“Sugar” is a noun that means “a sweet crystalline substance.” So, because sugar tastes sweet, we need to pick out an answer choice that is a noun representing a food that tastes spicy. While all of the potential answer choices are foods, only “jalapeño” (“a very hot green chili pepper”) is a food that tastes spicy. So, because jalapeños are spicy just as sugar is sweet, “jalapeño” is the correct answer.

一个philanthropist issomeone who is charitableso the relationship can be established as the following: Charitable behavior is something that would be expected of a philanthropist so what kind of behavior is likely to be expected of a priest?

While “protective” and “offensive” might each look like a potentially correct answer choice, “protective” means “capable of or intended to protect,” and does not describe a sword, so “protective” cannot be the correct answer. “Offensive,” however, is an adjective that can mean “meant for use in attack” when being used of a weapon, and because “offensive” aptly describes a sword just as “defensive” aptly describes a shield, “offensive” is the correct answer.

The word "volatile" can be descriptive of a volcano's level of activity. Therefore, the correct answer will be able to describe a lake's level of activity. While the words "large" and "opaque" describe a lake's physical characteristics, they do not describe its level of activity.

The best choice is "Santa is to jolly." The relationship between "cheetah" and "fast" is that speed is a characteristic that is commonly associated with cheetahs. There are two choices that share this relationship: "Santa is to jolly" and "huge is to elephant." "Santa is to jolly" is the correct choice because the order of the question isnoun tocharacteristic．"Huge is to elephant" is in the incorrect order.

一个n oration is a speech, often one given at a ceremony. It comes both from the Latin forto prayas well as more distantly from the word formouth．(想想这样的词“口头”和“崇拜”)。因此,an oration is a type of spoken communication.

For instance, a transcript of a television show is the written version made for people to read after the show has aired.

一个pedant is a person who shows a great deal of learning to the point of being tedious and boring—going through every detail almost in a ridiculous fashion. Thus, “tedious” is an adequate description for a pedant. Someone who “transgresses” goes beyond the boundaries of the law. The “trans-” prefix meansacross(as in “transfer,” meaning,to carry across), and the “-gress” comes from the Latin forto step．It is related to many words like “grade,” “gradual,” “progress,” and “digress.” The options “judged” and “sentenced” might apply to a transgressor after a court case that acknowledges the guilt. In any case, a transgressor in general can be said to be guilty even before this is acknowledged in a court. This is the best description among those provided.
