INNOVATION : PRECEDENT ::
Answer(s): E
This is a “contrary meaning” analogy. An INNOVATION is a new idea that lacks PRECEDENT (an earlier instance or example). Similarly, an illusion by definition lacks veracity (truthfulness). Choice D. is the second- best choice: to renovate is to renew or improve something older, such as an antique. However, something renovated can still be antique
TREMBLE : FEAR ::
This is a “sign or manifestation of” analogy. To TREMBLE is to exhibit a certain physiological symptom, or manifestation, of FEAR; similarly, to weep is to exhibit a physiological manifestation of grief. Choice D. is the second- best choice: an adoring person might follow the object of his or her adoration. But this manifestation is not physiological, nor is it as inexorable as trembling or weeping (as manifestations of fear and grief, respectively).
WATERMARK : PAPER ::
Answer(s): D
This is a “function or purpose” analogy. A WATERMARK is a faint design embedded in PAPER in order to identify the paper’s maker. A badge is worn by an employee to identify both that employee and the employer—the “maker” of the employee.
COTTON : SOFT ::
This is a “intrinsic aspect or quality” analogy. COTTON is SOFT to the touch; similarly, an iron is hard to the touch. These are both inherent tactile characteristics.
