Answer: Choice (D) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, mundane means dull, which is the opposite of exotic. So, look for the answer choice that contains antonyms. In choice (A), limpid means clear or transparent, so eliminate that choice. In choice (B), implacable means relentless or callous, so eliminate choice (B). In choice (C), minatory means threatening, or menacing. The only choice that contains antonyms is (D). Rapacious means greedy, related to money, in particular. Munificent means charitable and giving, so choice (D) is correct.
