Dance : Jump
Wail : Weep
Ripe : Eat
Write : Read

The correct answer is: A. Dance : Jump

Abomination is a feeling of extreme disgust or hatred. Abhorrence is a feeling of intense dislike or hatred.

Dance is an activity involving rhythmic body movements usually accompanied by music. Jump is to move suddenly upwards by pushing off the ground with one’s feet.

Both abomination and abhorrence are negative emotions, while dance and jump are physical activities. Additionally, abomination is a more intense emotion than abhorrence, just as dance is a more active activity than jump.

The other options do not have the same relationship as the original pair of words.

Wail and weep are both words that describe crying, but they do not have the same level of intensity. Wail is a more intense form of crying, while weep is a more moderate form of crying.
