Examples of Word Analogies
You will find word analogies, or verbal analogies, used in standardized tests and sometimes in job interviews where you must show the relationship between two objects or concepts using logic and reasoning. These analogies are set up in a standard format. For example:
➖tree : leaf :: flower : petal
This analogy is read aloud as:Tree is to leaf as flower is to petal.This analogy highlights the relationship between the whole (a tree and a flower) and its parts (a leaf and a petal). On tests of logic, one portion of the analogy is left blank and students are left to choose an answer that makes sense to complete the comparison. For example:dog : puppy :: cat : _______To solve the analogy, you must first determine the relationship between dog and puppy. Once you realize that a puppy is a baby dog, you can find the corresponding relationship for a cat. A baby cat is a kitten, so the completed analogy is
➖Dog : puppy :: cat :kitten
Though there is no limit to the possibilities when it comes to word analogies, here are some examples to familiarize yourself with the concept:
➖ hammer : nail :: comb : hair
➖ white : black :: up : down
➖ mansion : shack :: yacht : dinghy
➖ short : light :: long : heavy
➖ bees : hive :: bears : den
➖ speak : sing :: walk : dance
➖ chef : food :: sculptor : stone
➖ like : love :: dislike : hate
Analogies, Similes and Metaphors
Analogies, similes and metaphors are closely related, but they are not the same. Because making comparisons is so useful in both speaking and writing, they are all key literary devices, but an analogy is more of a logical argument than a simple figure of speech. You may have noticed that some common analogies are built around similes but extend the comparison.
Similes
A simile compares two things using the words "like" or "as" to create a new meaning. These comparisons are direct and typically easy to understand. For example:
➖ As sly as a fox
➖ As stubborn as a mule
➖ As blind as a bat
➖ Crazy like a fox
➖ Quick like a cat
Metaphors
Metaphors are a figure of speech used to make comparisons. These comparisons describe one thing in terms of another, but without using the words "like" or "as". For example, describing a woman in terms of a flower can highlight her beauty:
➖"Her petal-soft smile blossomed in the morning sun."
In this case, the woman's lips are described as petals that blossom, so the comparison creates an association between the qualities of a woman and a flower without directly saying it.While metaphors are often extensive, here are a few brief examples:
➖ You are the wind beneath my wings.
➖He is a diamond in the rough.
➖Life is a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs.
➖America is the great melting pot.
➖My mother is the warden at my house.
