The most commonly used strategy for solving analogy problems is still the best. You should try to put the word pairs into sentences that make it easier to understand the meaning of the relationship. The sentence doesn’t have to be complicated, but it needs to explain the relationship between the two words.
Example: joey: kangaroo ::
You wouldn’t want to create the sentence “A joey and a kangaroo are both mammals.”
A sentence that explains the relationship would be “A joey is a baby kangaroo”.
To solve the problem you would want to plug in the other answer choices into the sentence that you’ve created. A ____ is a baby ______ . This sentence with its blanks is the template that you will use. By inserting each analogous pair answer choice into those blanks, you should determine which is correct.
