Someone who is "native" to a place was born there; on the other hand, "foreign" means from another country.

"Satisfied" means happy with something, and "dissatisfied" means unhappy with something, so the two words are antonyms, or opposites. To solve this analogy, you have to find the best antonym of "tall." "Short" is an opposite of "tall," so "short" is the correct answer.

"Useless" is an opposite of "useful," so the two words are antonyms of one another. So, to solve the analogy, you need to pick out an answer choice that is an antonym, or opposite, of "common."
