HAND : GNARLED ::
Answer(s): D
This is a type of “symptom or manifestation” analogy. A HAND may become GNARLED (knotted and twisted) with age, just as a brow may become creased (wrinkled or ridged) with age. Gnarls and creases are each a manifestation of gradual deterioration. Since a tire goes flat abruptly and for one of many possible reasons, choice E. is not as strong an analogy as choice (D).
OSCILLATE : PENDULUM ::
Answer(s): E
This is an “inherent function” analogy. A PENDULUM is designed to OSCILLATE (move back and forth); similarly, an automobile is designed to travel.
ARCHITECT : CREATIVE ::
Answer(s): B
This is as “ideal characteristic” analogy. Ideally, an ARCHITECT is CREATIVE; similarly, an ideal soldier is one who is obedient; that is, one who obeys the orders of a superior officer. Choice B. is incorrect because disloyalty is not just an ideal characteristic of a traitor; it is the defining characteristic.
DESIGNATION : STIGMA ::
This is a “negative form of” analogy. A STIGMA (mark or sign of disgrace) is an unwanted DESIGNATION. Similarly, a predicament (difficult situation) is an unwanted circumstance.
TEACHER : INSTRUCTION ::
This is an “inherent function” analogy. The function of a TEACHER is to provide INSTRUCTION for another; similarly, the function of a guard is to provide protection for another. As for choice (D), although the “function” of a student might be said to learn, it is not to provide learning for another. So choice E. is not as strong an analogy as choice (D).
