Example Question #251 : Synonyms, Antonyms, And Changes In Intensity
Complete this analogy.
Breeze is to gale as trickle is to __________.
Possible Answers:
wind
weather
gust
drizzle
torrent
Correct answer:
torrent
Explanation:
A "breeze" is a light wind and a "gale" is a very strong and powerful wind. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is a more intense version of a "trickle." Well, a "trickle" is a slow-moving stream of water. So, the correct answer is "torrent," which means a very powerful and fast-moving stream of water. Additionally, "gust" refers to a sudden and powerful flow of wind; "drizzle" means (of rain) to fall slowly and weakly.
