(A) rancid: rational
(B) nettlesome: annoying
(C) repentant: honourable
(D) ephemeral: Immortal
The best analogy here is:
(B) nettlesome: annoying
Here’s why:
- Feral and tame are antonyms. Feral describes an animal that is wild and not domesticated, while tame describes an animal that is domesticated and accustomed to human interaction.
- Nettlesome and annoying are also antonyms. Nettlesome means causing irritation or annoyance, while annoying is the state of being bothersome.
Both pairs of words represent opposing qualities.
