The correct answer is: A. Remark : Colon
A question is a sentence that asks for information. A question mark is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate the end of a question. A remark is a comment or observation that is made in passing. A colon is a punctuation mark that is used to introduce a list, an explanation, or a quotation.
In the original pair of words, “question” and “question mark,” the question mark is used to indicate the end of a question. In the lettered pair of words, “remark” and “colon,” the colon is used to introduce a remark. Therefore, the two pairs of words have the same relationship.
The other lettered pairs of words do not have the same relationship as the original pair of words. In the pair “aside” and “parentheses,” the parentheses are used to enclose an aside, which is a comment or observation that is made in passing. In the pair “sentence” and “period,” the period is used to indicate the end of a sentence. In the pair “clause” and “semicolon,” the semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related.
