1) Identifying word relationship:
The given pair “Disagree : Protest” suggests a relationship where protest is an act in response to disagreement. We need a similar relationship for “Agree,” where the corresponding action is associated with agreement.
2) Analysis of the options:
(A) Refuse: This is a negative response, but it doesn’t match the context of “agree.”
(B) Pretext: This means a false reason given for an action, which is unrelated to the context of agreement.
(C) Recommend: This is a fitting choice. When one agrees, they often make a recommendation.
(D) Refute: Refuting means disproving or denying something, which does not logically follow from agreeing.
\[
\boxed{\text{The correct answer is (C) Recommend.}}
