Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the analogy question, we need to identify the relationship between "Emotional" and "Arousal" and then apply the same relationship to the word "Calm" to find the suitable pair from the given options.

1. The word "Emotional" is often associated with heightened or intense feelings, and one of its direct implications is "Arousal", which refers to the state of being awake, reactive, or stimulated emotionally.
2. The task is to find a word related to "Calm" that matches the type of relationship between "Emotional" and "Arousal".
3. From the options:
   • Humility: While humility reflects a modest view of one's importance, it does not directly relate to "Calm".
   • Mildness: This suggests gentleness or softness, but it doesn't specifically encapsulate the essence of being calm.
   • Kindness: This indicates the quality of being friendly, which is not a direct result of calmness.
   • Tranquility: This perfectly matches the essence of "Calm", representing peace and quietness, together an ideal representation of what being calm leads to.
   • Gentleness: Though related to calmness indirectly, it still falls short of epitomizing calm as comprehensively as "Tranquility" does.
4. Hence, the most fitting word that relates to "Calm" in the same manner as "Arousal" to "Emotional" is "Tranquility".

Thus, the correct answer is Tranquility, as it captures the resultant state or the essence of being calm.
