A
plz explain
C)
Use of Speech in deviating from the main point is called Filibuster.
a passage or section that deviates from the central theme is digression
i think it is c and the above explaintion is the apt one
answer is A and not C
marathon is long race as filibuster is a long speech ...
But Marathon include race in positive sense and Filibuster includes speech in a negative sense Madur?
How do u explain (A)?
agree with above....
filibuster is in negative sense..so C must be the ans..
let me throw some light ...
GRE analogies are not at all based on +ve and -ve connotations... they are clearly based on relationships and whichsoever provides stronger relationship is the answer ....
connotations only sometimes choose the better out of two similar relationships ...

let me know if i am wrong ...
and to add more, a passage and digression cannot be called positive or negative, since digression can be towards positive thing also... i.e. from wrong to right ...
hope i am clear
CORRECT ANSWER IS
ADDRESS is an eye-catcher since it might remind
one of a SPEECH. DIGRESSION is also an eyecatcher
since one may digress during a SPEECH.
Now, a FILIBUSTER is a long SPEECH. Similarly, a
MARATHON is a long RACE. The answer is (A).
C
