Example Question #11 : Tool/Use, User/Tool, Product/Producer, And Subject/Object
Complete the analogy.
Musician is to song as artist is to __________.
stage
entertainment
creator
sculpture
book
sculpture
A musician produces songs. The answer, then, is what an artist produces. There are many options for what an artist may produce, but the only one listed is "sculpture." This is a better option than either "book" or "entertainment." "Author" or "writer" would have been used for "book." "Entertainment" is not very specific, but the first example, "musician" and "songs," is very specific.

Butcher is to meat as tailor is to __________.

A "butcher" is someone who sells "meat." So, to solve this analogy you need to figure out what it is that a "tailor" produces or sells. The correct answer is "clothes." A "tailor" is someone who makes sure clothes fit, especially things like suits.

Lava is to volcano as __________ is to cloud.

"Lava" is the hot molten rock that comes out of a volcano when it erupts. So, "lava" comes from a "volcano." To solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is something that comes from a "cloud." The correct answer is "rain."

Complete this analogy.
Baker is to bread as ______________.
time is to watch
gardener is to jail
architect is to house
chef is to flowers
police officer is to coffee
architect is to house
Since bakers bake bread, we are looking for an answer choice that includes an occupation (e.g., baker) and a product that they help to make (e.g., bread). The only answer choice that fits this criterion is "Architect is to house" because architects help to build houses.
