Analogy — “Detention : Release”. Pick the pair that mirrors a direct opposite/contrary relation.

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:

  • Opposites should be standard and unambiguous.


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
