Answer 2

D. assemble : dismantle :: absorb : expel

Step-by-step explanation:

The synonym analogy refers to writing two words that represent the same meaning. The synonym/antonym analogy represents two words that have opposite meanings.

For example: in assemble: dismantle example, the words have different meanings.

Assemble refers to fitting, while dismantle refers to pull the pieces apart. In absorb: expel example, the word absorb refers to soaking up and expel refers to ejecting out.

Therefore, the synonym/antonym analogy is assemble/dismantle and absorb/expel.
