3. "grin : ashamed" - A "grin" is not an expression of being "ashamed."
4. "scowl : gleeful" - A "scowl" is not an expression of being "gleeful."
Therefore, the correct word set that completes the analogy is:
laugh : amused :: frown : unhappy
Which word set completes the following analogy?
laugh : amused :: __________:_________
frown : unhappy
smile : fearful
grin : ashamed
