So we are looking for an answer-choice that compares two things and draws a conclusion based on their similarity. Notice that we are looking for an argument that uses similar reasoning, but not necessarily similar concepts. In fact, an answer-choice that mentions either tautness or stress will probably be a same-language trap.
Choice uses the same-language trap――notice too taut. The analogy between a taut bow and self-gratification is weak, if existent. Choice offers a good analogy but no conclusion. Choice offers both a good analogy and a conclusion; however, the conclusion, leads to lethargy, understates the scope of what the analogy implies. Choice offers a strong analogy and a conclusion with the same scope found in the original: the engine blows, the person dies the line snaps, the mind snaps. This is probably the best answer, but still we should check every choice. The last choice, , uses language from the original, stressful, to make its weak analogy more tempting. The best answer, therefore, is 。
