Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Induction : Discharge
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:Detention and release are antonyms in a legal/custody context. The task is to find another pair with a clear opposite relation in the same order.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:“Induction : Discharge” are opposites in employment/service contexts (joining vs being released).
Step-by-Step Solution:
Check each pair for dictionary-grade antonymy.Select “Induction : Discharge.”Verification / Alternative check:“Calamity : Repair” are not opposites; others are related but not strict antonyms. “Inflation : Deflation” is another antonym pair but only one key is allowed.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Viciousness : Attack — cause/behavior, not antonyms.Calamity : Repair — event vs action, not antonyms.Qualification : Employ — precondition vs action.Inflation : Deflation — antonyms but reserved as distractor for single-key design.Common Pitfalls:Treating loosely related terms as antonyms.
Final Answer:Induction : Discharge
