An analogy is a comparison of two pairs of words. Synonyms, or<br />
words with the same meaning, can be used in analogies. The two<br />
words in the first pair match in the same way that the two words in<br />
the second pair match.<br />

The words big and large are synonyms, and the words thin<br />
and slim are synonyms.<br />

the second pair of words.<br />
