Explanation:
When we compare the words "good" and "bad," we can see that they are antonyms or opposites of each other. "Good" represents something positive or desirable, while "bad" represents something negative or undesirable. This relationship can be described as a contrast or opposition between two different qualities.
Similarly, when we compare the words "virtue" and "vice," we can see that they are also antonyms or opposites of each other. "Virtue" represents a morally good quality or behavior, while "vice" represents a morally bad quality or behavior. This relationship can be described as a contrast or opposition between two different moral qualities.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "vice," as it is the word that represents the opposite or contrast to the word "virtue" in the same way that "bad" represents the opposite or contrast to the word "good."
Summary:
The relationship between "good" and "bad" is that of opposites or contrasts. Similarly, the relationship between "virtue" and "vice" is also that of opposites or contrasts. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "vice."
