Example:
1. What is an analogy?

analogy?
Analogy
It is a comparison of two otherwise unlike things based on resemblance of a
particular aspect.1
Analogy functions to describe or explain one thing by examining its similarities
with another thing. The two things may be very dissimilar and the analogy forces the
reader or listener to understand the connection between them. On the other hand, the
analogy could provide a comparison between two very similar things, one of which
might be more obscure or confusing; the analogy provides a way for a reader or
listener to understand the more obscure thing by picturing the more common thing.2
It aims to test the candidate’s ability to discover the relationship between the
question pair and then to find the required pair of words which is most similar to that
relationship.
• This analogy highlights the relationship between the whole (a TREE and a
FLOWER) and its parts (a LEAF and a PETAL). On test of logic, one portion
of the analogy is left blank and students are left to choose an answer that
makes sense to complete the comparison.
Seven Common Types of Analogy
1. Synonyms – created between two words, when they convey the same
