What is an analogy? Look for the RELATIONSHIP – that’s the key! a word problem made up of two word pairs a comparison between two different things with similar qualities improves reasoning and vocabulary skills Look for the RELATIONSHIP – that’s the key! SW 1, week 2

How do we solve an analogy? graceful : clumsy :: late : _______ The goal is to find a word that correctly completes the second pair. At first glance the words in an analogy may seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the words are always logically related. Both pairs of words have to have the same kind of relationship. To solve the analogy you need to find that relationship. Read the analogy like this: "Graceful is to clumsy as late is to blank." SW 1, week 2

Early is the best answer. Ask yourself: What is the relationship between graceful and clumsy? Well, they are antonyms—words with opposite meanings. So, the second pair of words must also be antonyms. Fill in the blank with a word that means the opposite of late, and you've solved the analogy. Early is the best answer. SW 1, week 2
