Teacher is to classroom as scientist is to__________.

可能的答案:

labyrinth

biology

experiment

lavatory

laboratory

Correct answer:

laboratory

Explanation:

A "teacher" works inside a "classroom," similar to how a "scientist" works inside a "laboratory." A scientist may study "biology" or perform "experiments," but he does not work inside either of them. To further help you, a "lavatory" is awashroom or bathroom; a "labyrinth" is acomplex maze.

Example Question #13 :Location, Time, Or Context

Analogies: Complete this analogy.

Library is to book as__________.

可能的答案:

bee is to hive

zoo is to monkey

tree is to forest

museum is to painting

money is to bank

Correct answer:

museum is to painting

Explanation:

The best answer is "museum is to painting," as a museum houses paintings for public viewing, much like how a library keeps books for public reading. Some of the other answer choices may be tempting, but are switched in structure, such as "money is to bank" instead of "bank is to money." "Zoo is to monkeys," may also be a tempting answer choice, but is too specific ("Zoo is to animal" would be a much better choice).

Example Question #14 :Location, Time, Or Context

Complete this analogy.

Milk is to dairy as bread is to__________.

可能的答案:

harvest

bakery

toast

sandwich

edible

Correct answer:

bakery

Explanation:

Milk is produced by cows at a dairy, but "dairy" could also refer to the group of food items to which milk belongs, as milk is a "dairy product." To figure out which of these analogies is at work, we should consider the answer choices through each lens to see in which way the correct answer relates to "bread." None of the answer choices describe a category to which bread belongs (like in the "milk is to dairy product" relationship), so we need to find an answer choice that describes the location at which bread is produced. Bread is produced at a bakery, just as milk is produced at a dairy, so "bakery" is the correct answer.

Example Question #15 :Location, Time, Or Context

卧室is to sleep as kitchen is to__________.

可能的答案:

hungry

cook

dance

refrigerator

snooze

Correct answer:

cook

Explanation:

年代ince a bedroom is a room in which one sleeps, we need to pick out a word that describes an action that typically takes place in a kitchen. Of the possible answer choices that are verbs - "dance," "cook," and "snooze," "cook" makes the most sense. Since just as you sleep in a bedroom, you cook in a kitchen, "cook" is the correct answer.

Example Question #16 :Location, Time, Or Context

Complete this analogy.

Emaciated is to food as__________is to education.

可能的答案:

teacher

hungry

school

ignorant

homework

Correct answer:

ignorant

Explanation:

To solve this analogy you first need to know that "emaciated" meansstarving, extremely skinny due to lack of food. So, if someone who is denied "food" becomes "emaciated" what does someone become who is denied "education?" The correct answer is "ignorant," which meanslacking in knowledge, not understanding something.

Example Question #17 :Location, Time, Or Context

Complete this analogy.

Anemic is to energy as__________is to hair.

可能的答案:

shave

fur

bald

sleep

old

Correct answer:

bald

Explanation:

To solve this analogy you first need to know that "anemic" meanslacking color and energy. So, someone who is lacking "energy" is "anemic," what is someone who is lacking "hair" called? The correct answer is, of course, "bald."
