A Correct answer
Explanation

Powerful and Mighty are synonyms that both mean having great strength or power. Similarly, Patient and Tolerant are closely related synonyms - a patient person shows tolerance, and a tolerant person demonstrates patience. Option D (Purify:Cleanse) are also synonyms, but A is the better match as both pairs involve personal qualities rather than actions.
