A Decline Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Careful Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Deteriorate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Flourish Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

In the given analogy, "Wilt" is related to "Droop." Both terms are synonyms and describe a similar state where something, often a plant, is losing its strength or vigour, generally sagging or falling. To find the analogous relationship for "Thrive," we look for a word that describes a similar state of flourishing or prospering, as "Thrive" means to grow vigorously or to flourish. Options analysis:

  1. Decline - This is the opposite of thriving.
  2. Careful - This doesn't relate directly to growth or health.
  3. Deteriorate - This again suggests a decrease in condition, opposite of thriving.
  4. Flourish - This is synonymous with thriving, indicating vigorous growth or a prosperous condition.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 4. Flourish - It matches "Thrive" as "Droop" matches "Wilt", all indicating similar conditions or states.
