preponderance : supremacy ::
  1. avarice : greed
  2. cohesion : separation
  3. fidelity : betrayal
  4. generality : detail
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, preponderance means dominance or supreme, so look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. In choice (B), cohesion means to hold together or unity, not separation. In choice (C), fidelity means faithfulness, not betrayal, which is the opposite. In choice (D), generality means an overview, not detailed, so eliminate that choice. The only choice that contains synonyms is choice (A). Avarice and greed are synonyms.
