Americans are to knowledge as Sheyl is to _____

a) Long Island drivers
b) loud snotty-nosed kids
c) a certain person who shall not be named (*cough* rhymes with Furia *cough*)
d) people who mess up her lab space
e) all of the above

If you realized that the relationship theme in this word puzzle was "hostility" and thus answered e) you might want to check out this article from the NYTimes on the demise of an intelligent American culture.

As a side note the person referenced in choice c) could be classified as anti-rationalist, based on the article, which makes a lot of sense, though it in no way makes that person normal or sane or remotely human.

hostility is a bit strong for some of those, dislike and aversion might be better.

so the correct answer should be only a b and c? or perhaps just a and c?

I think they are listed in descending order of the amount of aggravation they cause me on an average day. Long Island drivers are definitely at the top of the list.
