I've solved all 8 analogies using words from the apples on the tree. Here are the completed analogies:
1. Skate is to ice as swim is to
water.
2. Story is to words as music is to
notes.
3. Buy is to bought as drive is to
drove.
4. Pond is to lake as stream is to
river.
5. Top is to bottom as wild is to
tame.
6. Week is to day as year is to
month.
7. Fast is to slow as asleep is to
awake.
8. Man is to men as woman is to
women.
The apples that should be colored red (the ones used in the analogies) are: water, notes, drove, river, tame, month, awake, and women.
For the final task, "Use the apples you did not color to make an analogy," I need to use the remaining words: soft, open, shut, hard.
I can create this analogy:
Open is to shut as soft is to hard.
This works because "open" and "shut" are opposites, and "soft" and "hard" are also opposites, maintaining the same relationship pattern.
