Final answer:

The answer to the analogy 'thanked : helped :: punished :' is 'misbehave.' English analogies demonstrate relationships between words, and in this case, 'punished' relates to 'misbehave' as 'thanked' relates to 'helped.' Correct comma placement and spelling enhance clarity and accuracy in English language communication.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the analogy thanked : helped :: punished : is misbehave. In an analogy, the relationship between the first set of words should be identical to the relationship between the second set. Here, 'thanked' is to 'helped' as 'punished' is to 'misbehave.' You thank someone when they have helped you, and you punish someone when they have misbehaved. This type of question is often found in English language and literature studies, where understanding word relationships is crucial.

As for the review questions involving comma placement, here are the corrected sentences:

  4. Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy.
  5. I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police.
