Step 1: Understand the analogy.
The relationship is “word → related action.”
- Disagree → leads to a Protest (an outward expression of disagreement).
Step 2: Apply the same relation to the second pair.
- Agree → should lead to an outward expression of agreement.
Step 3: Evaluate each option.
(A) Refuse → linked to rejecting, not agreement.
(B) Pretext → means a false reason, unrelated.
(C) Recommend → a positive act, typically done when one agrees.
(D) Refute → means to prove false, associated with disagreement.
Step 4: Select correct word.
Thus, “Agree : Recommend” matches the pattern.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Recommend}}
\]
