Question:

Mark the option that has a relationship similar to the capitalized pair of words:

SAFE : UNSAFE

Options:

Virtuous : Vicious

Right: Just

Sin : Profane

Plunder: Loot

Correct Answer:

Virtuous : Vicious

Explanation:

The CORRECT answer is OPTION 1 Virtuous : Vicious.

The words SAFE and UNSAFE are antonyms, meaning they have opposite meanings. SAFE means not exposed to danger or risk, while UNSAFE means exposed to danger or risk. The words VIRTUOUS and VICIOUS are also antonyms. VIRTUOUS means morally good or admirable, while VICIOUS means morally bad or depraved. So, the relationship between SAFE and UNSAFE is similar to the relationship between VIRTUOUS and VICIOUS.

The other options do not have a similar relationship. The word RIGHT means morally correct or justifiable, while JUST means fair or impartial. The word SIN means an act that is considered to be wrong or immoral, while PROFANE means showing disrespect for sacred things. The word PLUNDER means to take something by force or violence, while LOOT means to take something that is not yours, especially during a time of chaos or disorder.
