innocuous : offensive ::

interim : provisional
profuse : lavish
effervescent ; bubbly
doleful : celebratory

Explanation

Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, innocuous means harmless or innocent, not offensive. So, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), interim means temporary or provisional, not permanent. In choice (B), profuse and lavish both mean abundant or bountiful, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), effervescent means bubbly or vibrant, so those are synonyms. Choice (D) is correct; doleful means sad or sorrowful, not celebratory.
