Nostalgia is to anticipation as __________ is to __________
Which one of the following options maintains a similar logical relation in the above sentence?
Analogy Reasoning: Nostalgia to Anticipation
The question presents an analogy and asks to identify the option that maintains a similar logical relationship.
The initial pair is "Nostalgia is to anticipation".
- Nostalgia refers to a sentimental longing for the past.
- Anticipation refers to excitement or eagerness about the future.
The relationship is therefore based on time orientation: looking back versus looking forward. The structure is: Past related sentiment -> Future related sentiment.
Analyzing Options for Past to Future Relation
We need to find an option that follows the same pattern of Past -> Future.
- Option 1: Present, past (Incorrect: Does not match Past -> Future)
- Option 2: Future, past (Incorrect: Order is reversed)
- Option 3: Past, future (Correct: Matches the Past -> Future pattern)
- Option 4: Future, present (Incorrect: Does not match Past -> Future)
The pair "Past, future" mirrors the relationship between Nostalgia (past-focused) and Anticipation (future-focused).
Conclusion: Option 3 correctly completes the analogy.
