Analogy — Select the pair with the same relation: Mendacity : Honesty

Introduction / Context:“Mendacity” means lying or untruthfulness; “honesty” is truthfulness. The stem is therefore an antonym pair, contrasting a vice with a virtue. We need a second pair that also presents clear semantic opposition.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Mendacity ↔ Honesty: vice vs virtue, direct opposites.
• Accept different parts of speech if antonymy holds unambiguously.

Concept / Approach:Identify which option forms unmistakable opposites within the same semantic field (character traits).

Step-by-Step Solution:(a) Truth : Beauty → unrelated abstract nouns; not opposites.(b) Sportsmanship : Fortitude → different virtues; not opposites.(c) Courageous : Craven → brave vs cowardly; clear antonyms in character traits.(d) Turpitude : Depravity → near-synonyms (moral corruption), not opposites.

Verification / Alternative check:Both pairs oppose a positive trait to a negative counterpart (honesty vs mendacity; courageous vs craven).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:(a) No antonymy; (b) both positive; (d) synonyms of vice.

Common Pitfalls:Choosing synonyms of vice in (d) because they “feel strong,” but the stem requires opposition.

Final Answer:Courageous : Craven
