Correct Answer: Picky : Fussy


Solution : Given:
Latent : Dormant (Latent means existing, but not very noticeable, active or well developed and the meaning of dormant is not active for some time. Therefore this depicts that the given words are synonyms of each other.)

Let's check the options –
First option: Nice : Demanding; Nice is an adjective meaning pleasant or satisfactory and Demanding is an adjective meaning not easily satisfied. Nice and Demanding are the antonyms of each other.
Second option: Picky : Fussy; Picky and Fussy means too particular about choosing. Picky and Fussy are the synonyms of each other.
Third option: Lathe : Latex; Lathe is a type of machine and Latex is an artificial substance used to make paints. So, they have nothing in common in their meanings.
Fourth option: Pious : Dainty; Pious means deep belief in religion and Dainty means small and delicate. So, they have nothing in common in their meanings.

So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given pair of words. Hence, the second option is correct.
