Analogy — Emotion toward person: Love : Friend :: Hate : ? Select the term that stands to “Hate” as “Friend” stands to “Love” (typical target of the emotion).

Introduction / Context:The first pair signals “emotion → typical counterpart/target.” One commonly loves a friend; by parallel structure, one hates an enemy. The task is to preserve the semantic role of the object receiving the emotion.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Love → Friend (object of affection).
• Hate → ? (object of aversion).
• Options include abstract nouns and person roles.

Concept / Approach:Maintain “Emotion : typical person-role target.” Do not switch to an abstract noun (“Hatred”) because the first pair uses a person-role (“Friend”).

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:In standard analogy lists, “Love : Friend :: Hate : Enemy” is canonical.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Hatred: Abstract noun; breaks symmetry.
• Brother/Companion: Not necessarily the typical counterpart of “Hate”.
• None of these: Invalid because “Enemy” fits.

Common Pitfalls:Picking “Hatred” due to lexical similarity with “Hate,” losing the person-role alignment.

Final Answer:Enemy
