Accelerate is to Velocity as
NB: this is "verb is to noun as"
If something accelerates, its velocity increases with respect to time.
On a noun - noun basis, acceleration is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time.
"sound is to decibels" cannot be correct. as it is "noun - noun" but should be "verb-noun"
"commiserate is to weight" makes no sense as commiserate is unconnected to weight.
"incarcerate is to prison" cannot be correct as incarcerate is not directly connected with prison nor is "incarceration" a derivative.
denigrate is to reputation cannot be correct as denigrate is not directly connected with reputation nor is denigration a derivative of reputation.
levitate is to elevation must be correct.
to levitate = to rise; elevation = height
We can levitate to a height as we can accelerate to a velocity (because levitation is the first derivative of height" with respect to time.)
