Charity : P :: Retaliation : Q
Choose the appropriate pair of words P and Q that fit the analogy.
Choose the appropriate pair of words P and Q that fit the analogy.
Show Hint
- P = Parsimonious; Q = Vengeful
- P = Altruistic; Q = Amicable
- P = Resentful; Q = Spiteful
- P = Magnanimous; Q = Vindictive
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
"Charity : P" pairs an act, charity, the act of giving generously, with a personality trait (P) that describes someone who performs that act. By the same logic, Q must be a personality trait that describes someone who performs the act of "retaliation" (taking revenge).
Step 2: Find the correct word for P.
A person who habitually gives charity is generous and big hearted, which is described by the word "magnanimous" (noble and generous in spirit, especially towards a rival or someone weaker). This matches option (D)'s P.
Step 3: Find the correct word for Q.
A person who habitually retaliates is someone who seeks revenge, which is described by the word "vindictive" (having a strong desire for revenge). This matches option (D)'s Q.
Step 4: Verify the pairing is consistent.
"Charity" (a positive, giving act) and "retaliation" (a negative, revenge seeking act) are opposite in spirit, and correspondingly "magnanimous" (generous, forgiving) and "vindictive" (revengeful) are near opposite personality traits, so the analogy holds together correctly.
Step 5: Eliminate the other options.
Option (A) uses "parsimonious" for P, which means stingy or miserly, the opposite of what a charitable person is, so it is wrong. Option (B) uses "altruistic" for P, which fits charity reasonably well, but pairs it with "amicable" for Q, which means friendly and has nothing to do with seeking revenge, so this pair does not fit retaliation. Option (C) uses "resentful" for P, which describes bitterness rather than generosity, so it does not fit a person who gives charity.
