The analogy presents a relationship where "ominous" suggests a strong indication or foreboding of a "disaster." In this context, the term "ominous" conveys a negative connotation and signals a likely negative event, while "disaster" represents the negative outcome that might occur based on that indication.

In this framework, the most fitting match is found in the pair where "auspicious" suggests a favorable or positive indication, which aligns well with "success." Here, "auspicious" conveys a sense of good fortune or promise that corresponds directly to a positive outcome, making "success" the appropriate counterpart.

This alignment creates a parallel structure that reflects the same type of relationship as the original analogy: one term suggests a positive indication, while the other term represents the positive outcome associated with that indication. Thus, this pairing correctly mirrors the original analogy's dynamics of negative connotations leading to a bad outcome with positive connotations leading to a good outcome.
