Mourn:loss as celebrate is to what

Question

Mourn:loss::celebrate:what

Answer 1

Paul had a great way to handle the analogy.  This works when taking tests.  My thoughts:

 

Celebrate: occasion

Celebrate: event

 

An occasion or event cause you to celebrate

Answer 2

Hi Evan,

 

When working on analogies, the first step is to build a "bridge"- find the connection between the words given.  In this cause the bridge is cause/effect.  A loss causes one to mourn.

 

Then you can work on the predicting a word to fit the 2nd pair.  A ______ causes one to celebrate.

 

Other common "bridges" are definition, lack, part/whole, & type.  I hope that helps with any analogy question you work on.
