Fill in the blanks: Tail winds are to ________ : as headwinds are to _________. Forces, friction. Friction, force.Ships, force.

• (A) Forces, friction.
• (B) Friction, force.
• (C) Ships, force.
• (D) Ships, friction.

 

Explanation: The selected answer, ‘Forces, friction,’ is correct. In the context of the analogy presented, tailwinds represent forces that propel or support movement, while headwinds represent friction or resistance that opposes movement. Tailwinds are beneficial forces that provide momentum and assistance, typically aiding progress or advancement towards a desired outcome. In contrast, headwinds create obstacles or challenges by generating resistance or opposition, hindering forward movement and requiring additional effort to overcome. This analogy can be applied to various scenarios beyond literal wind conditions, representing the dynamic interplay between facilitating forces and opposing friction in achieving goals or navigating challenges. Therefore, the selected answer accurately reflects the relationship between tailwinds and headwinds as forces and friction, respectively, making it correct.
