"Leonine" means of or related to "lions," or characteristics of "lions." So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which animal is described by the word "aquiline." The correct answer is "eagles." For additional help, "bovine" means related to cows and "equine" means related to horses.

A "swineherd" is a farmer who keeps "pigs." So, to solve this analogy you simply need to determine what it is that an "apiarist" keeps. The correct answer is than an "apiarist" is a "beekeeper."

"King" is the name for a male royal ruler, and "queen" is the name for a female royal ruler. So, we need to find another set of words where the first word refers to a male of something and the second to a female of that same thing. While "waitress is to waiter" may look like a good answer choice, it is not correct, because the words are in the opposite order; whereas "king is to queen" goes male is to female, "waitress is to waiter" goes female is to male. Since "lion" refers to a male cat of that species and "lioness" a female one, and "lion is to lioness" follows the pattern male is to female, "lion is to lioness" is the correct answer.

To solve this problem you have to determine which of these answer choices is often used as a female equivalent of "governor." The correct answer is "matron" which means governess, woman in charge of the maintenance of something. Additionally, "philanthropist" means person who gives to charity; a "suffragette" was a woman who campaigned for the right to vote (for the right to 'suffrage'); a "magnate" is a tycoon, a successful person in business.

A "bachelor" is an unmarried man, likely to be single for a long time. So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these matches this same definition for a woman. The correct answer is a "spinster," although it is worth noting that in contemporary society the term "spinster" (and for that matter "bachelor") can carry negative connotations. Additionally, a "matron" is a female governor; a "damsel" is a female character in a story, usually young and beautiful, who needs to be rescued by the male protagonist; "baroness" and "duchess" are both words for different types of female members of the aristocracy.

A "curmudgeon" is a grumpy or bad-tempered person. However, it is generally used almost exclusively to describe old men. Some adjectives and nouns have gendered connotations, such as "dashing" for a man or "beautiful" for a woman. To solve this analogy you need to determine which of these words might be used to describe a "female curmudgeon." The correct answer is "termagant" which means a mean-spirited or angry woman. Additionally, an "ancestor" is a family member who came before you; a "matron" is a governess, a woman in charge of domestic life for another family; a "prognosticator" is someone who predicts the future.

Answering this question requires you to know a little French revolutionary history which you will have likely covered in school. The so-called "estates" system of pre-revolution France included the First Estate - Clergy; Second Estate; "Nobility"; Third Estate - Common people. In the nineteenth century the term "the Fourth Estate" was coined to reflect the growing influence and size of the press (media). Additionally, "proletariat" is a collective name for the working class, especially within the realm of Marxism and socialism; "bourgeoisie" means the middle class, again particularly when the conversation involves Marxist political thought.

A replacement "teacher" is called a "substitute teacher." Solving this analogy therefore requires you to consider what a "replacement" mother is called. The correct answer is "surrogate." A "surrogate" is a woman who carries another woman's baby. Additionally, a "midwife" is a nurse who especially attends to births and cares for new born babies and post-partem mothers; a "mediator" is someone who helps settle a dispute between two or more parties.

The verb for to lose hair, to shed hair is "molt." So, to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these answer choices would be lost if one was "hemorrhaging." The correct answer is "blood." To "hemorrhage" is to lose blood, to bleed.

A "rivulet" is a small river, so to solve this analogy you need to determine which of these is a word for a small island. The correct answer is "islet." This is a reasonably easy problem because of the identical suffixes in "rivulet" and "islet." Additionally, an "isthmus" is a narrow section of land surrounded on both sides by water; a "peninsula" is a piece of land that is surrounded by water on every side; an "estuary" is the tidal mouth of a river, where the river runs into the ocean.
