choose the word or number in the second pair that is most closely related to the first:
Potatoes are to peanuts as apples are to:
carrots    lilies   peaches   tomatoes   cucumbers?
Spain is to Argentina as Portugal is to:
Trinidad   Brazil   Mexico   Guyana   Canada?
Celsius is to 0 as Fahrenheit is to:
100   0   32   212   112
Drachma is to Greece as peseta is to:
Mexico   Italy   Canada   Brazil   Spain
Loops is to spool as straw is to:
pinker   hay   painting   warts   rosy
Napoleon is to Melba as macadam is to:
roads   poinsettia   overshoes   tress   food
Rich is to money as leafy is to:
vase  foilage   mountain   flower   dog
The number 2 is to 8 as 5 is to:
15   100   125   10   60
1789 is to France as 1648 is to:
Germany   Switzerland   New Zealand   United States   England
The letter A is to E as B is to:
C   D   G   H   Q
(if you have any explaination for your answers include them)
Analogies test...help?
1) Brazil.  In both Spain and Argentina (in S America) they speak Spanish.  Portuguese is spoken primarily in Brazil.
2) 0 celsius = 32 Fahrenheit.
3) Drachma was a Greek coin.  Pesetas were coins in Spain.   (Note: both use Euros now.)
4) Warts.  turn the word backwards.
5) Wow, this one was tricky.  Both Napoleon and Melba had foods named after them.  So the answer would be "Poinsettia," since both macadam and poinsettia are objects named after people.
6) Foliage.  A person who has money is rich, foliage is leafy.
7) 2 is to 8 as 5 is to 125 (5 cubed), among these choices.  Actually, there could be as many answers as you have rules to make them up if only given two numbers, as this example.  Follow these: 
2 is to 8 as 5 is to 11 (add 6)
2 is to 8 as 5 is to 20 (multiply by 4)
2 is to 8 as 5 is to 23 (multiply by 5, subtract 2)
2 is to 8 as 5 is to 617 (raise to the fourth power, subtract 8)
8) 1789 is to France as 1648 is to England, since the English Revolution was in 1648.
9) A is to E as B is to H
Another one where you could have multiple answers.  The rule I used here is "4 letters away."  Another pefectly good rule is "next vowel/consonant," which would give you "C" as an answer.
