CORRECT ANS IS
Choice (A) is somewhat tempting: it’s often said
that we are ENSLAVED by BUREAUCRACY, but
that is meant in a figurative, not a literal, sense.
Eliminate (A). Choice (B) does not have a reasonably
necessary relationship: a MONARCH may or may not
ABNEGATE (renounce) his or her crown. Eliminate
(B). Choice (C) is the eye-catcher: GENTRY reminds
one of ARISTOCRACY. However, there is no relationship
between GENTRY and TALENT. Eliminate
(C). Choice (D) is the answer. A paraphrase for
ARISTOCRAT : LAND might be “an ARISTOCRAT
has privilege in society because of LAND ownership.”
Similarly, a DIGNITARY has privilege in society due
to RANK.
