SSAT Secondary School Admission Test

Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, someone who is sagacious is wise or sage-like. So, look for the answer pair that contains synonyms. In choice (A), histrionic describes something that is theatrical or melodramatic - over-the-top, not restrained or reserved, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), something that is pallid is pale and wan, not healthy-looking, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), someone who is perspicacious is acute and observant, not ignorant. The only choice that contains synonyms is choice (C). Someone who has fortitude is resilient and determined, so that is the correct choice.
