Also, pay attention to parts of speech. Is the word being used as a noun or an adjective or a verb? In the pair DANCE : GRACEFULLY the word dance is used as a verb. Someone is dancing gracefully. The part of speech for dance is clear since the second word, gracefully, is an adverb (i.e. it modifies a verb). But in the pair DANCE : GYMNASIUM the word dance is probably being used as a noun, as in "A dance can be held in a gymnasium." (We'll have more to say about this word pair on the next page). Pinning down the part of speech helps to clarify the relationship between the words. The words in the answer choices will be of the same parts of speech.
