Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

This analogy is a 1-3, 2-4 analogy, in which the first term is related to the 3^rd term, and the 2^nd term is related to the 4^th term. An homage is a speech that praises or admires someone, and an invective is a speech or tirade that is derogatory. Choice (B) is incorrect because speech and dialogue are types of orations, but they do not have the same relationship as the initial pair. Choice (C) denotes possible characteristics of orations, but an homage is not hypocritical, and an invective is not necessarily fanatical. Likewise, in choice (D) condemning would need to go with homage, due to the 1-3, 2-4 structure, and it does not.
