malleable : acquiescent ::
  1. perfidious : traitorous
  2. amalgamate : separate
  3. dogmatic : equivocal
  4. altruistic : selfish
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

Malleable and acquiescent both mean compliant, so look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. In choice (B), amalgamate means to mix or combine, not to separate, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), dogmatic means certain or positive, and equivocal means ambivalent or undecided, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), altruistic means charitable, not selfish. In choice (A), perfidious means disloyal or traitorous, so that is the correct choice.
