Complete the analogies by selecting the pair of words whose relationship most resembles the relationship of the pair in capital letters.

EXPENDABLE : GROCERIES ::

A. unimportant : treasure

B. irreplaceable : heirlooms

C. renewable : artifacts

D. precious : sundries

The answer is:

B. Irreplaceable : heirlooms

Explanation:

In the capitalized words, expendable means exhaustible. The accompanying word groceries can be exhausted. This means that the word on the left is describing the nature of the word on the right.

Applying this same logic, it is seen that the only option that fulfils this is B. Heirlooms are often generational. They are passed down in families and as such described as irreplaceable especially if they should go missing.

Other options are a mismatch e.g treasures are important therefore the word on the left "unimportant" doesn't describe it. Artifacts are archaeological findings and may or may not be renewable( renewable means can be renewed)

Sundries mean separate, distinct or consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds. Precious do not describe it.

So, irreplaceable : heirloom is the correct answer.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
