credulous : naïve ::
  1. nebulous : precise
  2. ornate : unadorned
  3. resplendent : magnificent
  4. pugnacious : peaceable
Explanation
Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

Credulous and naïve are synonyms that mean trusting, so look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. In choice (A), nebulous means hazy and ill-defined, not precise. In choice (B), ornate means elaborate and ornamental, not unadorned. In choice (D), pugnacious means argumentative, not peaceable. Therefore, choice (C) is the only pair that contains synonyms, as resplendent means magnificent or dazzling.
