Set 12 (Answers begin on page 113.)
Here is the first of several sets of analogies. Analogies
test your ability to see relationships between words,
objects, or concepts. There are many different types of
analogy relationships: use or function, part-to-whole,
classification, proportion or degree, cause and effect,
similarity or difference. In each of these verbal analo-
gies, you will be given a set of two related words, fol-
lowed by a third word and four answer choices. Of the
four choices, you must identify the one that would best
complete the second set so that it expresses the same
relationship as the first set. A good way to figure out
the relationship in a given question is to make up a
sentence that describes the relationship between the
first two words. Then, try to use the same sentence to
find out which of the answer choices completes the
same relationship with the third word.
