Analogy: Smoke is to Pollution as War is to ____. Identify the typical negative outcome/effect that parallels the first pair.

Introduction / Context:
Here the relation is cause → adverse effect. Smoke contributes to pollution. We must pair war with its typical adverse effect.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Smoke → pollution (environmental harm).
• War → ? (societal/physical harm).
• Focus on negative effect, not a neutral outcome.

Concept / Approach:
War commonly results in loss of life, damage to infrastructure, and devastation—summarized as “destruction.” “Peace,” “victory,” and “treaty” are outcomes or states but do not express the adverse effect analogous to pollution.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Establish pattern: harmful contributor → harm.Apply: war → destruction.

Verification / Alternative check:
Substitute back into pattern: “As smoke produces pollution, war produces destruction.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Peace: opposite concept. Victory/treaty: possible outcomes but not the adverse effect.

Common Pitfalls:
Choosing “victory” by focusing on winners; the analogy targets harm.

Final Answer:
Destruction.
