Similar/contradictory questions on the Wonderlic test.

Answer: C.
The words in problem one are not related, even though they start with the same letters and are spelled similarly.
ADOPT: take up or start to use or follow (an idea, method, or course of action); legally take another’s child and bring it up as one’s own.
ADAPT: become adjusted to new conditions.
