A "jewel" is a precious stone, a gem. And a "joule" is a unit of measurement used to measure energy. These words are "homonyms" because they sound the same but have different meanings. Which of these words sounds the same as, but has a different meaning to, "fore?" The correct answer is "four."

Since "bear" and "bare" are homophones, we are looking for an answer choice that includes words that sound the same when spoken aloud. The only answer choice that fits this criterion is "meat is to meet."

"Stare" and stairs are almost homophones, but the plural -s ending in "stairs" makes these two words not exactly alike when spoke aloud.

Since "sea" and "see" are homophones, we are looking for an answer choice that includes words that sound the same when spoken aloud. The only answer choice that fits this criterion is "read is to reed."

Since "hear" and "here" are homophones, we are looking for an answer choice that includes words that sound the same when spoken aloud. The only answer choice that fits this criteria is "dear is to deer."

An author writes a book, so to solve this analogy, you have to figure out what it is that a poet writes. The correct answer is a “poem.” To help you, a "tome" is a long book, and a "narrator" is the person telling a story.

An artist produces (makes) a painting, so to solve this analogy, you need to pick out the answer choice that describes what a musician produces. A musician produces music, and a song is a form of music, so "song" is the correct answer.

Soil comes from the ground just like wood comes from a tree.

What do "writer" and "book" have in common? A writer can write a book, so look for an answer that demonstrates the relationship someone is to something they make. Here "baker is to bread" works, because a baker makes bread. A "driver" "drives," but he or she does not make "drives." "Table is to carpenter" would work, but it's backwards!

A storm produces lightning, so we need to pick out an answer choice that describes what a blizzard produces. “Blizzard,” when used as a noun, means “a severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility,” so blizzards produce snow like storms produce lightning, making “snow” the correct answer.

An actress’s job is to make movies, so we need to pick out an answer choice in which the first word is a noun that describes an occupation that makes or creates the second word, another noun. While “painting is to painter” and “writer is to book” might each look like a potentially correct answer, “painting is to painter” cannot be correct, because while “painting” can be used as a noun, it does not indicate the profession of someone who makes paintings—that would be “painter.” So, because it’s not the job of a painting to create painters, “painting is to painter” cannot be the correct answer. Some writers make their living by writing books, however, just as actresses make their livings by making films, so “writer is to book” is the correct answer.
