Analogy Questions for SAT-I/GRE Exams

"An analogy tests your ability to recognize pairs of words that have similar relationships. Your job is to determine the relationship between the original pair of words, we'll call them the 'stem words', and find an answer choice in which the words have the same relationship."

(Cracking the GRE, The Princeton Review, 2008 Edition, page 38)

Kitaptaki açıklamalı çözüm özetle şöyle verilmiş:

"What's the relationship? In this case, we might say, 'Friction causes abrasion.' Just define one word in terms of the other. In other words, make a 'defining' sentence.

A) Does sterility cause cleanliness? No. So cross off choice (A)
B) Does a dam cause a flood? No. Eliminate this choice.
C) Does a laceration (a cut in the skin from a sharp object) cause a wound? Nope. Get rid of this choice.
D) Does heat cause evaporation? Maybe. Let's keep this choice and look at the last choice.
E) Does literacy cause ignorance? No way.

So, by Process of Elimination, the best answer choice for this analogy question must be (D), heat : evaporation

Not: Analogy türü sorular özellikle ABD ve Kanada ile Avrupa'daki bazı ülkelerin (İsviçre, Hollanda, vb) üniversitelerinde lisans, yüksek lisans veya doktora eğitimleri için gereken SAT-I (www.collegeboard.com tarafından yapılıyor) ve GRE (Graduate Record Exam) (www.ets.org tarafından yapılıyor) sınavlarında mutlaka sorulduğundan, böyle planları/hedefleri olan üyelerimizin dikkate almalarında yarar var.
