Analogy — Supports vs suppresses combustion: Oxygen : Burn :: Carbon dioxide : ? Pick the effect that carbon dioxide has with respect to fire.

Difficulty: Easy

Isolate
Foam
Extinguishes
Explode
None of these

Correct Answer: Extinguishes

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
Oxygen supports burning; carbon dioxide suppresses it. Therefore, “Extinguishes” best mirrors the complementary combustion effect.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Isolate/Foam: Not direct verbs of fire’s fate; foam is a substance, not an effect.
Explode: Opposite implication.
None of these: Invalid since “Extinguishes” is standard in fire safety.

Final Answer:
Extinguishes
