2012 E.C (2019/20) ACADEMIC YEAR THIRD QUARTER 4 TH ENGLISH NOTE AND WORKSHEET FOR GRADE 12 Name_______________________________ Section _________Date: April 08, 2020 What is an Analogies Test? Verbal analogies tests are standardized psychometric assessment tests (also used on SAT, GRE, and other professional exams) that provide the employing organization with information about a candidate’s general verbal acuity and insight. Verbal analogy tests are designed to assess a candidate’s ability to recognize relationships between ideas, think methodically and fluency in the English language. The questions in the test are designed to assess a candidate’s logical and analytical reasoning through the use of partial analogies. Several relationships between pairs of words are possible. For instance, expect relations such as: 􀁸 P is a defining characteristic of Q. Example: COURAGE : HERO (COURAGE is a defining characteristic of a HERO) . 􀁸 Lack of P is a defining characteristic of Q. Example: HOPE: PESSIMISM (Lack of HOPE is a defining characteristic of PESSIMISM) . 􀁸 X is a type of Y. Example: ANGER: EMOTION (ANGER is a type of EMOTION.) ORANGE: FRUIT (An ORANGE is a type of FRUIT) . 􀁸 X is a part of Y. Example: LETTER : ALPHABET (A LETTER is a part of an ALPHABET) . 􀁸 X is the place for Y. Example: CLINIC : NURSE (A CLINIC is the place for a NURSE) . 􀁸 Relationship of Degree. Example: MOUNTAIN: HILL (A MOUNTAIN is a large HILL) . 􀁸 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 asa 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) .
