Correct Answer:
B. Fever: Flushed
The analogy presented is a cause-and-effect relationship where the first word describes a condition, and the second word describes a resulting state or symptom. Thirst is a condition that causes one to become parched, meaning extremely dry. Similarly, fever is a condition that causes a person to become flushed, characterized by a red and hot face.
- Option B (Fever: Flushed) accurately reflects this relationship.
- Option A (Laughter: Appeased) is incorrect because laughter does not cause appeasement; appeasement is often a state of being satisfied or calmed.
- Option C (Water: Sink) presents two unrelated nouns; water is a substance, and a sink is a fixture.
- Option D (Hunger: Strangled) is incorrect as hunger does not cause strangulation; strangulation means to choke.
