Question of the Day

EARTHQUAKE : TSUNAMI :: ARGUMENT : ?

  1. discussion
  2. hurt feelings (correct answer)
  3. people
  4. resolution

Explanation: An earthquake can cause a tsunami, just as an argument can cause hurt feelings and emotional damage. Both show cause-and-effect relationships where one disruptive event directly produces harmful consequences. Discussion is general conversation, people participate in arguments, and resolution may follow arguments, but hurt feelings are the direct emotional effect.
