Answer

Analogies in English language are comparisons between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification. They highlight a similarity between two otherwise different things.

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Identify the relationship in the first pair of words.

    This relationship could be one of function, category, part-to-whole, cause-and-effect, or synonymy/antonymy.

  2. Apply that same relationship to the second part of the analogy.

    Find a word that has the same relationship with the third word as the second word has with the first.

    For example:
    Hot is to cold as up is to down. The relationship is antonyms (opposites).
