The capitalized pair works by degree: satisfactory is the mild version of wonderful. Both are positive, but one is ordinary and one is extreme.

So the second pair needs the mild version of gigantic, and that is large.

Spacious fails because it describes room inside a place, not size in general, so it does not sit on the same strong to mild line.

Tip: Say the link between the capitalized words in one short sentence, then read that sentence again with each option in place.

The link is science and what it studies: botany is the study of plants.

The study of soil is pedology, so (C) keeps the same link.

Pedagogy is the closest trap because it looks almost the same, but it means the art of teaching, not the study of soil.

Tip: With subject name pairs, watch for lookalike words. Read every letter before you choose.

The link is a group and one person inside it: a player is one person in a team.

A member is one person in a crew, so (D) repeats the link. Note that the two pairs are written in opposite order, group first and then person in the first pair.

Musician and vocalist fail because they name single people, and the missing word has to name the group.

Tip: Check which side is the group and which side is the part before you pick. Order can flip between the two pairs.

Justice and fairness mean nearly the same thing, so this is a synonym pair.

Bias means judging unfairly in advance, and prejudice means the same, so (B) matches.

Compassion fails because it is a feeling of pity, not unfair judgement.

Tip: When two capitalized words mean the same, the answer is simply a synonym of the third word.

Feasible describes a plan that can really be carried out.

Achievable says exactly that, so (B) is the match.

Ambitious is the nearest trap: an ambitious plan is a big plan, and a big plan may still be impossible.

Tip: Put the capitalized word in a short sentence of your own, then swap in each option and keep the one that changes nothing.

Adhere means to stick to something, and with rules or orders it means to follow them.

Obey carries that same sense, so (A) is correct.

Drop, abandon and decline all mean to let go or refuse, which is the opposite direction.

Tip: If three options mean roughly the same as one another, they are usually all wrong. The odd one is often the answer.
