Answer the following analogy questions:
actor : theater as
teacher : children
artist : studio
spoon : scoop
starch : bread
feed : pet as
nurture : child
misbehave : punishment
befriend : enemy
teach : school
rabbit : burrow as
cottage : dwelling
human : house
filly : mare
trumpet : musician
Did you get the right answers? (1,b; 2,a; 3,b) Perhaps you noticed that you need to understand all the words in order to figure out the relationships.
A completed analogy is written thus:
rabbit : burrow :: human : house
The double colon in the center is read "as". The sample analogy sentence should be read, "Rabbit is to burrow as human is to house."
Now, try your hand at making up analogies. Write one analogy for each type of analogy listed below:
cause to effect
part to whole
word to antonym
word to synonym
object to characteristic
time sequence
spatial order
