A "game" is something that is participated in by athletes, so to solve this analogy you have to determine which of the answer choices represents a group that participate in a play. This should lead you to the correct answer, “actors.”

A teacher leads and directs the activities of his or her students. In the same way, a manager leads and directs the activities of his or her employees. The two relationships are analogous.

A deliberate killing of a group of humans is known as a "massacre," so to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these words refers to a deliberate and organized killing of animals.

Additionally, "genocide" is the deliberate and premeditated killing of an ethnic group; "carrion" is dead animal flesh; a "cadaver" is a corpse; an "autopsy" is an investigation into the medical cause of someone's death.

An "epithet" is a word or phrase used to "describe" a group of people, usually in a negative way. So, the purpose of an "epithet" is to "describe." To solve this analogy you need to determine what the purpose of "libel" is. Well, "libel" is false information published with the intent of damaging the reputation of someone. The purpose of "libel" is to "defame" (ruin the reputation of). Additionally, "imbue" means fill with; "prune" means trim, cut; "accrue" means accumulate, gather money through interest or investment, grow in wealth or value; "jettison" means discard, get rid of unwanted waste.

A "coroner" is someone who investigates the causes of a "death." So, a "coroner" is concerned with "death," what is a "pilgrim" concerned with? Well, a "pilgrim" is someone who goes on a journey for religious purposes. So, a "pilgrim" is concerned with "worship."

"Excavate" means to dig a hole for the purposes of removing something. So, one can "excavate" a "fossil." To solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is something that one might "cauterize." Well, "cauterize" means to burn the skin to help a "wound" to heal.

To "lactate" means to produce "milk," usually for the purposes of sustaining one's offspring. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is produced by someone who is "ovulating." Well, to "ovulate" means (of a female) to produce "eggs" for reproduction.

"Oscillate" is a verb meaning swing back and forth at a constant pace. Since "oscillate" describes the nature of a pendulum's movement, we need to pick out an answer choice that is a verb that describes the nature of a satellite's movement. Of the three answer choices which are verbs ("communicate," "break," and "orbit"), only "orbit" describes a type of movement, and specifically the movement of a satellite. Since a satellite orbits just as a pendulum oscillates, "orbit" is the correct answer.

Sewing is the task of a seamstress. Similarly, sailing is the task of a captain.

A "comrade" is an ally or fellow worker. To fight or turn against them is to "betray them." The relationship is an action (betray) that can be done to a noun (comrade). Behavior is also a noun, so the answer will be a verb that can be done to or with it.

The answer is "condone" (verb), a reaction to behavior, generally with a negative connotation, such as allowing bad behavior. Prefix "con" = with, root "don" give.

"Demeanor" (noun), prefix "de" = of/away, root "mien" = face or action. It refers to the appearance someone shows to others. This is similar to behavior, but not an action.
