Analogies

1. new is to fresh as revelry is to:

"New" and "fresh" are synonyms (they have similar meanings). We need to find a synonym for "revelry". "Revelry" means lively and noisy celebrations. "Celebration" is a synonym for revelry. "Tradition" is about customs, "solution" is about solving problems, and "revolution" is about a big change (like political), so they don't match.

"Traditional" and "modern" are antonyms (opposite meanings). So we need an antonym for "superstition". "Superstition" is a belief not based on science. "Science" is based on evidence and reasoning, so it's the opposite. "Magic" and "sorcery" are related to superstition-like ideas, and "belief" is a general term, so they don't fit as antonyms.

"Vindication" is about clearing one's name or proving justice, while "revenge" is about getting back at someone. These have different (opposite in intent) meanings, so they are antonyms (A).
