  • A. joy is to gladness
  • B. glee is to jubilation
  • C. grief is to concern

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

Worry is a lesser version of dread. Sadness is a lesser version of anguish.

Even if you don't know the meaning of anguish, you should still select choice (D), as none of the other answers match the defining relationship between worry and dread. If you don't know all of the words in the answers, you can guess after process of elimination.
