Analogy — Pick the best antonymic parallel: Love : Hate

Introduction / Context:
The stem is a classic antonym pair: “love” vs “hate.” We must select another clear-cut antonym pair from the options.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Antonymy requires direct opposites in meaning.

Concept / Approach:
Eliminate non-opposites; select the pair with direct semantic opposition.

Step-by-Step Solution:
(a) Go : Do → different verbs; not opposites.(b) Near : Where → adjective/adverb vs interrogative; no opposition.(c) Up : Down → directional opposites; matches the stem’s relation.(d) Come : Soon → verb vs adverb; not antonyms.

Verification / Alternative check:
“Up–down” is universally recognized as opposites like “love–hate.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are unrelated or mismatched parts of speech without opposite meanings.

Common Pitfalls:
Getting distracted by superficial rhyme or common collocations (e.g., “come soon”) that do not reflect antonymy.

Final Answer:
Up : Down
