The analogy in question compares two synonyms, or words with similar meanings. "Run is to walk" is close, however, "run" and "walk" ultimately refer to distinct activities, as "running" is notably faster than "walking." "Expert is to newcomer" and "rookie is to veteran" are similar to the analogy in question in that they associate two words that describe how long someone has been a participant of a given activity; however, they consist of pairs of antonyms, or words with opposite meanings, rather than synonyms. "Beginner" and "novice" have similar meanings, just as "rule" and "reign" do. So, the correct answer choice is "rule is to reign."

"Funny" means the same thing as "humorous," so funny is a synonym of "humorous." So, to solve this analogy, you have to figure out the best synonym of "tremendous." "Tremendous" means very good or very large, so the correct answer is "gigantic," an adjective that means very large. To help you, "imperfect" means not perfect, as you might infer from the word's use of the negative prefix "im-," which means not, "unwelcome" means not welcome, as you might infer from the word's use of the negative prefix "un-," which also means not, and "miniscule" means very small.

"Partner" and "teammate" are synonyms of one another—they have the same meaning. Both words mean someone who is on your side. So, to solve this analogy, you have to determine which of the answer choices means the same thing as "competitor." A "competitor" is someone with whom you are competing, or in other words, someone on another team. So, the correct answer is "opponent." To provide further help, "ally" means someone on your team; "sponsor" means someone who provides money to make something happen; "manager" means someone in charge at a company; and "assistant" means someone who helps someone else.

"Trip" is another word for "journey"; they have very similar meanings and are therefore synonyms of one another. To solve this analogy, you have to determine which of these words is a synonym of "yearly." The correct answer is "annual" because it means occurring on a yearly basis.

"Simple" and "easy" are synonyms of one another—they both have the same meaning. So, to solve this analogy, you need to determine which of the answer choices is a synonym of "bent." "Bent" means physically moved into a configuration that is out of shape or not in a straight line, so "warped" is the best answer choice, as "warped" means distorted, twisted, or misshapen. To provide further help, "amplified" means increased in intensity or made louder; "challenging" means difficult; and "irate" means very angry.

Someone who is "valiant" is very brave and noble, so "valiant" and "brave" are synonyms. So, to solve this analogy, you have to figure out which answer choice is closest in meaning to "queasy." "Queasy" means sick or feeling as if you have an upset stomach, so "sick" is the correct answer. None of the other answer choices are close in meaning to "valiant": "fearless" means brave or not afraid; "aid" means help or assistance; "healthy" means in good physical condition and not suffering from any illnesses; and "doctor" refers to a medical professional who helps sick people feel better.

"Smart" and "brilliant" are synonyms. The only synonym for "nervous" that is listed is "anxious."

"Creative" and "inventive" are synonyms. The only other pair of synonyms listed is "responsible" and "guilty." This uses the word "responsible" in a slightly different way than in everyday conversation. If someone is "guilty" of causing an accident, he or she is "responsible" for causing the accident.

"Content" is a synonym of "happy," it means happy with things the way they are, satisfied. So, to solve this analogy you have to determine which of these answers is a synonym for "irate." The correct answer is "angry," "irate" means very angry. 

"Dire" means (of a situation) serious, awful, and terrible. So, "dire" and "terrible" are synonyms of one another. "Synonyms" are two words that have the same or similar meaning. So, to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words has the same meaning as "grumpy." The correct answer is "disgruntled." Additionally, "reluctant" means unwilling, not wanting to do something; "appropriate" means fitting, suitable, matches with the occasion; "flustered" means disturbed by, upset by; "content" means satisfied, happy enough with.
