Charity : P :: Retaliation : Q
Choose the appropriate pair of words P and Q that fit the analogy.
Answer: D
The pair is P = Magnanimous; Q = Vindictive.
The analogy links an act to the disposition that produces it. Charity comes from a magnanimous (generous, big-hearted) nature, and retaliation comes from a vindictive one, a wish to take revenge.
Parsimonious means stingy, the opposite of charitable, even though vengeful would suit retaliation. Altruistic suits charity, but amicable (friendly) is the opposite of retaliation. Resentful and spiteful both fit retaliation, but resentful has nothing to do with charity. Only the last pair fits both halves.
