Lope and jog are both slow forward movements. The correct analogy will be lull and calm. Lull imp,is something soothing, while calm can mean free from excitement.

Answer:

A) lull : calm

Step-by-step explanation:

An analogy, by definition is: "a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.".

Lope is to "run or move with a long bounding stride".

Jog is to "run at a steady gentle pace, especially on a regular basis as a form of physical exercise".

They're both movements and they're both meant for you to go forward. So the words are related to one another, such as lull and calm, which are synonyms; which is the analogy here.

Run and idle are not, since they mean opposite things. Same for miss and attend. Same for follow and lead.
