Common misconceptions
  • Tries to find a word that 'goes with' D rather than identifying the A:B relationship first.
  • Confuses MEMBER-OF (sonnet is a TYPE of poem) with PART-WHOLE (petal is a PART of flower).
  • Confuses SYNONYM analogies with ANTONYM analogies within the same relationship band.
