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 />

Read this example: Big is to large as thin is to slim .<br />

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

and slim are synonyms.<br />

Complete each analogy by writing a synonym for the first word in<br />

the second pair of words.<br />

1. Take is to grab as break is to .<br />

2. Freedom is to liberty as talk is to .<br />
