Messy is to organized as awake is to __________.
Since "messy" is the opposite of "organized," we need to pick out an answer choice that is the opposite of "awake." While "asleep" and "tired" may both look like potentially correct answers, "asleep" is the better answer, because the opposite of tired would be a word like "energetic," not "asleep." Since "asleep" is an antonym of "awake," just like "messy" is an antonym of "organized," "asleep" is the correct answer.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Hungry is to full as . . .
Since "hungry" and "full" are opposites, we need to pick out another pair of words which are also opposites. Since "exhausted" ("very tired") is an opposite of "energetic," "exhausted is to energetic" is the correct answer.

Urban is to rural as __________.
Since "urban" means "in, relating to, or characteristic of a city or town," and "rural" means "in, relating to, or characteristic of the countryside rather than the town," the two words are opposites. So, we need to pick out an answer choice which includes two words that are opposites. Two answer choices include two adjectives, "left is to right" and "sorry is to apologetic," and "sorry is to regretful" cannot be the correct answer because "sorry" means the same thing as "regretful." "Left is to right" is the correct answer because just like urban is the opposite of rural, left is an opposite of right.

Welcome is to excluded as prepared is to . . .
"Welcome," when used as an adjective, means "of a guest or new arrival: gladly received," and "excluded" is an adjective that means "deny (someone) access to or bar (someone) from a place, group, or privilege," so the two words are antonyms. That means that we need to pick out an answer choice that consists of two antonyms. "Ready" cannot be the correct answer, then, because "ready" is a synonym, not an antonym, of "prepared." "Unready," however, is an antonym of "prepared," just like "welcome" is an antonym of "excluded," so "unready" is the correct answer.

Backward is to forward as __________.
“Backward” and “forward” are opposites, or antonyms, so we need to pick out an answer choice that also consists of a pair of antonyms. While “famished is to hungry” and “never is to always” might each look like a potentially correct answer, “famished” is an adjective that means “extremely hungry,” so “famished” and “hungry” are actually synonyms, not antonyms, so “famished is to hungry” cannot be the correct answer; however, “never” and “always” are opposites, just like “backward” and “forward” are opposites, so “never is to always” is the correct answer.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Friend is to enemy as . . .
“Friend” and “enemy” are nouns that are opposites, or antonyms, so we need to pick out an answer choice that consists of two nouns which are also opposites. While “confidence is to shyness” and “justice is to fairness” might each look like a potentially correct answer, “justice” is a noun that means “the quality of being fair and reasonable,” so “justice” and “fairness” are synonyms, not antonyms, and “justice is to fairness” cannot be the correct answer. “Confidence,” however, is a noun that means “a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities,” while “shyness” is a noun that means “the quality of feeling nervous and uncomfortable about meeting and talking to people.” So, because “confidence” is an antonym of “shyness” just as “friend” is an antonym of “enemy,” “confidence is to shyness” is the correct answer.

Active is to inactive as amateur is to __________.
"Active" means energetic and lively and is an antonym of "inactive." To solve this analogy, you need to figure out the best available antonym of "amateur." Someone who is an "amateur" is not paid for their work, so the only acceptable antonym is “professional.” None of the other answer choices are antonyms of "amateur": "employed" means having a paid job, "income" is the money one earns by working; and "taxes" are the portion of money that the government takes from your income.

Appearance is to disappearance as champion is to __________.
Appearance is an opposite, or antonym, of disappearance, which you can infer from the negative prefix "dis-" in "disappearance." An "appearance" is an instance of someone or something showing up, while a "disappearance" is an instance of someone vanishing or not being able to be found. So, to solve this analogy, you have to determine the best antonym of "champion." A "champion" is a winner, so the answer choice that is an antonym of "champion" is “loser.” As for the other answers, "vanish" means disappear suddenly, but we need to pick out a noun for the blank, because "champion" is a noun. So, "vanish" cannot be the correct answer. "Victor" means champion, but because "appearance" and "disappearance" are opposites, not synonyms, we need to pick out an opposite, or antonym, for the blank. So, "victor" cannot be the correct answer either. "Match" and "win" are each words that can be used as nouns and can be used to describe competitions which might choose a "champion," but neither word is an opposite of "champion," so neither of them can be the correct answer.

Cowardly is to brave as ignorant is to __________.
"Cowardly" is an antonym of "brave," so to solve this analogy, you have to figure out the best antonym of "ignorant." Someone who is "ignorant" is stupid, and does not know very much. The word that is the best opposite of "ignorant" is “wise,” which means very intelligent. To help you, "vulnerable" means in danger, and "timid" and "meek" both mean shy.

Happy is to sad as greedy is to __________.
"Happy" is the opposite of "sad," so to solve this analogy, you have to figure out which of these answer choices is an opposite of "greedy." To be greedy means selfish and keeping things for oneself instead of sharing them, so "generous" has the opposite meaning and is the correct answer. As for the other answer choices, "envious" and "jealous" both mean desiring something that belongs to someone else.

Dead is to alive as awake is to __________.
"Dead" is the opposite of "alive," so to solve this analogy, you have to figure out which of these answer choices is an opposite of "awake." The opposite of awake is “asleep," so "asleep" is the correct answer. For clarification, "lonely" is a feeling of sadness caused by being alone and desiring to be around other people.

Wet is to dry as hot is to __________.
"Wet" is the opposite of "dry," so "wet" and "dry" are antonyms_._ So, to solve this analogy, you have to figure out the best antonym of "hot." "Cold" is the answer choice that is the best opposite of "hot, "so "cold" is the correct answer. To help you, "warm" means slightly elevated in temperature, and "boiling" means very hot.
