Xenophobia is the hatred or fear of strangers or unusual circumstances/objects. Let us take a look at the provided answers and see which provides the best comparison:
A. hydrophobia : sharks
Hydrophobia is the fear of water. Sharks aren't water, but they live in water. The comparison doesn't exist, so we can move on.
B. bibliophilia : books
Bibliophilia is the love of books, and while there is a bit of a comparison, it is more or less the opposite of the original comparison.
C. acrophobia : heights
Acrophobia is the fear of heights, so there is a definite comparison here with the original. This is most likely correct, but let us examine the last answer anyway.
D. philanthropy : charity
Philanthropy is the compulsion to give money or valuables away to others who may want/need them more than you. In this case, philanthropy and charity are synonyms, so there isn't a real clear comparison to be made.
So your final answer is:
xenophobia : foreigners :: acrophobia : heights
C is your correct answer choice.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
2. (RL.2.4) Read the excerpt from the passage from " “By Any Other Name” by Santha Ramu Rau
“‘Come along,’ she said, frowning slightly. ‘What’s your name, dear?’‘I don’t know.’ I said flatly.”

b.It conveys the teacher’s disinterest in her Indian students.
c.It highlights the loss of identity felt by the Indian people.
d.It affirms that the British people are superior to the Indian people
Answer:
c.It highlights the loss of identity felt by the Indian people.
Explanation:
“By Any Other Name" portrays the loss of the essence of indigenous individuals when forced to live in British "reformatorios", where they were forced to use Christian names and assume British customs seen as correct and civilized. In the excerpt shown in the question above, we see that one of the "teachers" of the reformatorio asks an indigenous girl what her name is. The girl was taught not to use her indigenous name anymore, what makes her confused about what name she has and who she really is.
The author's choice of words for this passage highlights the loss of identity felt by the indigenous people.
