poseur : impress
  1. malcontent : appeasement
  2. extrovert : conceal
  3. ruffian : ruminate
  4. proselyte : convert
Explanation
Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

Consider the relationship of the words in the first half of an analogy. A poseur changes something about himself to please or impress others. A malcontent complains, and does not change anything about himself to appease others. An extrovert does not attempt to conceal anything, so eliminate choice (B). A ruffian (or bully) does not to ruminate, or think deeply, so eliminate choice (C). A proselyte changes something about himself, typically converting from one opinion or one religion to another.
