Find the option that completes the second pair with the same relationship as…

Concept

In a cause-and-consequence analogy, the first term is a behaviour or condition and the second term is a likely result of it.

The same directional relationship must hold in the second pair; a synonym, an opposite, or a merely associated idea does not preserve the relation.

Application

Arrogance can lead a person to failure because overconfidence may cause poor judgment. In the same way, impatience can lead to an error because haste can reduce care and accuracy.

Contrast

• ENDURANCE is the capacity to continue despite difficulty; it is not a likely consequence of impatience.

• ERROR is a mistake in judgment or action and can result from acting impatiently.

• SPEED is a rate of action; it may accompany haste but is not itself the consequence expressed by the analogy.

• WAITING is a delay in action and is closer to patience than to a consequence of impatience.

Cross-check

Substituting the words gives the parallel cause-to-consequence pattern: arrogance may cause failure, and impatience may cause error. Therefore, the required value is ERROR.
