Correct answer: C
Solution: 3
1. Analyze each word: 'Intrepid' means fearless or bold. 'Secondary' means not primary or less important. 'Vicarious' means experienced through another person. 'Dismal' means sad or gloomy.
2. Evaluate word pairs: 'Intrepid' and 'Dismal' are unrelated in meaning. 'Intrepid' and 'Secondary' are not synonyms or antonyms. 'Vicarious' and 'Dismal' are unrelated. 'Secondary' and 'Vicarious' both relate to indirect experience.
3. Conclusion: 'Secondary' and 'Vicarious' are synonyms because both describe something that is not direct or primary.
