To fill in the blanks with the words "automatic," "tenant," and "volley," you need to find words that are similar to the given words in each sentence. Here's how you can approach each sentence:

1. The clue in the first sentence is "OCCUPANT is to _________ as CHILDISH is to JUVENILE." You need to find a word that is similar to "occupant" just as "childish" is similar to "juvenile." The word that fits is "tenant." So, the completed sentence is: OCCUPANT is to TENANT as CHILDISH is to JUVENILE.

2. In the second sentence, the clue is "BY HAND is to _________ as PALE is to BRIGHT." The words "by hand" and "pale" are contrasting with their respective counterparts. The word you are looking for should have a similar relationship to "bright" as "by hand" has to "pale." The correct word is "automatic." Therefore, the completed sentence is: BY HAND is to AUTOMATIC as PALE is to BRIGHT.

3. The last sentence has the clue "BARRAGE is to _________ as TOUGH is to CHALLENGING." Again, you need to find a word that is similar to "barrage" in the same way that "tough" is related to "challenging". The correct word to complete the sentence is "volley." Hence, the completed sentence is: BARRAGE is to VOLLEY as TOUGH is to CHALLENGING.

So, the final filled-in sentences are:

1. OCCUPANT is to TENANT as CHILDISH is to JUVENILE.
2. BY HAND is to AUTOMATIC as PALE is to BRIGHT.
3. BARRAGE is to VOLLEY as TOUGH is to CHALLENGING.
