Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Oxygen : Animal :: Carbon Dioxide :

Answer: Plant

Animals need oxygen to survive. It fuels their respiration. Likewise, plants "breathe in" carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Just like oxygen keeps animals going, carbon dioxide is essential fuel for plants.

2. Pennsylvania : PA :: Nebraska :

Answer: NE

Here we're pairing U.S. states with their two-letter postal abbreviations. Just like Pennsylvania is shortened to "PA," Nebraska's official postal code is "NE." These abbreviations are used for mailing addresses and official documents or just because nobody has the time to pronounce "Pennsylvania".

3. Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher :

Answer: School

A doctor works in a hospital, just like a teacher works in a school. It's a relationship based on workplace. Each person is matched with the place where they typically do their job.

4. I : Me :: You :

Answer: You

This one's all about pronouns and grammar. "I" is the subject form, and "me" is the object form. But "you" stays the same whether it's a subject or object. "You called me" and "I called you". Same word, different roles.

5. Book : Read :: Song :

Answer: Listen

You read a book to experience it, just like you listen to a song to enjoy it. Both pairs show the relationship between an object and the action we use to engage with it. It's all about the input!

6. Lion : Cub :: Cat :

Answer: Kitten

This analogy compares the young offspring of two related animals. A baby lion is called a cub, while a baby domestic cat is called a kitten.

7. India : Rupee :: Russia :

Answer: Ruble

This analogy compares countries to their official currencies. Just like India uses the Rupee, Russia uses the Ruble. It's what makes the world go round, I've heard.

8. Poem : Recite :: Song :

Answer: Sing

This analogy connects a form of expression to the way it's typically performed. We recite a poem, and we sing a song. It's all about the output.

9. "Oppenheimer" : Nolan :: "Psycho" :

Answer: Hitchcock

This analogy matches a movie with the last name of its director. "Oppenheimer" was directed by Christopher Nolan, just as "Psycho" was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

10. Elizabeth I : Tudor :: Catherine the Great :

Answer: Romanov

This analogy connects famous queens with their respective royal dynasty. Elizabeth I belonged to the Tudor family in England, while Catherine the Great was a ruler of Russia from the Romanov dynasty.

11. We : Our :: You :

Answer: Your

This is all about relationship between pronouns and their possessive forms. "We" becomes "our" when showing possession, just like "you" changes to "your."

12. Germany : Kaiser :: Russia :

Answer: Tsar

This analogy compares the titles of monarchs from two different countries. In Germany, the emperor was called the "Kaiser," while in Russia, the equivalent title was "Tsar" (or "Czar"). Both titles refer to the supreme rulers of their respective empires before the modern era.

13. Helium : He :: Nitrogen :

Answer: N

This analogy compares elements to their chemical symbols. Just like Helium is represented by He on the periodic table, Nitrogen is represented by N.

14. Dalmatian : Dog :: Abyssinian :

Answer: Cat

This analogy links a specific breed to its broader animal group. A Dalmatian is a type of dog, just like an Abyssinian is a type of cat.

15. "Hamlet" : Shakespeare :: "The Aeneid" :

Answer: Virgil

This links famous literary works to their authors. "Hamlet" is one of William Shakespeare's most well-known plays, while "The Aeneid" is a classic epic poem written by the Roman poet Virgil. Both are landmark works in their respective literary traditions.
