That last example brings us to another thing you need to bear in mind as you do analogy questions. The relationships you need to explain will be constant relationships, words that ALWAYS relate to each other in a specific way. What do we mean? Well, practically speaking, you might get a word pair like the one we just saw: DANCE : GYMNASIUM But you're far more likely to see one like: DANCE : BALLROOM A ballroom is designed to hold dances, and so the two words always stand in that relationship. By contrast, sometimes a gymnasium is used for dances, and sometimes for sports events. What you definitely won't see is a pair like BOOK SALE : GYMNASIUM. While book sales have been known to be held in gymnasiums, the two words don't have a constant, standing relationship to one another. Remember to look for constant, standing relationships.
