Analogies are test questions where a pair of words are given, and you're asked to settle on another pair with an equivalent relationship.

Take the given analogies test and check your level of preparation in Analogies. (Take it as a form of practise for any competitive exam.)

In order to answer an analogy question correctly, you need  to form a logical relationship, or "bridge" between two words. You must believe how the words are related. Since words represent particulars (not universals), there's an almost infinite number of the way they could be related. 

It is the student's job to narrow this number, and specialise in the foremost essential relation -- the foremost basic aspect of the word's function or definition. This page contains analogies worksheets. In this exercise, you must be ready to recognize the connection between the words during a word pair and to acknowledge when two word pairs display parallel relationships. 

To answer an analogy question, you want to formulate the connection between the words within the given word pair then select the solution containing words associated with each other in most nearly the same way. 

 In this exercise each question has four answer choices, and 10 questions total.
