"UPBRAID: DISAPPROVAL::
A. rankle: resentment
B. lament: grief"

Please explain for me which pair among the choice A and B would expresses a relationship more similar to the relationship expressed in capitalized one.

Tank you.

I'm just a learner, but let me take a stab at this.

I'd say B because:

To upbraid is to show disapproval.
To lament is to show grief.

But to rankle is to cause resentment.

Maybe someone else has a different opinion.
