Analogy

The two words in an analogy are similar to each other. For example, complaining about the same problem is like beating a dead horse.

One helpful strategy for understanding an analogy is to read it out loud. It can also help to fill in the words "is to" and "as," so that when you read it you are thinking " X is to Y as A is to B." Also look for unusual connections, such as things that may have a similar color, texture, or function.

Abstemious is a word used to describe someone who is not self-indulgent. A good example is, he was abstemious while sharing his toys with his cousins.

Generally, analogy puzzles target the skill of logic. Analogies make up a portion of the verbal score on SAT examinations.

An analogy is when two things have something in common and the relationship can be seen or measured. It also means two things can be compared.
