Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options that best expresses the relationship similar to the original pair of words.
RECALCITRANT : AUTHORITY :: HERETICAL : _______

The correct answer is

ORTHODOXY

A recalcitrant person stubbornly resists authority, so the first word describes opposition to the second.

In the same way, a heretical view goes against orthodoxy, the accepted and established religious or traditional belief.

Tradition, ritual and doctrine are related to belief, but heresy is defined specifically as a departure from accepted orthodox opinion, which makes it the exact parallel of resisting authority.

Hence, ORTHODOXY.
