Oxygen and Nitrogen would be the most similar of the elements listed, because they are the closest in the periodic table. This isn't a very good reason for anything, but the two do have some similar properties. They are both non-metals, they are both highly electronegative, they are both diatmoic gasses in their natural states, they have a similar number of valence electrons, they are both generally oxidizing agents. Oxygen and Chlorine are also quite similar, but not quite as similar as Oxygen and Nitrogen.
