Analogy and Classification
How to name the relation inside an 'A is to B' pair and carry it across, and how to find the shared property that four items have and the odd one lacks.
What you will be able to do
- State the relation in an analogy pair as a short sentence before choosing.
- Apply the same relation, in the same direction, to the second pair.
- Solve number and letter analogies using arithmetic and position gaps.
- Find the single property that separates the odd one out from the rest.

Two shapes, one skill
Analogy gives a pair that share a relation and asks you to complete a second pair the same way: stone is to sculptor as clay is to ____.
Classification (odd one out) gives four or five items of which all but one share a property, and asks for the exception.
Both turn on the same move: state the relation or the shared property in plain words, then test the options against that sentence.
