The correct answer is: A. Authoritarian : Superiority
A despot is a ruler who has absolute power and exercises it in a cruel and oppressive way. Tyranny is the act of ruling in a cruel and oppressive way. An authoritarian is a person who believes in or supports absolute obedience to authority. Superiority is the state or quality of being superior.
In the original pair of words, “despotic” and “tyranny,” the two words are related in that they both refer to a cruel and oppressive form of government. In the answer pair, “authoritarian” and “superiority,” the two words are related in that they both refer to a belief in or support for
absolute obedience to authority.The other options are not correct because they do not have the same relationship as the original pair of words. For example, in the option pair “generous” and “liberality,” the two words are related in that they both refer to a willingness to
give or spend freely. However, this is not the same relationship as the relationship between “despotic” and “tyranny.”
