Step-by-step solution for: Analogy Worksheets - TheWorksheets.CoM - TheWorksheets Library
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Analogies" with a set of analogy problems to solve. Based on the visible content, here's how to approach and solve each analogy:
---
An analogy is a comparison between two things that have similar relationships. The format is usually:
> A is to B as C is to ___
You need to find the word that completes the relationship in the same way.
Let’s go through each item one by one.
---
#### 1. Sun is to day as ________ is to night.
- Answer: Moon
- Explanation: The sun is associated with the day; similarly, the moon is associated with the night.
#### 2. Calm is to storm as ________ is to peace.
- Answer: War
- Explanation: A storm disrupts calm; war disrupts peace. So, "storm" is the opposite of "calm", just as "war" is the opposite of "peace".
#### 3. Teacher is to student as doctor is to ________.
- Answer: Patient
- Explanation: A teacher instructs a student; a doctor treats a patient. The relationship is professional to recipient of service.
#### 4. Book is to chapter as ________ is to paragraph.
- Answer: Sentence
- Explanation: A book is made up of chapters; a paragraph is made up of sentences. So, the smaller unit within the larger one.
#### 5. Cold is to warm as ________ is to wet.
- Answer: Dry
- Explanation: Cold and warm are opposites; wet and dry are opposites.
#### 6. Apple is to fruit as carrot is to ________.
- Answer: Vegetable
- Explanation: Apple is a type of fruit; carrot is a type of vegetable.
#### 7. Energy is to power as ________ is to strength.
- Answer: Muscle
- Explanation: Energy gives power; muscle provides strength. Or think: energy is the source of power, just as muscle is the source of strength.
#### 8. Quarter is to dollar as ________ is to year.
- Answer: Month
- Explanation: A quarter is 1/4 of a dollar; a month is roughly 1/12 of a year — but more likely, the intended analogy is quarter (of a year) → season? Wait — actually:
- A quarter (in finance) is 3 months → so quarter : year = month : year? Not quite.
- But if it's “quarter” as in one-fourth, then:
> Quarter is to dollar as third is to dollar? No.
- Better: Quarter is to dollar as month is to year? That would be quarter (3 months) : year = month : year → not parallel.
- Actually: Quarter is 1/4 of a dollar; Season is 1/4 of a year.
- So answer should be: Season
- ✔ Answer: Season
#### 9. Dolphin is to mammal as ________ is to bird.
- Answer: Eagle
- Explanation: Dolphin is a type of mammal; eagle is a type of bird.
#### 10. Dog is to bark as cat is to ________.
- Answer: Meow
- Explanation: Dogs bark; cats meow. Sound made by the animal.
