boycott is to protest as fiction is to ______.

poetry non - fiction literature

Explanation:

To solve the analogy, we analyze the relationship between "boycott" and "protest". A boycott is a specific type of protest. Now, we need to find what "fiction" is a specific type of. "Literature" is a broader category that includes fiction (along with non - fiction, poetry, etc.). "Poetry" is a different form within literature, and "non - fiction" is a category distinct from fiction. So fiction is a type of literature, just as a boycott is a type of protest.

Answer:

literature
