IV. Information

1. Discussion
Verbal Analogy are interference of similarities between two relations.
The symbol ( : ) means "is to" and the symbol ( : : ) means "as."
For example, dirty : stinky :: clean: neat is read as dirty is to stinky as
clean is to neat. Notice the relationship of the first pair.
 The first pair dirty : stinky are synonymous to each other. Thus, the type
of relationship in the 1st pair is SYNONYM.
The second pair therefore must also have the same type of relationship
with the 1st pair. The 2nd pair should be clean and neat which are synonymous to
each other.
There are types of verbal analogy and some of it are antonyms and
synonyms.
Antonyms are words with opposite meaning. For example: white and
black, destroy and build or tall and short.
Synonyms are words with the same meaning. For example: true and
genuine or lucky and fortunate.

Student 3 should arrange the antonyms given in a verbal analogy form
