arrogant is to modest as feeble is to?

Answer 1

Hi Avery -

I noticed that your analogy question includes a tag for SAT Reading. Analogy questions have been removed from the SAT, so if you are studying for the SAT, please be sure you are preparing for the most recent SAT format.

The College Board has released ten full-length practice tests in the new SAT format that launched in 2016, and highly recommends taking a few practice tests before your test date.

Having a strong vocabulary is still important for the SAT, but the analogies have been replaced with vocabulary-in-context questions. The typical format for vocabulary questions in the reading sections is "As used in line X, '___' most nearly means..."

The words tested today aren't necessarily difficult or obscure, but the questions tend to focus on more nuanced meanings. For example, the reading portion of practice test #5 has vocabulary-in-context questions about the following terms:

BECOMING

STATION

PECULIAR

SIMPLE

SHEER

BOOST

SCALE

BASIC

MATCHED

In the writing and language section of practice test #5, the student must select between "persecuted" and "prosecuted," and substitute a more suitable word in context for "swear" and "pinnacle."

I wish you great success in growing your vocabulary. If you would like help with streamlining your vocabulary development or SAT prep, I would be delighted to work with you. To get in touch, just click on my photo above to go to my profile, and then click on the "Contact Cindy" button.

Arrogant is to modest as feeble is to strong!
