To solve the problem, we need to identify the pattern or rule linking the words in the first and third columns with the numbers in the middle column of the given table. By examining the provided examples:
WOE
1089
MISERY
VANQUISH
1308
SUBDUE
TACITURNITY
1547
SILENCE
SPLEEN
1806
?
Let's break down the pattern by summarizing the first, second, and third cases:
WOE: 1089: MISERY - The word "MISERY" is a synonym for "WOE". Both numbers 1089 and determining a similar process should be followed for each row.
VANQUISH: 1308: SUBDUE - "SUBDUE" is a synonym for "VANQUISH".
TACITURNITY: 1547: SILENCE - The word "SILENCE" shares a synonymous relationship with "TACITURNITY".
Given "SPLEEN: 1806", we need to find the synonym for "SPLEEN". Among the options, the word "DRIP" correlates through definition and logic—it relates to how one can express or manage feelings like SPLEEN, which implies a form of moodiness or melancholic temperament.
Thus, the word to replace the “?” is "DRIP". The correct word reflects associations made from flexible understanding of definitions and logical reasoning to align with the pattern found in the examples.
