Answer 1

I've answered the questions that I can explain logically. I hope these help you:

1. spark is to blaze as nick is to ____

Spark is to blaze as nick is to gash - because a spark is part of and can lead to a blaze. So can a nick, lead to and be part of a gash.

2. temperance is to gluttony as industry is to ____

No answer

3. develop is to immature as ____ is to ____

Develop is to immature as prepare is to unready. You need to develop (as in develop imto an adult) to no longer be immature (although some adults are immature). So, develop is the opposite of immature in this instance. So, if you prepare, you will be ready. That is to say, avoid being unready.

4. platinum is to metal as ___ is to ____

No answer

5. centripetal is to force as ___ is to ___

No answer

6. strike : drum as ____

Strike: drums as blow: whistle - because strike is an action of something that you actively do to the drums. Similarly, you "blow" the whistle.

7. accident : injury as ____

accident : injury as violation : punishment - because an accident can cause an injury. Just like a violation can cause punishment (consequences).

8. drawbridge : castle as ____

drawbridge : castle as aisle : stage - because you cross the drawbridge to get to the castle. You also walk down or up the aisle to get to the stage (you would not walk down a gangway to get TO a ship as that leaves the ship, hallway is IN a building, it does not lead TO the building, lawn is in front of the house, not how you get to the house, etc).

9. unique : common as minute : ____

unique : common as minute :majestic- common is the opposite of unique. Majestic is the opposite of minute.

10. corroded : alloy as outdated : ____

No answer

11. hot : boiling as tricky : ____

hot : boiling as tricky :confusing - because boiling is a larger term for hot and confusing is a larger term for tricky.

12. cognition : knowledge as volition : ____

No answer

8. -- This is actually number 13, not 8.

remorse : guilt as contrite : ____

remorse : guilt as contrite :regretful - Having/feeling guilt can lead to feeling remorse. Having or feeling regretful can lead to feeling contrite (also means feelings of remorse).

9. - This is actually number 14, not 9.

extinction is to perpetuation as enhancement is to ____

extinction is to perpetuation as enhancement is to depletion - extinction - to make obsolete, dying out, or reduction and perpetuation is to preserve from "extinction". So, depletion is to make less, and enhance(ment) is the act of or to increase, make more of something.

6. strike : drum as ____ This is a close call among a, b, and d. Each one is an action which makes a sound come from the given instrument. I'd go with a because in blow is the only way you get the sound from a whistle, and striking is the only way you get sound from a drum. However; you can strum or pick a guitar, and you can pluck or bow a string.

10. corroded : alloy as outdated : ____ Another close call, this time between a and d. I chose d because alloy and rule are both abstract; they are not objects.

a. book

b. morality

c. clock

d. rule A makes B less useful.

e. control

11. hot : boiling as tricky : ____

a. confusing

b. embarrassing

c. cunning For the same property, A is moderate, B is extreme.

d. thrilling

e. disgusting

12. cognition : knowledge as volition : ____

a. experience A is the means to gain B

8. remorse : guilt as contrite : ____ This is a tough choice between b and c. Ultimately, I chose b because "regretful" does not necessarily imply any guilt. For instance, you can be regretful that you played a game badly but not intentionally.

a. rudiment

b. repentant A is a close synonym to B

c. regretful

9. extinction is to perpetuation as enhancement is to ____

a. degradation

b. adornment

c. depletion A is the opposite of B. "Degradation" is not a bad choice, but depletion implies the using up of a resource (like extinction), whereas degradation can just mean a reduction in quality.
