Importance of Analogies

2-Look for the relationship between the pairs of words. Ask yourself-How are the words similar? How are they different? What is the “connection” between them?
3-Use the words of the analogy in a logical “test” sentence.
Example- lawyer : client :: _________________
A. money : bank
B. forest : squirrel
C. doctor : patient
