This drill will test your ability to recognize easily relationships between words. Beginning on the first line, write the figures 1 to 10.

In each group of words below, the first two words have a certain connection in meaning. When you discover this relationship between the first two words, you can find among the five words that follow, two other words that bear the same relationship. For example, in group one, the tire is made of rubber. Now if you look among the words that follow, you will easily see that the words house and bricks are related in the same way. (The house is made of bricks.) Write these four words after figure 1 on your paper:

1. tire rubber house bricks

Look at group two. We can easily see that just as the tailor makes clothes so the baker makes bread. So you will write these four words after figure 2 on your paper:

2. tailor clothes baker bread

Complete the exercise by selecting the two words in each remaining group that are related in meaning in the same way that the given words are related in meaning. When you have finished, wait quietly for the others.

1. tire, rubber (wagon, circle, house, brush, bricks).

2. tailor, clothes (baker, store, city, ship, bread).

3. fire, heat (knife, candle, burn, light, wood).

4. sailor, sea (book, sing, soldier, fight, land).

5. gun, bullet (bow, horse, shoot, arrow, fly).

6. young, quick (old, fast, grow, father, slow).

7. apple, tree (oranges, south, grape, vine, sweet).

8. ceiling, floor (sky, attic, stair, earth, high).

9. window, glass (silk, knife, book, steel, pencil).

10. squirrel, chatters (bird, tree, sings, fly, nuts).
