CIRCUITOUS : ROUTER 1 pointA. problematic : solutionB. devious : argumentC. elliptical : brevityD. judicious : selection

The question seems to be a type of analogy question often found on standardized tests like the SAT or GRE. The relationship in the given pair "CIRCUITOUS : ROUTER" is that a router follows a circuitous, or indirect and roundabout, path.

Let's look at the answer choices:

A. problematic : solution - This pair doesn't match the original relationship. A solution solves a problem, but it doesn't necessarily follow a roundabout path to do so.

B. devious : argument - This pair could potentially match the original relationship. A devious argument could be seen as one that follows a roundabout or indirect path.

C. elliptical : brevity - This pair doesn't match the original relationship. Elliptical refers to something being oval or oblong in shape, and brevity refers to concise and exact use of words. There's no clear connection between these two words.

D. judicious : selection - This pair doesn't match the original relationship. Judicious refers to having, showing, or done with good judgment or sense, and selection refers to the action or fact of carefully choosing someone or something as being the best or most suitable.

So, the best answer seems to be B. devious : argument, as it most closely matches the original relationship of following a roundabout or indirect path.
