Explanation
HOW TO APPROACH ANALOGY QUESTIONS: Begin by creating a 'test sentence' that clearly describes the connection between the two words in the question. Then, try inserting each pair of words from the options into this sentence to find the one that fits best. For example, consider the pair CRUMB : BREAD. A crumb is a tiny fragment that breaks off from bread. Similarly, among the options, 'Splinter : Wood' shows a comparable relationship because a splinter is a small piece that comes off wood. The other pairs do not share this same relationship. For instance, a candle produces light but is not a fragment of light; fire results from a spark, not the other way around; a hillock is smaller than a mountain, which is a size comparison; milk is used to make butter, but butter is not a small part of milk. STRATEGIES FOR SOLVING ANALOGY QUESTIONS: 1) Understand the meanings of all words involved. 2) Formulate a sentence that explains the relationship between the words in the question. 3) Use this sentence to test each option, eliminating those that do not match. If unsure, remove clearly incorrect choices to improve your chances of selecting the right answer.
