Tools used by professionals- Some analogies are based upon the connection between a person and the tool that person uses or upon a tool and the result that it achieves. Example: SCALPEL: SURGEON (A SCALPEL is the tool of a SURGEON).
X is a sign of Y. Example: TREMBLING : FEARTREMBLING is a sign of FEAR.
Sequence- In this type of connection, one event follows another, either as a matter of logic or sequence, or as an effect follows its cause. We also include in this category analogies in which one event prevents or interrupts another. Example: ENGAGEMENT: MARRIAGE (An ENGAGEMENT comes before a MARRIAGE.)
X is a spurious form of Y. In this type of analogy, one idea is a spurious or defective form of the other. Example: BRAVADO: BRAVERY (BRAVADO is spurious (or false) BRAVERY).
