A "leaf" is a part of a "plant." So, which of these is a part of a "dog?" The correct answer is a "tail."

Minutes are a fractional unit of an hour, or in other words, a part of a whole.

A "smile” is an expression we make when we are "happy," just as a "frown" is an expression we make when we are "sad."

If you are feel anger towards at someone or something, you might yell at him, her, or it. So, to solve this analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice in which the first word is an emotion that might cause you to do the second word, an action verb. If you feel sorrow, you might cry, so "sorrow is to cry" is the correct answer.

“Exhausted” means very tired, so when you are “exhausted” you need to “sleep." To solve this analogy, you need to figure out what it is that you need to do when you are “famished.” “Famished” means very hungry, so when you are “famished” you need to “eat.”

When you are sad you frown, so to solve this analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice that describes what expression you make when you are happy. When you are happy, you smile, so "smile" is the correct answer. To help you, "ecstatic" means very happy.

A “crisis” is an unstable or crucial time, a time in which an event reaches a critical phase, or a disaster. A “disaster” is an unstable event, so "disaster" is the correct answer. We could say a “crisis” can lead to a “disaster.” “Hope” is similar to “optimism” in that they are both positive ways of thinking; we could also say that “hope” can lead to “optimism.” “Pessimism” is the opposite of “optimism” and means a negative outlook. “Despair” is the opposite of "hope" as it means the state of being hopeless, or when used as a verb no longer have any hope. “Defeatism” is similar to “despair” as it is the mentality in which one is accepting of defeat. “Longing” is like "hope" in that it is a deep desire for something. To provide a little extra help, when two words have opposite meanings to one another, we call them “antonyms.”

A noise might startle someone, as “startle” means “to cause a feeling of sudden alarm.” So, we need to pick out an answer choice in which the first word is a noun and the second word is a verb that describes what that noun might do to someone. While “please is to gift” and “lullaby is to soothe” might each look like a potentially correct answer, a please does not gift someone, so “please is to gift” cannot be the correct answer. A lullaby might soothe someone, however, as “lullaby” means “a quiet, gentle song sung to send a child to sleep” and “soothe” means “gently to calm someone.” So, because a noise might startle someone just as a lullaby might soothe someone, “lullaby is to soothe” is the correct answer.

When you “punch” someone, you are likely to cause “pain,” so to solve this analogy, you need to determine what would likely be caused by “embracing” someone. To “embrace” means to hug, so you could reasonably infer that an “embrace” would be likely generate “comfort” for someone. To provide further help, “shame” means embarrassment.

Someone who is tired may yawn, so we're looking for an answer where the first word describes an action someone might do if they currently feel the emotion the second word describes. If someone is happy, they might smile, just as if they are tired, they might yawn, so "smile is to happy" is the correct answer.
