Hi,
Sorry to burst your bubble but I am doubtful about some of your answers and some are clearly wrong. I hope this criticism is taken in the positive spirit.

Some changes: (I haven't gone through the whole list yet)


8. BLANDISHMENT:COAX::
(A) medal:honor
(B) budget:save
(C) diary:reminisce
(D) concertlay
(E) plea:threaten


I'm pretty sure the right answer isn't [D], my guess would be [E] because they're mild variations of each other.


9. ATTENTIVE:OFFICIOUS:: officious is meddelesome pretending to be attentive
(A) doubtful:ambiguous
(B) absorbed:engrossed
(C) refined:snobbish
(D) magisterial:authoritative
(E) impromptu:spontaneous


I think the closest answer is [C]

There are some more errors in that .doc document, so just be warned that it's not 100% right, and @coolpaggy: it would have been better if you had mentioned that you're not sure about all the answers when you upload such a file, because some poor sods may actually end up confused by the wrong answers therein.

SUBSIDY : SUPPORT::


(A)assistance: endowment

(B)funds : fellowship

(C)credit : payment

(D)debt : obligation

(E)loan : note



A “subsidy” is a form of “support,” in particular, financial support. A rationale for this analogy could be “X is a kind of Y.”

(A)is not the answer. An “endowment” is a form of financial “assistance,” but “assistance” is not a kind of “endowment.”

(B)is not the answer. “Funds” could be used to provide a “fellowship”(a stipend), but “funds” are not a kind of “fellowship.”

(C)is not the answer. “Credit” can be used in place of “payment”; it is not a kind of “payment.”

(D)is the answer. A “debt” is a kind of “obligation,” often a financial one. (E)Is not the answer. A “note” is an acknowledgment of a “loan,” but it is not itself a kind of “loan.”

no5 is A
