Answer
Correct Answer: Safety
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Antonym-based analogy: “Liberty” contrasts with “Slavery.” We must find the direct opposite of “Danger.”
Given Data / Assumptions:
- “Liberty : Slavery” = noun vs noun antonyms.
- We keep the part of speech and relation consistent.
Concept / Approach:“Danger” contrasts with “Safety,” which is the standard antonym in risk contexts.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify antonym relationship.2) Pair “Danger” with “Safety.”3) Reject semantically adjacent but non-antonym words.Verification / Alternative check:Lexical resources consistently list “safety” as the antonym of “danger.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Dangerous: adjective form of danger; not antonym.Anger: unrelated.Stability/Peace: positive states but not the canonical antonym in hazard terminology.Common Pitfalls:Choosing a merely positive word (peace) rather than the strict antonym (safety).
Final Answer:Safety
