Solution

The question seems to be asking for an analogy similar to "LAMBASTE is to EXTOL".

"LAMBASTE" means to criticize harshly, while "EXTOL" means to praise highly. These two words have opposite meanings.

So, we need to find a pair of words from the options that also have opposite meanings.

  1. "GALVANIZE" means to stimulate or excite, while "CATALYZE" means to cause or accelerate a reaction. These words do not have opposite meanings.

  2. "MANDATE" means to officially order, while "DECREE" means to officially order as well. These words do not have opposite meanings.

  3. "DISPLACE" means to move something from its usual place, while "RELOCATE" means to move to a new place. These words do not have opposite meanings.

  4. "SKIM" means to read or glance through quickly, while "SCOUR" means to search thoroughly. These words have opposite meanings.

  5. "INFILTRATE" means to enter or gain access secretly, while "SNEAK" means to move or go secretly. These words do not have opposite meanings.

So, the correct answer is "SKIM is to SCOUR".
