child : wastrel
  1. trinket : luminous
  2. hero : adulated
  3. animal : stray
  4. maiden : winsome
Explanation
Answer: Choice (C) is correct.

A wastrel is a child that has been abandoned, so look for a word in the answer choices that has a similar meaning. A trinket that is luminous is bright or sparkling, so eliminate that choice. Adulated means worshiped or revered, so eliminate choice B. A maiden that is winsome is charming or attractive. The only pair that has a similar meaning is C; an animal that is stray has been abandoned or lost.
