Complete ANALOGIES (a:b::c:d) using 4 word-relationship types (CCSS L.6.5.b)

Complete analogies in a:b::c:d format by identifying the relation type: synonym/antonym, part/whole, cause/effect, item/category. Reverse-check analogies (b:a::d:c). Apply analogies as a vocabulary-acquisition tool and as an argumentative move (clarifying claim through analogy).
