Solution

The answer is B. relief.

Here's the step by step reasoning:

  1. Anticipation and disappointment are two emotions that are often linked. When you anticipate something, you look forward to it, and if it doesn't meet your expectations, you feel disappointment.

  2. Similarly, dread is a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that is going to happen. The emotion that is often linked to the end of a dreaded event is relief.

  3. Therefore, just as anticipation can lead to disappointment, dread can lead to relief.

So, dread is to relief as anticipation is to disappointment.
