"Bewildered" and "flummoxed" are synonyms that both means confused. "Munificent" means generous, so you must identify the answer choice that is the best synonym of generous. The correct answer is “magnanimous,” which describes someone who is generous and kind. For clarification, "benign" means not harmful; "severe" means intense; and "morose" means very sad.

"Waffle" and "drivel" are synonyms that both refer to pointless or useless speech.

Since "azure," when used as an adjective, means having a bright blue color, and when used as a noun means a bright blue color, "blue" and "azure" are synonyms. So, we need to pick out an answer choice in which both words are synonyms—in this case, in which both words to the same color. Since "cerulean" means deep blue, "yellow is to cerulean" cannot be the correct answer. Neither can "brown is to verdant" since "verdant" can mean green like lush vegetation. Similarly, "green is to crimson" is not correct either since "crimson" means a dark red color and neither is "pink is to vermillion," since "vermillion" refers to a bright shade of orange-red. "Red is to ruddy" is the correct answer because "ruddy" means having a reddish color.

"Deciduous" plants are those which lose their leaves annually (as opposed to pine and other evergreen trees that retain their needles throughout the winter and into the spring). The word literally comes from Latin roots meaning to fall downward. The “de-” prefix means down from (as in “descend”) and the “-ciduous” is related to the same and similar forms found in “cadence” and “accident.” Etymology aside, the analogy is one of member-to-class. Something deciduous is a type of arboreal plant. ("Arboreal" meaning pertaining to trees). Thus, something “bodily” is best called something “corporeal.” None of the other options name the general class of bodily things. The word "corpulent," which is close (and clearly related in its roots) means fat—like having a lot of “body.”

"Placid" and "tranquil" are synonyms, as are "noxious" and "toxic."

“Regard,” when used as a verb, means “consider or think of someone or something in a specified way,” while “deem” means “regard or consider in a specified way.” So, “regard” and “deem” are synonyms, and we need to pick out an answer choice that consists of a pair of synonyms. While “confound is to astonish,” “release is to capture,” and “negate is to confirm” might each look like a potentially correct answer choice, “release” and “confirm” are antonyms, as are “negate” and “confirm,” so neither of those answer choices can be the correct answer. “Confound,” however, is a verb that means “cause surprise or confusion in (someone), especially by acting against their expectations,” while “astonish” means “surprise or impress (someone) greatly.” So, because “confound” is a synonym of “astonish” just as “regard” is a synonym of “deem,” “confound is to astonish” is the correct answer.

Evanescent is a synonym of fleeting so to solve this analogy you must determine the best available synonym for ephemeral. Ephemeral means short-lived.
