Analyzing Analogies

Today you will work on completing analogies. 


The link below provides you practice, not only on your level, but on middle and high school level
analogies as well.

Remember to try and create a sentence showing the relationship between the two things, and then use the answer you chose to see if it works in your sentence as well.

Example:


Actors:Plays:: ____________: ____________

A. zoos:lions
B. clowns:circus
C. hot:cold
D. Actresses: Women

My Sentence:


Actors perform in plays.

Now try each of the answers in a sentence:

Zoos are in lions.
Clowns are in the circus.
Hot is in cold.
Actresses are in women.

Which sentence works? Yep, that's right! Clowns are in the circus.


So your answer is:
Actors:Plays::Clowns:Circus
