FINGER is to HAND as TOE is to...
Answer: FOOT
The relationship is part to whole. A finger is a part of a hand, just as a toe is a part of a foot. This analogy tests the ability to identify relationships between objects.
HOT is to COLD as TALL is to...
Answer: SHORT
The relationship is antonyms, or opposites. Hot is the opposite of cold. Therefore, the opposite of tall is short. Identifying antonyms is a common verbal reasoning skill.
CARPENTER is to HAMMER as CHEF is to...
Answer: KNIFE
This analogy relates a worker to their primary tool. A carpenter uses a hammer, and a chef uses a knife. The other options are related to a kitchen but are not the chef's primary tool in the same way.

Answer: ILLNESS
The relationship is cause and effect. A spark can cause a fire, and a virus can cause an illness. The analogy requires understanding the causal link between the two words.

Answer: CAT
This analogy relates the young version of an animal to its adult form. A puppy is a young dog, and a kitten is a young cat. It's a straightforward relationship of age and species.
