Answer: B.) Entailment

Explanation: The term entailment in a legal parlance refers to the concept of succession whereby properties of the deceased is passed on his closest heir. The concept of entailment is usually employed in other to curb the dissociation or separation of the wealth of the deceased thus it is passed on the one male heir who is regarded as the closest to the deceased. Women are prohibited from inheriting usually due to the fact that there is a possibility of the property breaking up or falling into the hands of someone who is not in the family's bloodline.

<h2>Please mark me brainliest because I worked hard on this and it took me almost 15 mins, I gave a deep explanation, and also I was the first person to answer lol. :)</h2>

Answer:

the answer is the second one. (ugly : pretty : ::tall :short)

Explanation:

Definition of Analogy- a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

Here is an example sentence- "an analogy between the workings of nature and those of human societies"

The reason why I chose the second answer is because it is comparing beauty/society. Like for example, "alissa is tall, but sam is short" or "Emily is ugly, but Jessica is pretty". These are all comparisons.

I didn't choose the first answer (dog : cat :: cat : mouse) because it is just saying opposites and it is not comparing, it is naming animals.

I didn't choose the third one (brush: comb :: broom: sweep) because, again, they are only naming objects.

I didn't choose the fourth one (yellow : bright :: one : little) because its not comparing and its just naming random things that don't even go together lol
