Question

Select the related word from the given alternatives.

Liberty : Autonomy :: Equality : ?

1. A. Legitimacy
2. B. Neutrality
3. C. Fairness (Correct answer)
4. D. Diversity

Correct Answer

Option C — Fairness

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Fairness.

Key Points

• The relation is synonymy: *liberty* and *autonomy* both mean freedom from external control.
• So the fourth term must be a synonym of equality — the state of being equal, treated the same.
• Fairness is that synonym: impartial, even-handed treatment.

Additional Information

• Legitimacy is lawfulness, neutrality is refusing to take sides, and diversity is variety — none of them means equality.
• Neutrality is the most tempting distractor because it sounds even-handed, but it describes *not choosing*, not *treating equally*.
• State the relation as a sentence before reading the options — *liberty means the same as autonomy* — and the matching pair follows.
