I had trouble with this one too, Jeff, deciding between C and D. Cunning is deception based on truth; illusion is deception based on perception. Gaffe is a social mistake made by accident, not with intent to deceive.

But Mr.M., perception carries the meaning of an act or a process (so does judgment: the act of judging), while truth doesn't. Truth is sorta like we describes something's characteristic (say, it being true suggests the true characteristic of "it"). I think that's why D would be closer.

I see your point, Jeff, but I don't think it is really germane to this analogy. Let me rephrase:
Cunning is deception based on an intellectual belief (to the victim, a truth); illusion is deception based on a visual belief (to the victim, a perception).
Because a gaffe is accidental, a dumb mistake, I cannot see it as analogous to the base
