SAT Test Analogy Questions



SAT Test Analogy Questions

1.) BIRD : NEST :: 

(A) dog : doghouse

(B) squirrel : tree

(C) beaver : dam

(D) cat : litter box

(E) book : library

2.) DALMATIAN : DOG ::

(A) oriole : bird

(B) horse : pony

(C) shark : great white

(D) ant : insect

(E) stock : savings

3.) DOCTOR : HOSPITAL ::

(A) sports fan : stadium

(B) cow : farm

(C) professor : college

(D) criminal : jail

(E) food : grocery store

4.) CUB : BEAR ::

(A) piano : orchestra

(B) puppy : dog

(C) cat : kitten

(D) eagle : predator

(E) fork : utensil

5.) TENET : THEOLOGIAN ::

(A) predecessor : heir

(B) hypothesis : biologist

(C) recluse : rivalry

(D) arrogance : persecution

(E) guitarist : rock band

1.) C.  If you used to general a sentence such as "A bird spends time in a nest", then you would have quickly seen the need to make your sentence more specific to eliminate some of the choices. In any event, choices D (cat : litter box) and E (book : library) should have been relatively easy to eliminate. If you chose the sentence "A bird lives in a nest", you would have had 3 equally good answers so you would need to revise your sentence. A bird builds a nest and a beaver builds a dam.

2.) A.  This is a "type of" analogy question. You may have noticed how easily choices B and C could be eliminated because they are in the reverse order of the questioned pair. Choice E is sort of correct in that stocks are a type of savings instrument, but A is clearly better as the oriole is a species of bird and the analogy is between 2 living things just as the question is. Choice D is good, but once again choice A is better because A also is a "species of" in addition to a "type of".

3.) C.  This is a "place where" analogy question. If you simply made a sentence around the preposition "is found in", (A doctor is found in a hospital) however, you would have quickly realized you had to become a little more specific. A doctor works in a hospital and a professor works in a college.

4.) B.  A good question for this analogy would be "A cub is a young bear". Choice C is close, but the order is reversed. (If we had written C as kitten : cat instead of cat : kitten, we would have provided you with 2 equally correct answers.

5.) B.  Ah, you say, they snuck in a vocabulary analogy they warned me about. A tenet is a belief and a theologian is someone who studies religion. A hypothesis is something a biologist will study as part of his or her professional endeavors. (If you faced a vocabulary issue with this analogy, we strongly recommend a SAT vocabulary book. In fact, even if you knew the meaning of these words, you should still check out a SAT vocabulary book as there are bound to be a few words with which you will not be familiar.
