• B. avert
• C. disagree
• D. enforce
• E. encourage

Hint:

When solving analogy problems, look for synonyms or words with closely related meanings to match the given pair.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

The relationship between "enchant" and "captivate" is that these two words are synonyms. So, we are looking for a word that is a synonym of "urge." Step 1: Analyzing the options. - (A) "confuse" is not a synonym of "urge," so it doesn’t fit the analogy. - (B) "avert" means to prevent or avoid, and is not a synonym of "urge." - (C) "disagree" is not a synonym of "urge," as it refers to differing opinions. - (D) "enforce" means to compel obedience, which is not synonymous with "urge." - (E) "encourage" is a synonym of "urge" because both mean to prompt or stimulate action. Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct analogy is \( \boxed{(E)} \), where "urge" is to "encourage" as "enchant" is to "captivate."
