The prefix "mono­_-_" means related to the number one, and the prefix "poly-" means related to more than one or related to many. In this instance, that information would be enough for you to solve this problem. However, further clarification will be helpful for other problems. A “monosyllabic” word is a word that has one syllable, and a "polysyllabic" word is a word that has more than one syllable. So, "red" and "blue" are each monosyllabic words, and "yellow" and "color" are each polysyllabic words.

Hands have fingers attached to them, so to solve the analogy, you need to pick out the answer choice which describes the appendages attached to feet. So, "toes" is the correct answer.

The word "rigid" means not able to change its shape. For instance, a piece of putty can be stretched and changed. Such a thing is "flexible." So too are certain drinking straws flexible—they have that little top section that can be bent. When they do not have this, they are generally "rigid" (though you can bend them more than, for example, a pencil, which is very rigid). When something is "inflexible," it is not able to be flexed or bent. This is just what it is like to be "rigid." The "in-" prefix in "in-flexible" is really a form of the "un-" prefix that means not or non-. This is the best answer among those provided. Do not be tricked by the other answers, some of which describe character traits that many associate with "rigid" personalities. Even if every person with a "rigid" personality was judgmental, these two words would still indicate two different things—one, the being inflexible or unchanging, and the other, the being critical.

"Frigid" means very cold, so "cold" and "frigid" are synonyms. So, to solve the analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice that means the same thing as "sweltering." "Sweltering" means very hot or stifling, so the correct answer is "hot."

"Denim" is a type of "fabric," so to solve this analogy you need to determine what "copper" is a type of. The correct answer is that "copper" is a type of "metal."

A "cougar" is an example of a big "cat." So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is an example of a "dog." The correct answer is "hyena." "Hyenas" are pack animals that live in Africa.

Someone who is tired may yawn, so we're looking for an answer where the first word describes an action someone might do if they currently feel the emotion the second word describes. If someone is happy, they might smile, just as if they are tired, they might yawn, so "smile is to happy" is the correct answer.

A leaf and flower are both parts of a plant. A beak is a part of a bird, therefore the answer must be another part of a bird. "Feathers" is the only possible option.

A crocodile is a kind of reptile, so we need to pick out an answer choice that describes a category that a penguin would fall into. While “bird” and “bird of prey” might each look like a potentially correct answer, “bird of prey” specifically means “a predatory bird; a raptor,” and because a penguin does not fall into this specific category of birds, but is still a bird, “bird” is the correct answer.

To complete the analogy, you first need to determine the relationship between the initial pairing. The floor and ceiling are both parts of a room. The floor is the bottommost part of the room and the ceiling is the topmost portion of the room. You are therefore looking for an answer in the form "part" is to "part," where both parts share the same whole. Therefore the answer must be "basement is to attic." They are both rooms a house. The basement is the bottommost room of the house and the attic is the topmost room of the house.
