Question

1. repulsive: grotesque :: deserving scorn: despicable racial lethargic

Explanation:

To solve this analogy, we first analyze the relationship between "repulsive" and "grotesque". "Repulsive" means causing repulsion or disgust, and "grotesque" also has a sense of being distorted or unpleasant, often evoking a repulsive feeling—they are synonyms. Now we need to find a synonym for "deserving scorn".

• "Despicable" means deserving contempt or scorn, so it matches the meaning of "deserving scorn".
• "Racial" relates to race and has no connection to deserving scorn.
• "Lethargic" means sluggish or lacking energy, which is unrelated to deserving scorn.

Answer:

A. despicable
