I answered two of your analogies.

Now it's your turn.

I'll be glad to check you answers.

Do you have a word list from which to choose?

insolvent : rich :: penniless : millionaire

(poor,flush,millionaire,pauper)

mischief : violence :: teasing :insult
(attack,harmless,compliment,teasing)

squirrel : nuts :: miser : money
(miser,wallet,selfish,spendthrift)

pebble : rock :: minnow : fish
(gravel,rock,sand,mountain)

blush :embarrassed::fume:angry
(smile,temper,angry,worried)

water : drip :: mitt : baseball
(bat,water,bucket,tennis)

perfume : fragrant :: garbage : smell
(trash,fetid,sweet,smell)

seasoned : young :: inexperienced :
novice
(young,experienced,veteran, amateur)

I TRIED MY BEST, AM I CORRECT ?

I disagree with these:

water : drip :: mitt : baseball
(bat,water,bucket,tennis)

A mitt catches a baseball. What catches a drip?

Please rethink these analogies.


perfume : fragrant :: garbage : smell
(trash,fetid,sweet,smell)

seasoned : young :: inexperienced :
novice
(young,experienced,veteran, amateur)

The first step to answering analogies is to identify the relationship between the first pair of words. Then, you can apply that same relationship to the second pair of words to find the missing term.

1. insolvent : rich :: penniless : _________
In this analogy, the relationship is between opposites. Insolvent is the opposite of rich, just like penniless is the opposite of wealthy. Therefore, the missing term would be wealthy.

2. mischief : violence :: _______ insult
To determine the missing term, we need to identify the relationship between mischief and violence. Mischief can be considered a less severe form of wrongdoing, just as an insult can be considered a less severe form of violence. Therefore, the missing term would be verbal.

3. squirrel : nuts :: _________ : money
In this analogy, we need to identify the relationship between squirrel and nuts. Squirrels collect and store nuts, just like humans collect and value money. Therefore, the missing term would be human.

4. pebble : _________ :: minnow : fish
To find the missing term, we must understand the relationship between pebble and minnow (a small type of fish). A pebble can be considered the smallest unit of a pile, just as a minnow can be considered the smallest type of fish. Therefore, the missing term would be pile.

5. blush : embarrassed :: fume : __________
To determine the missing term, we need to identify the relationship between blush and embarrassed. Blushing is a physical reaction that can indicate embarrassment, just like fuming (being extremely angry) can indicate frustration or anger. Therefore, the missing term would be angry.

6. _________ : drip :: mitt : baseball
In this analogy, we need to identify the relationship between the first pair of words. A mitt is an item used in association with baseball, just like a drip is a continuous action of dropping liquid. Therefore, the missing term would be faucet.

7. perfume : fragrant :: garbage : _______
To find the missing term, we must understand the relationship between perfume and fragrant. Perfume is a pleasant and pleasing scent, just as garbage is an unpleasant and foul smell. Therefore, the missing term would be odorous.

8. seasoned : ___ :: inexperienced : novice
For this analogy, we need to find the term that corresponds to the relationship between seasoned and inexperienced. A seasoned person is experienced or skilled, just like an inexperienced person is a novice or a beginner. Therefore, the missing term would be skilled.
