Interpretation<br />
Analogies are based on relationships between word meanings, such as:<br />
• antonyms (opposites) – Missing : Found<br />
• synonyms (alike) – Detective : Investigator<br />
• descriptive – Large Bird: Ivory-billed woodpecker<br />
• part to whole (or whole to part) – Minutes : Hour<br />
• item to category (or category to item) – Nozomi : Spacecraft<br />
Decide how the first pair of words relates to each other. Write the type of analogy first. Then write a word to<br />
complete the analogy.<br />
(a) Fingerprint : Finger / Thumbprint :<br />
(b) Seek : Hide / Run :<br />
(c) Criminal : Outlaw / Detective :<br />
(d) Bin Laden : / Hoover : Crime fighter<br />
(e) Mysterious : Disappearances / : Bermuda Triangle<br />
