COWARD : CRAVEN ::

A
liar : facetious
B
dupe : gullible
C

Explanation and memory cue

The analogy compares a noun to its adjective form describing a characteristic (coward : craven). Option D (judge : impartial) follows this pattern, where 'impartial' is an adjective describing a judge. Option B (dupe : gullible) is incorrect because a 'dupe' is a person who is deceived, while 'gullible' describes a characteristic that could apply to a dupe but is not a direct adjective form of the noun.

exhibit
