FISH : AQUARIUM ::
Answer(s): E
This is a “place or environment for” analogy. FISH are kept in an AQUARIUM, an environment created by humans. Birds are kept in an aviary, also an environment created by humans. Lions live in dens, and insects live in the ground, but these environments are natural—they’re not humancreated. An automobile can be kept in a garage, but an automobile has no natural environment.
SPARK : CONFLAGRATION ::
Answer(s): C
This is a “degree of” analogy. A SPARK is a very small fire, while a CONFLAGRATION is a very large fire. The relationship is one of degree. Similarly, a drizzle is a very light rain, while a downpour is very heavy rain.
INTERLOPER : MEDDLE ::
This is a “defining characteristic” analogy. An INTERLOPER seeks to MEDDLE (interfere) in the affairs of another. An advocate (ally) will espouse (support or defend) a particular viewpoint or cause. In both cases, the second word describes the inherent objective of the first.
WALK : AMBLE ::
Answer(s): A
This is a “form of” analogy. To AMBLE is to WALK unhurriedly without a predetermined destination. To tinker is to work aimlessly without a predetermined direction.
