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:
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
