To be craven is to lack bravery. To be scarce is to lack abundance.

A recluse is someone who is defined as being solitary or apart from society. An artist is someone who is defined as being creative. Thus, the two relationships between the pairs of words are the same.  

The word "nomadic" can be a characteristic of a tribe. Therefore, the correct answer will be an answer choice that can be described as "permanent." The word "permanent" is used as the opposite of "nomadic," so in this context it means non-moving or consistently located in the same location. The noun that is best described by this word is "city," which is therefore the correct answer. 

Torrid describes the weather in the tropics, and frigid describes the weather in the arctic. 

A glutton is someone who is greedy and selfish; restraint means ability to control oneself and prevent oneself from over-indulgence. A glutton is someone who would not show restraint so to solve this analogy you must identify what kind of behavior a braggart would be unlikely to demonstrate. A braggart is someone who boasts and is arrogant (think “brag”) so you can determine that a braggart would not demonstrate “modesty.”

“Metallic” is an adjective that means “of, relating to, or resembling metal or metals.” So, something that is metallic can be made of metal, meaning that we need to pick out an answer choice that describes the material that something that is “ceramic” consists of. While all of the answer choices except for “bowl” refer to materials, “ceramic” specifically means “made of clay and hardened by heat,” so “clay” is the correct answer.

"Feral" means wild and untamed and is a quality generally associated with a wolf so to solve this analogy you have to determine which of these answer choices is generally associated with a dog. A dog is generally “domesticated” which means accustomed to living with or near people. For clarification, the other four answer choices are all loosely synonyms of feral.

A "heroine" is a female who is considered brave, which is observed by the adjective "noble." "Noble" is describing a feature of a "heroine." Therefore, the answer is a description of, or feature of, a strategy. 

The correct answer is "deliberate," which means done with careful consideration. A "strategy" is created from careful planning.

"Procedure" (noun) is incorrect because it is not an adjective, and it is synonymous with strategy. It is a set of steps to meet a goal.

"Imprudent" (adj) means not wise or sensible. Prefix "im" = not, root "prud" = wise. It is the antonym of a strategy.

"Purposefully" (adverb) means done on purpose. Root "pur" = forth, "pose" put/place. While it does fit the analogy, it is an adverb and cannot describe a noun (strategy). 

"Impervious" means unable to be penetrated, unable to be passed through. So, something that is "impervious" cannot be penetrated. Which of these is an answer choice that cannot be "wrong"? The correct answer is "infallible" which means unable to be questioned, incapable of being wrong. Additionally, "arbitrary" means random and meaningless; "abominable" means detestable, loathsome; "hospitable" means welcoming; "fraudulent" means fake, phony, not authentic.

It is a quality of a "comedian" to be "amusing" or humorous and entertaining. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is a quality of an "academic." An "academic" is someone who studies or teaches at a university for a living, so the correct answer is "knowledgeable." Additionally, a "rendition" is a performance of something practiced.
