Answer:
Winston and Vincent stop playing chess with Waverly because she has beaten them countless times.
Explanation:
Vincent and Winston are both Waverly's brothers. In fact, they are the ones who teach her to play chess. But there comes a time when "the student surpasses the teacher" and Waverly begins to win all the games against her brothers.
This results in her brothers getting bored of playing with her, since they cannot beat her and decide to change the game.

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.
Hope that helped =)
