Problem 2 - Entrance Test

Select the pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair: ALTRUISM : PHILANTHROPY

Correct: D

ALTRUISM is the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others, which is often expressed through PHILANTHROPY (the practice of performing charitable or benevolent actions). So, philanthropy is a manifestation or practical application of altruism. Similarly, PATRIOTISM (love for one's country) can manifest as CHAUVINISM (excessive or aggressive patriotism), though chauvinism is often considered an extreme or negative manifestation. Skepticism is doubt, but not the manifestation. Cowardice and bravery are opposites. Invention and discovery are distinct processes.
