The review sections that follow give you the information you need to score well on the verbal sections of theAFOQT and theASTB tests.  \nVerbal Analogies  \nVerbal analogy tests measure your ability to reason and see relationships between words.  \nPractice Questions  \nDirections: Choose the answer that best completes the analogy developed at the beginning of each question.  \n1. TOOL is to DRILL as POEM is to:  \nA. SONG  \nB. MACHINE  \nC. SONNET  \nD. BIRD  \nE. NOVEL  \n2. TALK is to SHOUT as DISLIKE is to:  \nA. SCREAM  \nB. DETEST  \nC. FRIGHTEN  \nD. CONTRIBUTE  \nE.

CAREFREE  \nC. FORGETFUL  \nD. INTUITIVE  \nE. NATURAL  \nAnswers and Explanations  \n1. C. An example of a kind of tool is a drill, and an example of a kind of poem is a sonnet.  \n2. B. To talk intensely is to shout, and to dislike intensely is to detest.  \n3. D. The function of a conductor is to lead an orchestra, and the function of a shepherd is to lead a flock.  \n4. A. The opposite of obstinate is compliant, and the opposite of oblivious is conscious.  \n9  \n04  \n54103X  \nCh01 .qxd  \n1/23/04  \n3:07  \nPM  \nPage  \n10  \nPart I: Subject Area Review  \nWord Knowledge and Reading Comprehension  \nWord Knowledge appears on both theAFOQT exam and theASTB exam. The formats ofthe exams differ slightly, however. On theAFOQT exam, you are given a word and then asked to find the synonym from five choices (A–E) . On the ASTB exam, three different types of questions test your vocabulary knowledge. The first type of question is a sentence with a missing word, and you are asked to choose the missing word from among four choices (A–D) . The second type of question is a little more complex. You are given a brief quotation that contains a word that is used incorrectly. You are asked to select, from a choice of five words, the word that would replace the incorrect word and would correctly convey the meaning of the quotation.  \nWord Knowledge  \nLet’s look at the different question types. The first question is the type you will find on the AFOQT.  \n1. CIRCUMVENT  \nA. get over  \nB. go under  \nC. get through  \nD. go around  \nE. go easily  \nThe correct answer is D, go around. This type of question is not tricky. It requires, however, a strong vocabulary. (circum = around, vent = go) . TheAFOQT has a total of 25 questions of this type.  \nThe second type of question is from the ASTB. The question consists of a sentence in which one word is omitted. Select the choice that best completes the sentence.  \n2. Paul was able to   the complainer with a look of contempt.  \nA. squelch  \nB. offend  \nC. assail  \nD. expel  \nThe correct answer is A. To squelch is to silence. This satisfies the meaning of the sentence.  \nThe final type of question is also from the ASTB and is a little more complex. The following quotation contains a word that has been misused. It is not in keeping with the meaning of the quotation. You must first determine which word is incorrect, and then select, from the choices given, the word that would be more appropriate for that quotation.  \n3. “Even while their components vary from culture to culture, rites of adulteration convey status in a new social grouping on the participants.”  \nA. maturity  \nB. ceremony  \nC. initiation  \nD. consumption  \n10  \n04  \n54103X  \nCh01 .qxd  \n1/23/04  \n3:07  \nPM  \nPage  \n11  \nVerbal Review  \nThe correct answer is C. The word adulteration is incorrect. It means to make something impure by adding a foreign substance. Initiation, which means the process of being admitted to something, fits the meaning of the sentence.  \nThe first","cbCaibf7bUgSzRGY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibf7bUgSzRGY","pdf",176557,12,"English","# Verbal Review\n## Verbal Analogies\n## Practice Questions\n## Answers and Explanations\n# Part I: Subject Area Review\n## Word Knowledge and Reading Comprehension\n## Word Knowledge\n## Improving Vocabulary","[{\"question\":\"What skills do the verbal sections of the AFOQT and ASTB tests measure?\",\"answer\":\"They measure vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension, including how well candidates recognize word meanings and relationships.\"},{\"question\":\"How do verbal analogy questions test your abilities?\",\"answer\":\"They assess your ability to reason about relationships between word pairs and choose the option that best completes the analogy.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main Word Knowledge question formats on the AFOQT and ASTB?\",\"answer\":\"On the AFOQT, you choose a synonym from five options.
