Analogy — “Complexion : White : Black”. Choose the option that mirrors “attribute : opposite values”.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Officer : Honest : Corrupt

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The stem presents an attribute (complexion) with two opposite values (white, black). We must pick a set where an entity is paired with two contrasting qualities, preserving the “attribute with opposites” idea.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Complexion is an attribute; white/black are contrasting values.
  • We need an entity with two opposite traits.


Concept / Approach:
Focus on “entity : positive trait : opposite trait.”


Step-by-Step Solution:

Scan choices for a clear pair of antonymic qualities.“Officer : Honest : Corrupt” supplies a role with opposite traits (honest vs corrupt).


Verification / Alternative check:
Other options either mix categories (objects/places) or lack a clean antonym pair linked to a single entity.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Alert : Intelligent : Babies — inconsistent structure; “babies” is not an opposite trait.Health : Disease : Hospital — mixes attribute, condition, and place.Train : Bus : Journey — objects and an event; no opposites.Weather : Dry : Wet — closer, but “weather” is the overall condition itself; the classic key pairs a person/role with traits.


Common Pitfalls:
Accepting related words without verifying the “opposites under one attribute” constraint.


Final Answer:
Officer : Honest : Corrupt
