SENSATION : PARALYSIS ::

  1. sincerity : dishonesty
  2. obesity : diet
  3. insult : injury
  4. apathy : curiosity
  5. scarcity : surplus

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This is a “symptom of” analogy. One sign of PARALYSIS is the lack of SENSATION
(feeling). Similarly, one sign of dieting is the lack of obesity. As for choices A. and (E), the two words in each pair are antonyms. The same can’t be said for sensation and paralysis. Paralysis is not defined by a lack of sensation, but by lack of ability to move.



MUNIFICENT : GENEROSITY ::

  1. dolorous : sorrow
  2. domineering : timidity
  3. indisputable : confidence
  4. fortunate : luck
  5. beguiled : judiciousness

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This is a “defining characteristic” analogy. A MUNIFICENT person is characterized
by great GENEROSITY; similarly, a dolorous person is characterized by great sorrow. Since luck can be either bad or good, choice D. is not as strong an analogy as choice (A).
