"Frigid" means very cold and describes temperatures common during "winter." To solve this analogy, you have to determine which of the answer choices describes temperatures common during summer. The correct answer is “stifling,” which means hot and restrictive. For clarification, "whet" means sharpen or stimulate, and "glacial," "frosty," and "cold" are all synonyms of "frigid" and antonyms of "stifling."

“Dread” means fear, and the suffix "-less"­ means without or not having, so someone who is “fearless” is brave and does not dread anything. To solve this analogy, you have to determine which of the answer choices is a characteristic least likely to be found in someone who is “guileless.” “Guile” means cunning, so someone who is “guileless” has no cunning, and "cunning" is the correct answer. None of the other answer choices make sense in the blank: “eloquence” is the ability to speak clearly and intelligently; “temerity” is nerve or audacity; and “fortitude” means strength or perseverance.

Someone who is colorblind cannot perceive color, so we need to pick out an answer that describes someone who cannot perceive “melody,” which means either a simple piece of music formed out of a series of notes. “Tone-deaf” is an adjective that is used of a person and means unable to differentiate different musical pitches, so, just as someone who cannot perceive color is colorblind, someone who cannot perceive melody is tone-deaf, making “tone-deaf” the correct answer.

“Wary” is an adjective that means cautious and on the lookout for danger, so someone is wary if they demonstrate caution. That means that we need to pick out an answer choice in which the first word is a noun conveying a quality, and the second word an adjective describing someone who demonstrates that quality. While “cleverness is to sagacious,” “anger is to pacified,” and “disinterest is to obsessed” may all look like potentially correct answers, “pacify” is a verb that means make less angry, so someone who is pacified is no longer angry, meaning that “anger is to pacified” cannot be the correct answer. Similarly, “obsess” is a verb that means preoccupy, so someone that is obsessed with something is not demonstrating disinterest in that thing, and “disinterest is to obsessed” cannot be the correct answer either. However, someone who is "sagacious" (shrewd) demonstrates cleverness, just as someone who is wary demonstrates caution, so “cleverness is to sagacious” is the correct answer.

Since a famine is a type of disaster in which there is a lack of food, we need to pick out the item there is a lack of in a drought. While "water" and "shelter" both look like potentially correct answers because a lack of either of them would be disastrous, a drought is specifically a lack of water, so "water" is the correct answer.

A "tome" is a long and ponderous book. A characteristic of a tome is to be long, so to solve this analogy, you have to determine which of the answer choices is characteristic of a snippet. A "snippet" is a terse presentation of information, and "terse" means short or brief, so "brief" is the correct answer.

"Laudatory" means deserving of praise, so to solve this analogy, you have to determine which of these answer choices is similarly related to the word "deplorable." "Deplorable" means deserving of hatred, so "hatred" is the correct answer. For clarification, "envy" and "jealousy" are synonyms, "attachment" means physical point of connection or closeness with someone or something else, and "affection" means emotional warmth.

“Humid” is an adjective that means having a lot of moisture in the air. We’re looking for an adjective that describes “desert” in terms of moisture, the way that “humid” describes “jungle.” While “sandy,” “hot,” and “barren” are all characteristics of the desert, none of these words are related to moisture. “Oasis” is a noun that means an area of the desert where water is found. Although it's related to moisture, “oasis” is a noun and we’re looking for an adjective. “Arid” is an adjective that means having little rain or water

Of the answer choices, “arid” is the best choice.

A characteristic of a priest is to be religious, so to solve this analogy, you have to determine which of these answer choices is a common characteristic of a musician. The correct answer is “artistic,” because musicians are generally artistic. For clarification, someone who is "eloquent" is well-spoken, and someone who is "judicious" is fair.

"Obsolete" means no longer in use, 'out of date.' It is a quality of the "telegraph" to be "obsolete" because it is no longer in use. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these words describes a quality of a "fridge." The correct answer is "commonplace" which means ordinary, normal, found everywhere. Additionally, "stifling" means uncomfortable hot, oppressive; "miraculous" means occurring as a result of a miracle, caused by divine power; "introspective" means prone to looking inwardly at one's own personality, thoughtful about oneself; "extroverted" means confident, outgoing, stimulated by social activity.
