Let’s go through each analogy one by one. We’ll think about how the first pair relates, then find the word from the box that makes the second pair relate in the same way.
---
1. Finger is to hand as toe is to ______.

2. Cup is to saucer as knife is to ______.
- A cup often goes with a saucer (they’re used together at the table).
- What does a knife go with? Usually a fork! They’re both utensils used together.
→ Answer:
fork
*(Wait — let’s check the word box: “cup” is there too, but that doesn’t make sense here. Knife and cup aren’t typically paired. Fork fits better.)*
Actually — hold on! Let’s double-check. Sometimes people say “knife and fork”, yes. But also, maybe “knife and plate”? No, plate isn’t in the box. “Cup” is in the box — but knife and cup? Not really a pair. “Fork” is definitely the best match.
→ Still:
fork
