Analogy — Opposites by degree/ability: Giant : Dwarf :: Genius : ? Pick the word that stands to “Genius” as “Dwarf” stands to “Giant” (antonymic contrast).

Introduction / Context:“Giant : Dwarf” establishes an antonymic contrast based on degree/attribute (size). To mirror that pattern with “Genius : ?”, we need the opposite in terms of intellectual ability.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Giant vs Dwarf → opposites in size.
• Genius vs ? → opposites in intelligence.
• We apply Recovery-First Policy to correct the option spelling to “Idiot”.

Concept / Approach:Preserve antonymy within the same semantic field. “Genius” denotes exceptional intelligence; its conventional antonym in verbal analogies is “Idiot”.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Substitute pair: “Genius : Idiot” reads as standard antonyms in ability-level contrasts.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Wicked/Gentle: Morality/temperament, not intelligence.
• Tiny: Opposes “Giant” but mismatched to “Genius”.
• None of these: Incorrect as “Idiot” fits.

Common Pitfalls:Selecting “Tiny” due to the first pair’s size theme; the second pair concerns intelligence, not size.

Final Answer:Idiot
