    • Author : authentic

    • Victim : vulnerable

    • Solitude : alone

    Correct Answer
    A. Victim : vulnerable
    Explanation
    The relationship between the words "predatory" and "predatory" is that they are synonyms, meaning they have the same or similar meanings. Similarly, the relationship between "victim" and "vulnerable" is that they are also synonyms, as a victim is someone who is vulnerable to harm or attack. Therefore, "victim : vulnerable" is the correct answer as it follows the same pattern of synonym relationship as "predatory : predatory".

    • Guess : estimate

    • Annoy : infuriate

    A. Annoy : infuriate
    Explanation
    The relationship between "nibble" and "devour" is that "devour" is a more intense and extreme version of "nibble." Similarly, the relationship between "annoy" and "infuriate" is that "infuriate" is a stronger and more extreme form of "annoy." Both pairs of words follow a pattern where the second word represents a more intense or extreme version of the first word.
