__________________________Encircle the most analogous pair
THINGS TO CARE WHILE UNDERTAKING ANALOGY TEST:___________________
1. Start searching for answer after trying to understand the relation ship of the preceding pair.
2. It would be better to make a sentence of the pair, and then apply it to the choices as in
SCREAM: WHISPER‘Whisper is the soft utterance while scream is the loud cry.’ When applied to the four choices we find Blaze: spark as perfect analogy to the capitalized pair as ‘spark is the soft trace of fire while blaze is the stronger one’.
3. While maneuvering with the choices always journey from improbabilities to the possibilities.

Section 1.5, Analogy
4. If there is tie between two or more choices, distinguish the one that relates to the environment of the leading pair.
5. If you are having a vocabulary problem exclude the pair from possibility

Both plants and animals of many sorts show remarkable changes in form, structure, growth, habits and even mode of reproduction in becoming adapted to different climatic environment, types of food supply, or mode of living. This divergence in response to evolution is commonly
expressed by altering the form and function of some part or parts of the organism, the original identity of which is clearly discernible. The limbs of various mammals are modified according to different modes of life---for swift running as in the horse and antelope, for swinging in trees as in the monkeys, for flying as in the bats, for swimming as in the whales and dolphins and for other adaptations. The structures or organs that show main change in connection with this adaptive divergence are commonly identified as ‘homologous’, in spite of great alterations. Thus the fingers and wristbones of a bat and whale, for instance, have virtually nothing in common except that they are definitely equivalent elements of the mammalian limb.
6. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
a. Adaptive divergenceb. Evolutionc. Changes in organsd. Our changing bodies
7. Which of the following words could best be substituted for ‘homologous’ in line 5th
