SSAT Secondary School Admission Test

Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, temerity means boldness or audacity, and caginess means evasive or cautious. So, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), a foible is a fault or shortcoming, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), hubris and arrogance mean the same thing - conceit - so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), kismet means destiny; in fact, it is the Arabic word for fate, so eliminate that choice. Choice (D) contains the antonyms. The word naïveté refers to inexperience or greenness, not sophistication.
