timorous : valiant ::
  1. insalubrious : unwholesome
  2. maniacal : insane
  3. limpid : clear
  4. provident : wasteful
Explanation
Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

The first half of the analogy contains antonyms. Timorous refers to someone who is nervous or fearful, the opposite of valiant and brave. So, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), insalubrious means unhealthy or not wholesome, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), maniacal describes a maniac, someone who is insane, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), limpid and clear are synonyms, so eliminate that choice. Choice (D) contains the antonyms. Someone who is provident is frugal and prepared, not wasteful, so that is the correct choice.
