 Introduction

Welcome to 501 Word Analogy Questions! This book is

designed to help you prepare for the verbal and reasoning sections of
many assessment and entrance exams. By completing the exercises in
this book, you will develop the skills necessary to tackle each type of
analogy question.
Many standardized tests—including high school entrance exams,
the SATs, civil service exams, the GREs, and others—use analogy
questions to test both logic and reasoning skills and word knowledge.
These questions ask test takers to identify relationships between pairs
of words. In order to solve analogy questions, you must first have a
clear understanding of the words’ definitions and then use that
understanding to determine how the words are related.
Analogy questions are often described as “blank is to blank as blank
is to blank.” So for example, puppy : dog :: kitten : ______, is read
“puppy is to dog as kitten is to blank.” The answer is, of course, “cat.”
However, the “blank is to blank” format does not really answer the
question precisely. More accurately, you might describe the
relationship between puppy and dog as “a puppy is a young dog.” To

determine the missing
the following word,
choices— to you might say “a kitten is a young . . . ”
The key to solving an analogy question is to precisely describe the
relationship between the pair of words and then apply the same
relationship to determine which word completes the analogy.
Most analogy questions rely on your ability to deduce the correct
relationship
complete the between
secondwords
pair.and to draw logical conclusions about the
possible answer choices. For example in the question “Sherpa : Tibet
Massai : ______,” you can probably guess the correct answer from

eral general
even if you types.
do not know the exact meaning of the words in the
question. The correct answer is Kenya—Sherpa are people who live in
Tibet and Massai are people who live in Kenya. Even if you were
unable to describe the relationship between the words because they
are unfamiliar,
■ you could probably see that Kenya is the only country
offered as a choice. As you know that Tibet , a country, is the second
half of the first pair, you can deduce that a country is necessary The
■
relationships that are found in analogy questions fall into sev-

■
Part to Whole. In this type of question, a pair of words
consists of a part and a whole. For example, spoke :
wheel. A spoke is part of a wheel.
Type and Category. These questions use pairs of words in
■
which one word is a specific type in a general category. For
example, orange : citrus. An orange is a type of citrus.
Degree of Intensity. These questions test your ability to
■
discern nuance of meaning among pairs of words. For
example, shower : monsoon. A shower is light rainfall and a
monsoon is heavy rainfall.
Function. These questions pair words that are related
through function. For example, hammer : build. A
hammer is used to build.
Manner. This type of analogy describes the manner, way, or
style by which an action is accomplished. For example,

manner. 501 Word Analogy, Questions

then Ag would be an excellent
■
shamble : walk. Shamble means to walk in an awkward

Symbol or representation. These questions pair words in

■
which one word is the symbol of the other. For example,
dove : peace. A dove is a symbol of peace.
 a. NaAction and significance. In this type of analogy one word
b. Cldescribes an action and the other word indicates the
c. Agsignificance of the action. For example, cry : sorrow. To cry
d. Ksignifies sorrow.

Analogy questions can also be used to test word knowledge and

factual content. Word knowledge questions are generally pairs of
synonyms or pairs of antonyms. For example, tardy : ______ :: liberal :
generous. Liberal and generous are synonyms, therefore you would
look for a synonym of tardy among the answer choices. Factual
content questions
the French demand

cannot beguess.
deduced from the relationship alone. For example:

iron : Fe :: silver : ______

In this case you need to know that the chemical symbol for silver is
Ag. Even though these questions require some basic knowledge you
can still apply logic to the question. For example, if you know that the
chemical name for table salt is NaCl, you can eliminate these two
answers. This leaves you with Ag and K. If you happen to know that

There is a final type of analogy question that is purely a logic test.

These questions pair seemingly unrelated words. The relationship is
found in the arrangement of the letters. For example:

xi

a. amend 501 Word Analogy Questions

about : bout :: ______ : mend
b. near
 In this case,
c. the
tearanswer is amend because that is the word formed by
adding d.
andismiss
“a” in front of mend. You will also find scrambled words and
anagrams in this category of analogies.
The questions increase in difficulty as you move through each set of
exercises. Because this book is designed for many levels of test takers,
you may find that some of the more advanced questions are beyond
your ability. If you are using this book to study for a high school
entrance exam, you may get a number of questions that appear later
in a section wrong. Don’t worry! If you are getting the earlier
questions correct, you are probably in good shape for your test.
However, if you are studying for a graduate-level exam such as the
GRE or the MAT, the full range of questions presented is appropri-

501 Word Analogy Questions
wrong answer choices through practice. At first, there may seem to be
many different reasons for getting various questions wrong. At closer
look, however, there may be a pattern to your wrong answers. Test
preparers often spend as much time on wrong answer choices as they
do the right answer. For instance, let’s consider this analogy and

warm : hot :: ______ : hilarious

answer choices:

a. humid
b. raucous
To come up with the correct answer, you must first figure out the
c. summer
relationship. This is an analogy of degrees. Warm is less intense than
d. amusing
hot, therefore what answer choice is something that is less intense
than hilarious? The right answer is d
amusing being less intense than hilarious. To illustrate how some test
takers get led astray by carefully crafted wrong answer choices, let’s

because humid is related to the first word pair, warm and

hot, but it is not part of the analogy of degree. This choice is offered
as
takeana option for the
closer look careless reader. Other test takers will choose
at choices
because
sively pickthey
a have misunderstood the analogy. They may think that
the word pair, warm : hot, is a synonym pair, showing faulty reason
a slightly different case. Wrong answers may
also be chosen because of the test taker’s predisposition. In this
example, summer is chosen because warm : hot reminds the test
taker of summer. These are all illustrations of ways in which test takers

can get thrown off or distracted by wrong answer choices. Careful,
close reading, and lots of practice will help you to avoid the wrong
answer trap. And remember, as time runs out, you are more prone to
make careless mistakes, so read carefully , based on

calm. Your
reasoning skills and power of logic work better when you are not

Some test takers will impul-

501 Word Analogy Questions
 Finally, let’s tackle the time issue. Most assessment tests are timed,
and time can be an important factor with analogy questions. Most
test takers have the necessary knowledge to answer the majority of
analogy questions, what many test takers don’t have is the ability to
answer the questions quickly. As you become more familiar with
analogy questions, you will find that you can answer the questions
more quickly. You will be able to move through the basic questions
with confidence and allow yourself more time with the advanced
questions without feeling the pressure of the clock.
Each chapter contains between 35 and 50 questions, and the
correct answers are explained at the end of each chapter. The answer
section provides you with not only the right answer, but also the
relationship that is used to solve the analogy. Use your performance
to create a study guide. For example, examine your answers to
determine if a particular type of analogy question is giving you
trouble. You may also find that your lack of word knowledge is causing
you to answer questions incorrectly. In this case you can spend time
studying word lists to improve your performance. If you are simply
having trouble with the more difficult questions, then more practice is
the answer. If you are looking for more challenging analogies, Chapter
12 is made up of more difficult analogy questions. In addition, if you
are studying for the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), don’t miss
Chapter 13, which contains analogies that are great practice for this

You have already taken an important step toward improving your

score. You have shown your commitment by purchasing this book.
Now all you need to do is complete each exercise, study the answers,
and watch your ability to solve analogies increase. You can even work
in pencil and do the exercises again to reinforce what you have
