Answer 1

Look up unfamiliar words in a dictionary. Then tell us what YOU think are the best words to complete the analogies.

I'll be glad to check your answers.

Answer 2

I think the best choices in #1 is d, and the best choice in #2 is a. But I'm not sure if those are the right choices. Thank you!

Answer 3

I agree with your second answer, but not with your first.

Answer 4

Is it A again? I know a necropolis is a cemetery, but is a metropolis a condominium? I don't believe so, but that's the closest match I can find.

Answer 5

I interpret metropolis:necropolis as a home for the living and a home for the dead. That makes a) the best answer. I rejected d) because necrotic is an adjective.

Answer 6

Oh!! I see it now. I just learned I should probably think about words in other ways before getting stumped. :) Thanks!
