Lesson 2: Weeks 4, 5, & 6: Analogies

The relationship between the words "graceful" and "ungainly" is that they are antonyms, with "ungainly" meaning lacking grace or awkward. Similarly, the relationship between "flattering" and "derogatory" is that they are also antonyms, with "derogatory" meaning showing a disrespectful or critical attitude. Therefore, "flattering : derogatory" is the correct answer.

In this analogy, the relationship between the words "delicacy" and "eat" is that a delicacy is something that is meant to be eaten. Similarly, the relationship between "beverage" and "drink" is that a beverage is something that is meant to be drunk. Therefore, the correct answer is "beverage : drink".

The analogy in the question follows the relationship between a characteristic and its associated organism. Just as plumage is a characteristic of birds, scales are a characteristic of reptiles. Therefore, the correct answer is scales : reptile.

The relationship between the words "predatory" and "predatory" is that they are synonyms, meaning they have the same or similar meanings. Similarly, the relationship between "victim" and "vulnerable" is that they are also synonyms, as a victim is someone who is vulnerable to harm or attack. Therefore, "victim : vulnerable" is the correct answer as it follows the same pattern of synonym relationship as "predatory : predatory".

The relationship between "nibble" and "devour" is that "devour" is a more intense and extreme version of "nibble." Similarly, the relationship between "annoy" and "infuriate" is that "infuriate" is a stronger and more extreme form of "annoy." Both pairs of words follow a pattern where the second word represents a more intense or extreme version of the first word.
