labyrinthine : complicated ::
  1. peripatetic : itinerant
  2. recumbent : upright
  3. dulcet : guttural
  4. froward : concordant
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, labyrinthine means intricate and complicated (like a labyrinth or a maze). Therefore, look for the answer pair that contains synonyms. In choice (B), recumbent means reclining, not upright, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), dulcet means sweet or melodic, not guttural, which means harsh or gravelly, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), froward means ornery and stubborn, and concordant means agreeable and harmonious. These are antonyms, so eliminate that choice. In choice (A), peripatetic means traveling, wandering, or itinerant.
