Word relationships — analogy completion

11+ · Verbal Reasoning · GL · VR12Closest meaning + relationship between words

Question

Question (3 marks): Complete each analogy by selecting the best option, and name the relationship type (e.g. synonym, antonym, part-to-whole, function, cause-effect, degree).

(a) petal is to flower as page is to ____ (book / library / chapter / cover) (b) drought is to famine as virus is to ____ (medicine / illness / hospital / immunity) (c) warm is to scalding as cool is to ____ (cold / freezing / icy breeze / temperate)


Mark scheme (3 marks — 1 per item):

  • (a) book — relationship: part-to-whole (meronym).
  • (b) illness — relationship: cause-to-effect.
  • (c) freezing — relationship: degree/intensity (moderate → extreme). Award the mark only if both the answer and the relationship label are correct. Cold is wrong because it does not match the intensity step present in warm → scalding.
