Explanation:
To find the pair of words that best expresses a similar relationship to the capitalized pair, we need to analyze the relationship between the words "HYMN" and "PRAISE".
A hymn is a religious song or poem of praise, typically sung during religious ceremonies or as part of worship. In this context, a hymn is a form of expression or communication of praise to a higher power.
Now let's analyze the given options:
a) Waltz : Joy
- A waltz is a type of dance, while joy is an emotion. The relationship between these two words is not similar to the relationship between "HYMN" and "PRAISE". Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
b) Liturgy : Rite
- A liturgy refers to a form or order of religious worship or ritual, while a rite refers to a religious or solemn ceremony. Both words in this pair are related to religious ceremonies or rituals. This relationship is similar to the relationship between "HYMN" and "PRAISE" as both pairs are related to religious practices. Therefore, this option is a potential answer.
c) Lullaby : Child
- A lullaby is a soothing song sung to put a child to sleep. While both words in this pair are related to songs, they do not have a similar relationship to "HYMN" and "PRAISE". This option can also be eliminated.
d) Dirge : Grief
- A dirge is a somber song or poem associated with mourning or funeral rites, while grief refers to intense sorrow or sadness. Both words in this pair are related to expressing sadness or mourning. This relationship is not similar to the relationship between "HYMN" and "PRAISE". Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
Based on the analysis, the pair of words that best expresses a similar relationship to "HYMN" and "PRAISE" is Liturgy : Rite (option b).
