byzantine : straightforward
  1. tenacious : yielding
  2. prosaic : dull
  3. resonant : echoing
  4. ribald : profane
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, byzantine means complex or intricate not straightforward. So, look for the answer pair that contains antonyms. In choice (B), prosaic refers to something that lacks imagination, or is dull, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), resonant means deep and full of sound, or echoing, so eliminate that. In choice (D), something that is ribald - generally lewd humor - is profane, so eliminate that choice. Choice (A) is the synonym pair. Someone who is tenacious is firm and persistent - the opposite of yielding - so that is the correct choice.
