apostate : religion ::
  1. renegade : militia
  2. traitor : country
  3. loyal : faith
  4. colonist : revolutionary
Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

Consider the relationship between the words in the first half of the analogy. An apostate is one who forsakes his religion, so look for the pair that has the same relationship. In choice (A), a renegade does not forsake his militia, so eliminate that. In choice (C), loyal and faith are not related in the same way, so eliminate that. In choice (D), a colonist and a revolutionary might be somewhat synonymous, but do not have the same relationship. Choice (B) is correct. A traitor forsakes his country.
