The “medieval” period of history occurred between the ninth and fifteenth century CE in Europe and Asia. As it is a period of history, it can be said to be an “era.” To solve this analogy, you have to determine which of these categories “Mediterranean” fits into. It is worth noting that the prefix "med-" means middle, so the “medieval” period was so named because it was a middle period between antiquity and the modern day, while the Mediterranean sea was so named for being in the middle of Europe and Africa—that is, between the two continents. So, because the Mediterranean is a sea just as "medieval" is an era, "sea" is the correct answer.

A “century” is one hundred consecutive years, so to solve this analogy, you have to determine how many years a “millennium” is. The correct answer is a "thousand.” The prefix "cent-" means hundred, and likewise, the prefix "mil-" means thousand. Just think of "centipedes" and "millipedes" if you think you might get these confused. The key here is not to be confused by the fact that "millennium" does not refer to a span of a "million" years, despite "million" also beginning with "mil-."

You use scissors to cut, so to solve this analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice that is a verb that describes what you do with a needle. The correct answer is to “inject” something. The prefix "in-" means put into, so “inject” means to put something, usually a liquid, into something else. To provide further help, “induce” means force or cause to be, and “imply” means suggest. 

One would expect to be able to get books from a library, so to solve this analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice that is an object you would expect to be able to get from a bakery. You might expect to be able to get bakery from a bakery, so "bread" is the correct answer. None of the other answers make sense in the blank as something you might expect to get from a bakery; while you might expect to find an oven and a kitchen in a bakery, you wouldn't expect to be able to take these things with you like books from a library, so those answer choices are incorrect.

The prefix "in-" means into and the prefix "ex-" means out of. So, to “inhale” is to breathe in and to “exhale” is to breathe out. To solve this analogy, you need to identify the answer choice that is the opposite of “implicit.” “Implicit” means understood without having to be directly said, so the best antonym is “explicit,” which means obviously stated. None of the other answer choices are antonyms of "implicit": “implied” means suggested but not directly stated, so it is a synonym of implicit; "extraneous" means extra and not necessary; and “extrapolate” is a verb that means take certain information and reach some conclusion about it; and "interesting" means able to hold one's attention or fascinating.

The prefix "motor-" means related to cars, so a “motorist” is someone who is driving a car or other motorized vehicle. To solve this analogy, you need to determine which of the answer choices is a name for someone who is walking near traffic. The root "ped" means having to do with walking or feet, so the correct answer is “pedestrian.” When you walk along the side of the road or cross the street, you are a “pedestrian.” None of the other answer choices are words that mean someone who is walking near traffic: an “ambassador” is someone who represents a group’s interests, especially that of a nation, to a third party; a “mercenary” is someone who is paid to fight; a “representative” is someone who is elected to represent the interests of the people in government; and a “paramedic” is someone who responds to medical emergencies.

You can use a rug to cover the floor, so to solve this analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice that is something you can use to "enclose" an area. "Enclose" means close off from all sides, so you can use a fence to enclose an area. That means that fence is the correct answer.

A triangle is a three-sided shape, so to solve this analogy, you have to determine how many sides a square has. The correct answer is that a square has “four” sides. The prefix "tri-" usually means that the word will relate in some way to the number three.

The root "ped" means related to legs, walking, or feet. A “biped” is a two-legged animal. The prefix ­"bi-" means related to the number two. So, to solve this analogy, you have to determine how many legs a “quadruped” has. The correct answer is “four,” because the prefix ­"quad-" means related to the number four.

The prefix "man-" means related to hands, just as the prefix "ped-" means related to feet. A “manicure” is a treatment for hands and nails and a “pedicure” is a treatment for feet and toe nails.
