Question 1
Complete the analogy.
hot : cold :: early : ____
Correct answer: C
Hot and cold are opposites, and the opposite of early is late. Soon is close in meaning, not opposite.
-
Question 2
Complete the analogy.
author : book :: composer : ____
Correct answer: B
An author creates a book, and a composer creates a symphony. An orchestra performs the music but is not what the composer creates.
-
Question 3
Complete the analogy.
petal : flower :: page : ____
Correct answer: D
A petal is part of a flower, and a page is part of a book. A page is made of paper, which is a different relationship.
-
Question 4
What relationship is shown by the pair hammer : nail?
Correct answer: A
A hammer is a tool used to drive a nail. A nail is not part of a hammer, and the words are neither synonyms nor antonyms.
-
Question 5
Complete the analogy.
fearful : terrified :: happy : ____
Correct answer: B
Terrified is a stronger form of fearful, and ecstatic is a stronger form of happy. Content is milder than happy, so it goes the wrong direction.
-
Question 6
Complete the analogy.
spark : fire :: virus : ____
Correct answer: C
A spark can cause a fire, and a virus can cause an illness. A virus is a kind of germ, but that is a type relationship, not cause and effect.
-
Question 7
Which pair has the same relationship as chapter : novel?
Correct answer: A
A chapter is a part of a novel, just as a verse is a part of a song. A singer performs a song but is not part of it.
-
Question 8
Which pair has the same relationship as generous : stingy?
Correct answer: D
Generous and stingy are antonyms, and so are humble and arrogant. Brave and courageous are synonyms.
-
Question 9
Complete the analogy.
carpenter : wood :: sculptor : ____
Correct answer: C
A carpenter works with wood as a material, and a sculptor often works with stone. A chisel is a tool and a statue is the finished product, so they match different relationships.
-
Question 10
Complete the analogy.
whisper : shout :: drizzle : ____
Correct answer: B
A shout is a much stronger form of a whisper, and a downpour is a much stronger form of a drizzle. Rain is the general word, not the extreme.
Questions you leave blank are not counted as wrong.
