The pair 'Before : After' is correctly related to
Answer: D
The keyed pair is Predecessor : Successor.
'Before' and 'after' express the general relation of what comes earlier to what comes later. A predecessor is one who comes before and a successor one who comes after, so the pair expresses exactly that relation in noun form, and like 'before : after' it is a pair of exact opposites in sequence.
'First : Second' are adjacent positions in a count rather than opposites, 'Past : Present' stops at the present rather than what follows, and 'Historic : Contemporary' contrasts importance in history with being current, not order.
