Analogies and
Active/Passive Voice
REVIEW
Analogies
• Analogy- Compares two things that are similar in
some way; used to explain or make something easier
to understand.
• Context Clues- use the information in a passage or
sentence to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar
words or phrases
• Synonyms- words have similar meanings
• Motivate is to inspire as bliss is to delight
Analogies, continued
• Antonyms- words that have opposite
meanings….Exciting is to dull as hero is to villain
• Relationship of Degree- the two words will mean
the same thing but to a different extent; For example,
confident and arrogant or mock and imitate
• Part-Whole- the first word in the analogy is a small
part of the second word. For example, toe is to foot as
finger is to hand. OR episode is to television series as
song is to album.
Steps to Analogical Statements
1. Find the relationship between the two underlined
words. Are they synonyms or antonyms? Part-whole
or degree? HINT: Determine whether the word is
positive or negative in the sentence. This will help
pick the relationship!
2. Find THAT SAME relationship in the answer
choice analogies. (second set of words)
**Remember!** We are not matching definitions and we
are not likely to know what the underlined words mean!
