unfeigned : contrived ::
  1. unctuous : genuine
  2. puissant : powerful
  3. irrefutable : undeniable
  4. presumptuous : forward
Explanation
Answer: Choice (A) is correct.

In the first half of the analogy, something that is unfeigned is sincere and genuine, the opposite of contrived or plotted. So, look for the answer choice with antonyms. In choice (B), something that is puissant means strong and potent - powerful, so eliminate that choice. In choice (C), something that is irrefutable is certain and undeniable, so eliminate that choice. In choice (D), a presumptuous person is overly forward, or takes liberties, so eliminate that choice. Choice (A) contains the antonyms. An unctuous person is bland, and insincerely suave, not genuine, so that is the correct choice.
