Let’s describe the meaning of each option, then find the best analogy.
- ${\color{Red} \text{Refuse:}}$ To decline or reject something, not directly related to protesting.
- ${\color{Blue} \text{Pretext:}}$ A false reason or excuse, not directly related to agreement or disagreement.
- ${\color{Purple} \text{Recommend:}}$ To suggest or endorse something positively, the opposite of protesting.
- ${\color{Teal} \text{Refute:}}$ To prove something wrong or false, not directly related to agreement or disagreement.
Among these options,${\color{Purple} \text{“recommend”}}$ is the best opposite of ${\color{Magenta} \text{“agree”}}$ in this analogy because it aligns with expressing agreement or support, contrasting with the concept of protest.
