disseminate : distribute ::
  1. renounce : relinquish
  2. shirk : acknowledge
  3. shirk : acknowledge
  4. transmogrify : appear
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

To disseminate means to distribute or circulate, so look for the answer choice that contains a pair of synonyms. In choice (B), to shirk means to avoid (such as a responsibility), which is the opposite of acknowledge. Eliminate choice (C), because to simper means to leer or sneer. Eliminate choice (D), because to transmogrify means to change the appearance of something, not to appear. The only choice that contains synonyms is choice (A). To renounce means to give up or relinquish.
