What is an analogy?
A comparison between two things, for the purpose of explanation or
clarification.
Got a Trick for This?
• The key to figuring out a set of word analogies is determining the relationship between the paired set of words.
Umm … What does that mean?
• Presented for your viewing pleasure is a list of relationships that will help you to determine how to solve the analogy problem.
• Synonyms are words that have the same meaning.
• Lets talk dots…(: is to /:: as) But it makes more sense if you put it in a sentence
• For Example:– Bizarre : Weird :: Cute : Pretty.– ‘Bizarre’ is the similar meaning of ‘weird’ just as
‘cute’ has a similar meaning to ‘pretty’
• You Try:
– Annoyed : Irritated :: Find : ____________
Discovered
• Antonyms are words that mean the opposite
• Example:–detest : admire :: disagree :
concede •Detest is the opposite of admire whereas disagree is the opposite of concede.
• You Try:– kind : cruel :: find : __________
lose
• A cause and effect analogy is a pair of words whose relationship has two parts. Cause is an action of some kind and effect is the result of that action. For example, rain : wet. The cause is the rain. Rain is the action that is occurring. The effect is wet. Wet is the resulting action caused by the rain.
• Example:– cut : bleed :: wound : pain
• You Try:– Gift (causes) Joy :: Detention(Causes)
___________ anger
• Analogies where one word is a smaller part of the other word
• Example:– Prefix : word :: ingredient : recipe– A Preffix is a small part of a whole
word much like ingredients are part of the whole recipe
• You Try:– Chapter : Book :: fender: ___________
car
• Classification analogies can be similar to characteristic analogies, whereby one of the word pairs is an attribute of the other.
• Example: – Dog : Pet :: Jazz : Music– Remember to use “a Type of..”
• You Try:– Polka : Dance :: Call of Duty :
_________________Video
game
• People and things are usually described by their special qualities, or characteristics.
• Example: A bully, for example, could be described as aggressive, but not as affectionate. – pirate : brazen :: beggar : destitute
• You Try:– Dog : Loyal :: Cat : ________________
sly
• Analogies of degree show greater or lesser extent (puddle / pond) or intensity (cool / icy).
• Example: – tan : brown :: pink : red
• You Try: (try using “is a little” and “Like”)– Chuckle : laugh :: whimper :
____________
weep
• Analogy pairs where one of the words describes the function or purpose of the other
• Example:– eye : see :: ear : hear– The function of an eye is to see just
as an ear’s function is to hear.
• You Try:– Knife : Cut :: Pen : ___________________
write
• Analogies where one word in the pair tells us what the other is expected to do.
• Example:• Dancer : Dance :: Rock Star :
Sing• You Try:• Author : Write :: Chef :
____________
cook
• When one of words in the analogy pair is what is expected to be used by the other.
• Example:– Cop : handcuffs :: mechanic :
wrench• You Try:• Cashier : Cash :: Plumber :
___________
pipes
• When one of words in the analogy pair is an action that you use it for.
• Example:– Bake : Cake :: Peel : orange
• You Try:• Boil : Egg :: Throw : ____________
