Compassion : Empathy :: Arrogance : ?
Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option C —
Pride
Logical Analysis
To solve this analogy, we must first determine the relationship between the first two words:
Compassion and Empathy are synonyms (or near-synonyms). Both describe a deep awareness of and sympathy for another's feelings or suffering.
Therefore, the missing word must be a synonym for Arrogance.
Evaluating the Options
A) Confidence: This is a positive trait involving self-assurance. While related to one's self-image, it lacks the negative connotation of superiority found in arrogance.
B) Humility: This is the antonym (opposite) of arrogance.
C) Pride: In this context, pride refers to an overbearing sense of self-importance or disdainful behavior toward others, making it a synonym for Arrogance.
D) Modesty: Like humility, this is the antonym of arrogance.
