which of the following comparisons agrees with what the passage is saying?
○ peace is to war as civilization is to progress.
○ peace is to a nation as health is to a person.
○ peace is to hostility as war is to contagion.
○ peace is to disorder as disease is to an enemy.

Explanation:

The passage compares the spread of war (like an epidemic) and how communities respond to physical disease epidemics (quarantining patients to protect health). Option B compares peace to a nation's health (as peace is vital for a nation, health is vital for a person), mirroring the passage's analogy between war/epidemic and peace/health - related protection. Other options don't align: A misrelates peace - war to civilization - progress; C misstructures the analogy; D has an illogical disease - enemy comparison.

Answer:

B. Peace is to a nation as health is to a person.
