Understanding Analogy Questions
• Analogies show different relationships between words
• Each analogy question has two pairs of words
• Presented in a mathematical equation- : means is to- :: means as- For example, girl : boy : : lady : man girl is to be as lady is to man

7 Types of Analogies• Synonym• Antonym• “Type of”• “Part-to-whole”• “Object-to-function”• “Lack-of-something”• “A-place-for”
![Page 6: Test Taking. Types of Tests Objective Subjective](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e415503460f94b32644/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Synonym Analogies• A synonym is
– a word is the same or similar meaning as another
• Find words that are parallel in meaning
• 2nd pair of words must mirror the relationship in the first pair
• Example: - Prevent : stop : : view : look

Antonym Analogies• An antonym is
– A word that has the opposite meaning as another word
• Relationship between the two pairs must mirror each other
• Example: - foe : friend : : enemy : pal

“Type of” Analogies
• An object belongs to a class of objects
• What is the relationship in the first pair of words?
• Example: – red : color : : thyme : herb
![Page 9: Test Taking. Types of Tests Objective Subjective](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e415503460f94b32644/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Part-to-Whole” Analogies
• How is one word in each pair a part of the other word in the same pair?
• Example: – toe : foot : : finger : hand
![Page 10: Test Taking. Types of Tests Objective Subjective](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e415503460f94b32644/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Lack-of-Something”• One word in each pair lacks some a
quality
• Must reflect the same relationship, in the same order
• Example: hermit : friends : : begger : money
![Page 11: Test Taking. Types of Tests Objective Subjective](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e415503460f94b32644/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Object-to-Function” Analogies
• Determine the function of a certain tool or item

![Page 12: Test Taking. Types of Tests Objective Subjective](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649e415503460f94b32644/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“A-Place-for” Analogies

“Lack-of-Something” Analogy

• Order of word use is important
Example:- hermit : friends : : coward : courage

Solving Analogies• Create precise relationships
- re example on page 179
• Be creative, but don’t over think the solution
• Go for the most logical and obvious answer, when in doubt
