benign : compassionate ::
  1. intangible : palpable
  2. compliant : amenable
  3. fickle : consistent
  4. timorous : courageous
Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

People who are benign and compassionate have a kind, gentle disposition, so those words are synonyms. Look for the answer pair that are synonyms. Intangible means unable to be touched, and palpable means capable of being touched, so eliminate choice (A). A fickle person is one who is unpredictable or erratic, not consistent. Timorous means nervous or apprehensive, not courageous. A person who is compliant and amenable are agreeable and accommodating, so choice (B) is correct.
