Analogies — Opposing parties in legal proceedings: Plaintiff : Defendant :: ? : ? Choose the pair that best mirrors two opposing sides in a dispute.

Introduction / Context:
A “plaintiff” is the party bringing a civil suit; the “defendant” is the party against whom the suit is brought. We need a pair that reflects two opposing parties in a dispute context.

Concept / Approach:
In criminal contexts, the “injured” (victim/complainant) stands opposite the “accused.” Among the choices, this comes closest to the adversarial stance mirrored by plaintiff vs defendant.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Judge : Jury — Two adjudicatory bodies/roles, not opposing parties.
• Court : Law — Institution vs system; not parties.
• Attorney : Lawyer — Synonyms, not opponents.
• None of these — inapplicable since a reasonably parallel pair exists.

Final Answer:
Injured : Accused
