The following question, consist of two words each that have a certain relationship to each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair that has the same relationship as the original pair of words: Reproof : Scold

The correct answer is D. Chastise : Erring.

Reproof and scold are both words that mean to express disapproval or criticism. Salient and prominent both mean to be noticeable or important. Romantic and strong do not have a similar relationship. Respite and spite are not related.

Chastise means to punish or scold someone severely. Erring means to make a mistake. So, chastise and erring are related in the same way that reproof and scold are related.
