AGILE : DANCER ::
Answer(s): B
This is an “ideal characteristic” analogy. An effective, or ideal, DANCER is AGILE (nimble), although agility is not a defining characteristic of a dancer. Similarly, an effective, or ideal, worker is diligent (not lazy), although diligence is not a defining characteristic of a worker.
BOAT : WAKE ::
This is an “evidence or result of” analogy. A BOAT creates a WAKE and leaves it behind, across the surface of the water. Similarly, a scalpel (surgeon’s knife) creates a scar and leaves it behind, like a trail, across the surface of the skin. Strengthening the analogy is that a wake is a byproduct of boating, like a scar is a byproduct of cutting with a scalpel.
MULCHED : BURGEON ::
Answer(s): E
This is a “helpful condition for” analogy. Mulch is a soil-enriching mixture that facilitates plant growth. To BURGEON is to begin to grow rapidly or to flourish. Accordingly, soil that has been MULCHED is in an ideal condition for plants to burgeon. Similarly, a razor or knife that has be honed (sharpened) is in an ideal condition to hew (cut or slice).
JOCULAR : SOLEMNITY ::
Answer(s): C
This is a “contrary meaning” analogy. To be JOCULAR is to lack SOLEMNITY. To be latent is to lack visibility. Thus, in each pair, the two words are essentially antonyms. (In each other pair, the two words are essentially synonyms.)
DIATRIBE : BITTERNESS ::
This is a “defining characteristic” analogy. A DIATRIBE is a speech characterized by BITTERNESS. A recapitulation is a summary or synopsis, and hence is characterized by brevity. In both cases, the second word describes the first.
