If '\(\to\)' denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [drizzle \(\to\) rain \(\to\) downpour] is analogous to [ ______ \(\to\) quarrel \(\to\) feud].
Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Answer: A
The word is bicker.
The first sequence rises in intensity: drizzle is light rain, and a downpour is heavy rain. The second must do the same for disagreements: to bicker is to argue over petty things, a quarrel is a more serious angry argument, and a feud is a long and bitter hostility.
A bog is wet ground, to dither is to hesitate, and to dodge is to avoid something; none is a milder form of a quarrel.
