Q) If ‘→’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [drizzle → rain → downpour] is analogous to [ ______ → quarrel → feud]. Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?.

The correct answer is A. Bicker.

Explanation:
The sequence [drizzle → rain → downpour] shows increasing intensity of rain. In the same way, bicker refers to a small, petty argument, which can escalate into a quarrel (a more serious argument), and then into a feud (a long-lasting, intense conflict). The other options (bog, dither, dodge) are unrelated to the progression of arguments or conflict. Hence, "bicker" fits the analogy perfectly.
