Correct Answer: Throb
Explanation:
To solve this word analogy question, we need to determine the relationship between the first pair of words and apply that same relationship to the second pair.
1. Analyze the first pair (Eye : Wink):
An eye performs the characteristic, quick, or rhythmic muscular motion known as a wink.
2. Apply the relation to the second pair (Heart : ?):
Similarly, the characteristic, rhythmic beating or muscular motion of the heart is called a throb (or pulsation).
Therefore, Heart : Throb completes the relational pair.
