Analogies (ANSWERS ARE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION)

Today I have a challenge for you.  We are going to be working with ANALOGIES.  Analogies are a comparison between two things.  In order to be able to solve analogies, you need to understand the relationship between items.

For our analogies today you will have two things that go together like HAND: GLOVE.  You know that a hand is wear a glove is worn.  If I gave you FOOT: __________ . You could think of what you might wear on a foot.  You might respond with sock, shoe, boot, or sandal.  Each analogy has it's own set of relationships.  Think about how the first two things go together and use that as a clue to find the missing item in the second set of things.

You can also read the analogy like this -

"Hand is to Glove the same way Foot is to ________."

Here are some for you to try:

GALLON : QUART :: HOUR : _____________
- CLOCK
- DAY
- TIME
- MINUTE

BEAGLE : DALMATION :: GRIZZLY : ___________
- BEAR
- DEN
- POLAR
