Discussion
Courage : Bravery :: Yearning : __________
Select the most appropriate option to complete the analogy.
Answer: A
The answer is Longing.
Courage and bravery are synonyms: both name the quality of facing danger without fear. The analogy therefore asks for a synonym of yearning, a strong, persistent desire for something, and longing means exactly that.
The distractors play on sound rather than meaning. 'Yelling' (shouting) and 'yawning' share the opening letters of yearning but have nothing to do with desire, and 'glaring' means staring angrily or shining harshly. None of them stands to yearning as bravery stands to courage.
