Find the pair of words that has the same kind of relationship as the numbered pair. 12. caper : capricious ::

a. apis : obstinate
b. canis : canine
c. leo : feline
d. avis : apiary

Answer 1

Although I am not completely sure, I believe this analogy has to do with the root word. In capricious, the root word is caper, so, following this example, I would say the correct answer is B) canis : canine, because canis is the root word of canine.
