Select the option in which the words share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of words.
shrug : indifference :: ?
To solve this analogy, we need to understand the relationship between "shrug" and "indifference."
A shrug is a gesture that typically expresses indifference.
We need to find a pair where the first word is a gesture that typically expresses the second word.
Let's analyze the options:
A wave : fatigue - A wave is a gesture that does not typically express fatigue.
BÂ blink : scorn - A blink is an involuntary action, not a gesture expressing scorn.
CÂ scowl : desire - A scowl is a facial expression that typically expresses anger or displeasure, not desire.
DÂ nod : assent - A nod is a gesture that typically expresses assent (agreement or approval).
Hence, only the relationship in option D matches the relationship in the given pair: a gesture expressing a specific feeling or state.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.Â
