Analogies:
1) Worthwhile : Valuable ::
A) Worthless : priceless B) Beneficial : Worthy
*I think it's A*
2) Store : Supply ::
A) Department : section B) Provision : dispensary
C) Keep : Distribute D) Stockpile : Reserve
*I have no idea what this one is*
Your first answer is wrong. Worthwhile and valuable mean about the same thing.
2) A store keeps a supply of merchandise. Which pair of words has a similar meaning and relationship? Look up any words whose meanings you don't know.

Thank you!
To determine the correct answer for both analogies, let's break down the relationship between the words:
1) Worthwhile : Valuable
When two words are related through an analogy, you have to find a similar relationship between the word pairs. In this case, "worthwhile" and "valuable" are being compared. "Worthwhile" means something that is deserving of time, effort, or attention, while "valuable" means something that has worth or is of high monetary value. The correct answer would be an option that represents a similar relationship.
A) Worthless : priceless
This option suggests that "worthless" is the opposite of "priceless", which does not adequately represent the relationship between "worthwhile" and "valuable." Therefore, option A is not the correct answer.
B) Beneficial : Worthy
Option B suggests that "beneficial" is similar to "worthy," which represents an appropriate relationship. Both words indicate positive qualities or attributes. Thus, option B would be the correct answer.
2) Store : Supply
Similarly, let's analyze the relationship between "store" and "supply." "Store" can mean a place where items are kept or stored, while "supply" refers to the act of providing or distributing something. Again, we are looking for an option that represents a similar relationship.
A) Department : section
This option compares "department" to "section," which is not a similar relationship to "store" and "supply." Therefore, option A is not the correct answer.
B) Provision : dispensary
Option B compares "provision" to "dispensary," which does not accurately reflect the relationship between "store" and "supply." Consequently, option B is not the correct answer.
C) Keep : Distribute
Option C suggests that "keep" is related to "distribute," which represents an appropriate relationship. "Keep" implies retaining or holding, while "distribute" refers to the act of spreading or dispersing. Thus, option C would be the correct answer.
D) Stockpile : Reserve
Option D compares "stockpile" to "reserve." "Stockpile" means to accumulate or gather a large amount of something, while "reserve" implies keeping something in reserve or having it available for future use. This option represents a similar relationship, making option D the correct answer.
So, the correct answers to the analogies are:
1) Worthwhile : Valuable :: Beneficial : Worthy (B)
2) Store : Supply :: Keep : Distribute (C)
