anguish : emotion ::
  1. frenetic : fascination
  2. categorical : witticism
  3. prickly : sensation
  4. ubiquitous : parent
Explanation
Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

Anguish is a type of emotion, so look for an answer in which the first term is a type of the second term. Frenetic means frenzied or chaotic. That is not a type of fascination, so eliminate choice (A). Categorical means definite or clear-cut, and witticism refers to a funny remark. That pair does not have a clear relation, so eliminate choice (B). Ubiquitous refers to something that is always there, or ever-present. Although it may seem that parents are ever-present, this pair does not have the same relationship as anguish and emotion. Prickly is a type of sensation, so choice (C) is correct.
