To “surpass” is to go beyond or to become better than someone or something. “Exceed” also means to go beyond the limit of something or to become better than someone or something. Look for prefixes like "sur-" and "ex-"where "sur-" can mean above and "ex-" can mean out of. To further help you, “recede” means to go back, so you can say waves “recede” on the shore.

The words "huge" and "enormous" are synonyms_._ They describe something large. The other words do not share this meaning. "Miniature" is an antonym to "huge."

Since "hot" is a word that describes the temperature of lava, we need to pick out a word describing something that is cold. While "chilly" might look like a good answer, "chilly" actually means the same thing as "cold," so it can't be the correct answer, because "chilly" is not a thing which is cold. "Ice," on the other hand, is a thing which is cold, so "ice" 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.

The word "secondary" refers to something that happens second, the second in a list of something. So, to solve this analogy you have to determine which one of these words means something that happens first, the first in a list of something. The correct answer is therefore "primary." To provide further help, "humorously" means done with humor; "universally" means by everyone, always relevant; "tertiary" means happening third; "unnaturally" means done unusually, done in a way that is not natural or normal.

When something is "masked" it means that thing is concealed or covered. The root word, "mask," means something that covers the face, while the suffix "-ed" indicates an adjective.

Since "sunset" describes the action of the sun during evening, we need to pick out a noun describing a time of day during which "sunrise" occurs. While the sun is up during "morning,""day," and "noon," "morning" is the best answer, as the sun rises in the morning.

"Split" means "divided" or disunited, so "divided" is the correct answer.

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.

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.
