A sedative is something you might use in order to make you feel "drowsy," or tired; therefore, in order to solve this analogy you must find which answer choice would most likely be used to make someone feel energetic. The correct answer is "stimulant," which is something that provides energy. A "tranquilizer" would have the same affect as a sedative; "soporific "means causing sleepiness; and "lethargic" means lacking energy.

A "beam" can be defined as to smile or a smile, with a smile being an expression of pleasure. To solve this analogy, you must therefore identify which answer choice is an expression of pain. This should lead you to the correct answer, “grimace,” which means a contorted facial expression expressing disgust or pain.

"Erudite" is an adjective that means knowledgeable and learned. If one studies, one can become erudite, so we're looking for an answer in which the first word is a verb that describes what one can do to have the second word, an adjective, describe them. While "sleep is to tired" may look like a possible answer because you sleep when you are tired, one does not sleep to become tired, so it can't be the right answer. "Exercise is to fit," on the other hand, fits the pattern we're looking for, because if one exercises, one can become fit. Because of this, "exercise is to fit" is the correct answer.

The relationship here is of cure to malady. Coffee is a cure for lethargy. Fasting is not a cure for hunger, so we can rule that one out. Exercise is not a cure for strength. If anything, it is probably a cure for weakness, so we can rule that one out, too. We can also rule out the answer choice, "Tea is to headaches," because tea is not necessarily a cure for headaches. That leaves us with two choices. The best one is "Deoderant is to body odor," because deoderant is always a cure for body odor. Medicine is only occasionally a cure for a cold.

If you diminish something than you make it smaller so to solve this analogy you have to determine which of these answer choices describes the action of making something bigger. The correct answer is “augment” which means to increase, add to, or supplement. For clarification the four other answer choices are all used, like diminish, to describe the action of making something smaller.

A lament is an expression of grief and sadness which is an act usually undertaken at a funeral; therefore to solve this analogy you have to identify which of these acts is usually undertaken at a wedding. This should lead you to the correct answer, “celebrate.” For clarification, "mourn" means feel sorrow about a past event; "scold" and "admonish" are synonyms that mean tell-off; "laud" means praise.

Someone who is exhausted is enervated. Someone who is energized is invigorated. 

A "monsoon" is a downpour of heavy rain that results, often, in a flood. In the analogy, both 'monsoon' and "flood" are nouns. "Dehydrated" could be a past-tense verb or an adjective, and requires a matching effect.

"Brittle" (adj) is the answer because it means crisp, fragile, or easily broken into small pieces. This is an effect of being dried out, and it is a matching adjective.

"Parch" (verb) means to dry or burn and is a synonym of "dehydrated," not an effect.

"Durable" (adj) (root "dura" = hard or lasting) means able to last a long time. It is not necessarily a result of being dehydrated.

"Hearty" (adj) (root "heart" = spirit, will (the metaphorical sense)) means healthy and strong, and could be a possible antonym of dehydrated.

"Arid" (adj) means very dry, which is a synonym, not an effect.

Receiving an "award" causes a feeling of pride, so the analogy demonstrates a cause and effect relationship. "Disappointment" should have a corresponding feeling, an adjective, as "proud" is an adjective.

The correct answer is "somber," which is a description of a serious, gloomy, or dark mood. Following a disappointment, a somber attitude would be a reasonable reaction.

"Defeat" (noun) means a beating or overthrow, which is certainly disappointing, but it is not conveying a mood or feeling. "Defeated" would be suitable.

"Funereal" (adj) is a very dark and depressed feeling or vibe. This is a viable option, but conveys too deep of a depression for a mere disappointment.

"Attainment" (noun) is a victory, or when something is gained, and does not describe a mood. A victory would also be the opposite of a disappointment.

"Forfeit" (noun) when one gives up their opportunity to be victorious. This may be disappointing, but does not describe a mood or feeling.

To "deify" means to make holy, to make like a God, to treat as a God. So, to solve this analogy you have to determine which of these words means to treat like a villain, to portray someone as evil ("vilify"). The correct answer is "miscreant." A "miscreant" is a criminal, a wicked person. Additionally, a "councilor" is someone who gives advise; a "mentor" is someone with expertise who helps a beginner; an "acolyte" is an assistant; a "preacher" is a religious speaker.
