Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

1. Analyze the first given pair to identify the core relationship logic: The question asks to identify the relationship between 'Kindness' and 'Cruelty'. - 'Kindness' refers to the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. - 'Cruelty' refers to willful behavior causing pain or suffering to others. - Therefore, 'Kindness' and 'Cruelty' are direct antonyms (opposites) of each other.
2. Apply the identified antonym rule to the target word: The target word provided is 'Courage'. - 'Courage' refers to the ability to do something that frightens one; bravery or valor. - To find the missing term, look for the direct antonym (opposite) of 'Courage'.
3. Evaluate the options based on this logic: - The exact opposite quality of being courageous is being a coward, which is defined as 'Cowardice'.
4. Final output: Cowardice
