📖Definition
Word Connections questions are analogies. You are given one word relationship and must complete another relationship in the same way.
Knowledge Required
Know common relationships: synonym, antonym, category, part to whole, object to use, worker to tool, cause to effect and degree.
✅How To Answer
State the relationship between the first pair in a short phrase.
Apply that exact relationship to the second word.
Check that the answer has the same word type and direction as the first relationship.
✏️Example
ANCIENT is to MODERN as GENEROUS is to ___.
selfish
✅Solution
Ancient and modern are opposites. The opposite of generous is selfish, so selfish completes the connection.
💡Multiple Choice Tip
Do not choose a word simply because it is related to the second word. It must match the same relationship as the first pair.
💡Tips/hints
Use a sentence frame: Ancient is the opposite of modern, so generous is the opposite of ____.
Watch the order. If the first pair goes small to large, the second pair should go in the same direction.
