cumbersome : unwieldy ::
  1. abstruse : obscure
  2. cursory : scrupulous
  3. indelible : fleeting
  4. phlegmatic : vigorous
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

Something that is cumbersome is clumsy or unwieldy, so look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. Abstruse means obsolete or hidden, as does obscure, so that is the synonym pair. Choice (B) is incorrect, because cursory means hasty or hurried and scrupulous means careful and thorough. Something that is indelible is permanent, not fleeting, so eliminate choice (C). Someone who is phlegmatic is apathetic or indifferent, not vigorous and energetic.
