Question

Light:blinding:: _____

Answer 1

Answer:

sound:deafening

Explanation:

Light is good, but too much light on your eyes will blind you. The correlation here is clear. Even though light might help you see, a strong light might make you see nothing in the same way that a very loud sound will make you hear nothing.

Answer 2

Since the pairing of the words light:blinding is based on the negative effect of the first word, the analogy we are looking for here has the same effect. So, the correct answer is sound:deafening.
