"Meek" means shy and timid, and it is an opposite of "powerful." When two words are the opposite of one another, we call them antonyms. To solve this analogy, you have to figure out the best antonym of "skilled." Someone who is "skilled" is good at something. So, the best antonym of "skilled" is "untrained." To help you, "deft" is a synonym of skilled, and "timid" means shy.

"Obey" means listen to an order or a set of directions, so it is an opposite, or antonym, of "disobey," which means do something different after being ordered or directed to do something specific. So, to solve this analogy, you have to find the best antonym of "allow." "Allow" means let something happen or permit; so, the best antonym of "allow" is "forbid," which means prohibit or ban. So, "forbid" is the correct answer. To help you, "grant" means give, "consume" means eat, and "desire" means want.

"Small" and "large" are antonyms, so we are looking for an answer choice in which the two words have opposite meanings. The best answer choice is "short is to long," since "short" and "long" are antonyms.

Peace and war are traditionally seen as opposites, just as ice and fire are, so "ice is to fire" is the correct answer.

High and low have opposite meanings, just as wide and narrow do.

"Hungry" and "full" are antonyms of one another because they have opposite meanings, so to solve this analogy, you need to determine the best available antonym of “malicious.” “Malicious” means is spiteful or done out of hatred, so the best antonym is "affectionate," a word that means fond or done out of fondness for someone.

"Pleasure" and "pain" are opposites, just as "kindness" and "meanness" are opposites, so "kindness is to meanness" is the correct answer. None of the other answer choices consist of words that are opposites, so none of them can be the correct answer.

“Backward” and “forward” are opposites, or antonyms, so we need to pick out an answer choice that also consists of a pair of antonyms. While “famished is to hungry” and “never is to always” might each look like a potentially correct answer, “famished” is an adjective that means “extremely hungry,” so “famished” and “hungry” are actually synonyms, not antonyms, so “famished is to hungry” cannot be the correct answer; however, “never” and “always” are opposites, just like “backward” and “forward” are opposites, so “never is to always” is the correct answer.

Both sets are antonyms.  

“Dynamic” means moving and “static” means standing still or not moving. These two words are opposites of one another, which means that to solve this analogy, you need to determine which of these words is the opposite of “hearty.” “Hearty” means loud, lively, and happy, so the best antonym is “feeble,” which means weak and pathetic. To provide further help, “dominant” means leading and in charge; “terse” means brief; and “alert” means watchful.
