Example and Category

A "bassinet" is a type of "cradle" that has a hood. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine what a "chalice" is an example of. Well, a "chalice" is a goblet, a large "cup" used to drink wine, particularly as part of a religious service. Additionally, a "scholar" is an academic, someone who studies for a living, someone who is well-educated about a subject.

To solve this analogy you first need to know that "androgynous" means having both male and female anatomy, being both male and female. So, if "androgynous" relates to something or someone being both "genders" then you are looking for a word that relates to someone having two "ethnicities." The correct answer is therefore "biracial" which means belonging to two races, belonging to two ethnicities. Additionally, "diverse" means varied; "banal" means monotone, boring.

"Typhoid" is an example of a "disease," so to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these a "typhoon" is an example of. Well, a "typhoon" is a hurricane or a violent "storm."

A "cathedral" is an example of a "church," so to solve this analogy you need to determine what it is that an "almanac" is an example of. Well, an "almanac" is an annual "calendar" that contains relevant information about the year ahead.

Color is a category, and one thing that falls into this category is red—that is, red is a type of color. The same relationship is true of 'onion' and 'vegetable': an onion is an item that falls under the category of vegetable.

The best option is "bench is to seat." The relationship between a "lynx" and a "cat" is that a lynx is a type of cat. Likewise, a bench is a kind of seat. Two other choices share this relationship: "animal is to mouse" and "dog is to coyote." However, the order of the words in each of those answer choices is reversed. Instead of being in the order of example to category as "lynx is to cat"is, the order of these two choices is category to example, which is inappropriate and incorrect.

Since a dalmatian is a type of dog, we're looking for an answer where the second word is a specific variety of the first word. While "sandwich is to bread" may initially look like a decent answer choice because the two words are closely related, bread is a constituent element of a sandwich, not a specific kind of sandwich, so it is not the correct answer. "Cheese is to cheddar," on the other hand, retains the same relationship as "dog is to dalmatian," because cheddar is a type of cheese, just like dalmatian is a type of dog. So, "cheese is to cheddar" is the correct answer.

An apprenticeship is a type of "education" that involves the student studying under a master of a particular craft in order to learn the skills necessary to practice that craft independently.So, if "apprenticeship" is an example of a form of "education," what is a "fresco" an example of? A "fresco" is a type of painting done very quickly on wet plaster before the plaster dries. Additionally, "vocation" means occupation or job, and a "biography" is a true story of someone's life.

An "altercation" is a form of negative, or hostile, conversation, so to solve this analogy you have to determine which answer choice relates to "tirade" in the same manner. "Tirade" means long and angry speech, so the correct answer is “speech.”

Someone who is epicurean is devoted to sensual pleasure, particularly the consumption of food. This is a type of hedonistic behavior. Hedonism is a school of thought directed towards the primacy of the pursuit of pleasure. So to solve this analogy you have to determine which of these answer choices matches with abstemious behavior. Abstemious means moderate and characterized by the denial of excessive food and alcohol consumption. This is a form of “asceticism” which is a type of behavior that focuses on self-denial of luxury. For clarification, "austerity" means severe, antiquated and plain; "apoplexy" means a fit of anger; "asinine" is something ridiculous or pointless.
