    Lesson 1: Completing an Analogy

    ANALOGY

    An analogy shows the relationships between words. It


    states the likeness between two things that are
    otherwise unlike. Analogies may enable one to learn
    new words by recognizing the relationship between
    words.
    Examples: English : language :: Mathematics : arithmetic
    ANALOGY

    The colon (:) is used to split the analogy into two parts. The first part is
    the left-hand side of the double colon, “English : Language,” while the
    second part is the right hand side, “Mathematics : Arithmetic.” Keep in
    mind that the first set of words presents a relationship that is the same
    or alike as the second set of words.
    One possible way to read or verbalize an analogy is like this example:
    English is to language as Mathematics is to Arithmetic.
    Analogies have varied types such as:

    a. Synonyms – words possessing the same meaning


    e.g. happy: joyful :: pretty: cute

    b. Antonym – words opposite to each other in terms of meaning


    e.g. huge: tiny :: hot: cold

    c. Part and whole – where several objects comprise or make up a group


    e. g. heart: circulatory :: lungs: respiratory

    d. Characteristics – mostly comprises descriptions of items


    e.g. smart: teacher :: board eraser: dusty
    f. Function – shows what a certain object is for or explains its use
    e.g. keyboard: type :: stove: cook

    e. Cause and Effect – showing cause-and-effect relationship


    e.g. study: graduate :: hard work: success
