Complete this analogy.
Benefactor is to __________ as mediator is to resolve.
Possible Answers:
contaminate

Correct answer:
subsidize
Explanation:
A "mediator" is someone who listens to an argument between two parties and tries to help them reach a compromise. The role of a "mediator" then is to "resolve" conflict. Which of these is an action that might be done by a "benefactor." Well, a "benefactor" is someone who provides money or other types of support in order to help someone else to do something. So, something a "benefactor" might do is "subsidize," which means support financially, give some money to. Additionally, "merit" means earn, deserve; "broker" means arrange, set up; "dismantle" means take apart; "contaminate" means make impure, make toxic.
