Btw, ans for this one: I do not know exactly which one is rgt btn c and d( encroach : jealousy, demur : objection)
Countenance: means to approve(so countenance & toleration are synonym to each other)

[quote=myword]countenance : toleration
a. defer : ignorance
b. renounce : mistrust
c. encroach : jealousy
d. demur : objection
e. reject : disappointment
Countenance is to approve of or give support to
Toleration is a state due to countenancing of something without your wish (acquiscence)
ignorance is to defer ( unwillingly ) not at all because defer means to cringe menially even if you do not agree, whereas ignorance is lack of knowledge, understanding or information about something
Mistrust is to renounce nope does not fit in analogy
objection is to demur ( that is only because you disagree)
Disappointment is to reject does not fit in analogy
jealousy is a state due to encroaching upon something without your wish
So I go for C -the correct answer
can anybody comment on the analogy
thanks

countenance : toleration
a. defer : ignorance
b. renounce : mistrust
c. encroach : jealousy
d. demur : objection
e. reject : disappointment
Countenance is to approve of or give support to
Toleration is to accept/approve of sth without your willingness
So you can say toleration means countenancing reluctantly of sth
fitting each analogy in above sentence:
Ignorance means defering reluctantly of sth
not at all because defer to allow someone or something to make decisions for you or tell you what to do, even if you disagree with them, because of your respect for them or because of their higher rank, authority, knowledge, etc:
whereas ignorance is lack of knowledge, understanding or information about something so no question of your will.
Mistrust means renouncing reluctantly of sth : no it does not fit
objection means demuring reluctantly of sth ( you make an objection when you don't agree/approve of sth)
Disappointment means rejecting reluctantly of sth
Jealousy means encroaching reluctantly of sth
Sorry for the earlier big mistake
I was just deluged in situation so much that I couldn't come up with good setence.
can anybody comment on the analogy
thanks
