To satisfy is to remove hunger (verb → its object/target). Which option mirrors this relation most precisely?

Introduction / Context:
The structure is “verb → object upon which the verb acts”. “Satisfy → hunger” means the verb neutralizes the state. A tight parallel is “quell → rebellion”: to quell is to suppress a rebellion. The grammatical direction and semantic function align closely.

Given Data / Assumptions:
We favor pairs where the first word is a transitive verb acting on the second as its canonical object.

Concept / Approach:
Check direction and roles. “Thirst : quench” reverses order (object → verb). “Frantic : composed” and “cheerful : euphoric” are adjective pairs, not verb–object. “Cure : patient” is close but imprecise: we cure a disease/illness in a patient; the direct object is typically the ailment, not the person, so it is less parallel than “quell : rebellion”.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Dictionaries show “quell” taking objects like “rebellion/unrest/riot”, matching the neutralization function of “satisfy hunger”.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They reverse order, switch parts of speech, or use a less accurate object.

Common Pitfalls:
Choosing attractive but inverted pairs such as “Thirst : Quench”.

Final Answer:
Quell : Rebellion
