Puritan : prudish ::
  1. medium : fatuous
  2. coquette : flirtatious
  3. Bohemian : conventional
  4. confidante : distrustful
Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

In the initial part of the analogy, consider the relationship between the words Puritan and prudish. In this relationship, the second word - prudish - describes a Puritan. So, select the answer choice that has words with a similar relationship. In choice (A), a medium is someone who is clairvoyant or psychic, not fatuous or foolish, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), a bohemian is unconventional in an artistic way, not conventional, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), a confidante is someone who is a trusted friend, not someone who is distrustful, so eliminate that choice. Choice (B) is correct. A coquette is a coy woman who is flirtatious.
