   • A "nuisance" is something that causes inconvenience or annoyance, and a "pest" is a creature that is considered a nuisance, often in the context of insects or animals.

2. Applying the Relationship:

   • Given this relationship, we can say that a "worry" is something that causes distress or concern. We need to find a word that embodies something that represents a concern or distress similarly to how a pest manifests a nuisance.
