Answers:
182.b. Coffee goes into a cup and soup goes into a
bowl. Choices a and c are incorrect because
they are other utensils. The answer is not choice
d because the word food is too general.
183.d. A gym is a place where people exercise. A
restaurant is a place where people eat. Food
(choice a) is not the answer because it is something
people eat, not a place or location where
they eat. The answer is not choice b or c because
neither represents a place where people eat.
184. c. An oar puts a rowboat into motion. A foot puts
a skateboard into motion. The answer is not
choice a because running is not an object that
is put into motion by a foot. Sneaker (choice b)
is incorrect because it is something worn on a
foot. Jumping (choice d) is incorrect because
although you do need feet to jump, jumping is
not an object that is put into motion by means
of a foot.
185.d. A window is made up of panes, and a book is
made up of pages. The answer is not choice a
because a novel is a type of book. The answer is
not choice b because glass has no relationship
to a book. Choice c is incorrect because a cover
is only one part of a book; a book is not made
up of covers.
186. c. Secretly is the opposite of openly, and silently is
the opposite of noisily. Choices a and b are
clearly not the opposites of silently. Choice d
means the same thing as silently.
187.b. An artist makes paintings; a senator makes laws.
The answer is not choice a because an attorney
does not make laws and a senator is not an
attorney. Choice c is incorrect because a senator
is a politician. Constituents (choice d) is
also incorrect because a senator serves his or her
constituents.
188.b. An actor performs in a play. A musician performs
at a concert. Choices a, c, and d are incorrect
because none is people who perform.
189. a. Careful and cautious are synonyms (they mean
the same thing). Boastful and arrogant are also
synonyms. The answer is not choice b because
humble means the opposite of boastful. The
answer is not choice c or d because neither
means the same as boastful.
190.d. A group of lions is called a pride. A group of
fish swim in a school. Teacher (choice a) and
student (choice b) refer to another meaning of
the word school. The answer is not choice c
because self-respect has no obvious relationship
to this particular meaning of school.
191. a. Guide and direct are synonyms, and reduce
and decrease are synonyms. The answer is not
choice b or d because neither means the same
as reduce. Choice c is incorrect because increase
is the opposite of reduce.
192.b. A yard is a larger measure than an inch (a yard
contains 36 inches). A quart is a larger measure
than an ounce (a quart contains 32 ounces).
Gallon (choice a) is incorrect because it is larger
than a quart. Choices c and d are incorrect
because they are not units of measurement.
193. c. A lizard is a type of reptile; a daisy is a type of
flower. Choices a and b are incorrect because a
petal and a stem are parts of a flower, not types
of flowers. Choice d is incorrect because an
alligator is another type of reptile, not a type of
flower.
194.b. Elated is the opposite of despondent; enlightened
is the opposite of ignorant.
195.d. A marathon is a long race and hibernation is a
lengthy period of sleep. The answer is not
choice a or b because even though a bear and
winter are related to hibernation, neither completes
the analogy. Choice c is incorrect because
sleep and dream are not synonymous.
196. a. If someone has been humiliated, they have been
greatly embarrassed. If someone is terrified,
they are extremely frightened. The answer is
not choice b because an agitated person is not
necessarily frightened. Choices c and d are
incorrect because neither word expresses a state
of being frightened.
197.d. An odometer is an instrument used to measure
mileage. A compass is an instrument used to
determine direction. Choices a, b, and c are
incorrect because none is an instrument.
198. a. An optimist is a person whose outlook is cheerful.
A pessimist is a person whose outlook is
gloomy. The answer is not choice b because a
pessimist does not have to be mean. Choices c
and d are incorrect because neither adjective
describes the outlook of a pessimist.
199. c. A sponge is a porous material. Rubber is an
elastic material. Choice a is incorrect because
rubber would not generally be referred to as
massive. The answer is not choice b because
even though rubber is a solid, its most noticeable
characteristic is its elasticity. Choice d is
incorrect because rubber has flexibility.
200.d. Candid and indirect refer to opposing traits.
Honest and untruthful refer to opposing traits.
The answer is not choice a because frank means
the same thing as candid.Wicked (choice b) is
incorrect because even though it refers to a
negative trait, it does not mean the opposite of
honest. Choice c is incorrect because truthful
and honest mean the same thing.
201.d. A pen is a tool used by a poet. A needle is a tool
used by a tailor. The answer is not choice a, b,
or c because none is a person and therefore
cannot complete the analogy.
