stimulus, impetus Prior to 1957, Rachel Carson was already concerned about “aerial pesticide spraying,” but the lawsuit caused her to begin work on the book. A good fill-in would be inspiration. Atrocity (extremely wicked or cruel act) and catastrophe (disaster) have similar spins, but they are not really a pair. Climate (the general weather conditions in an area over a long period), which presents a theme trap, and conspiracy (a secret plan by two or more people to do something unlawful) have no relationship.
