Lemme just watch other answer the questions, cos I need to be clarified by you when this is over.

The word analogy is the a form of reasoning in which a similarity between two or more things is inferred from a known similarity between them in other respects.

Simply put, it's similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar.

For example;

Portrait is to picture as ___ is to book.

A) ethnography

B) biography

C) autobiography

In this case, answer would be biography.

Reasons; Portrait is to a picture.

Portrait can be defined as a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person.

Picture is simply a painting or drawing

Both definitions depicts them as similar but necessary not the same thing. Portrait is more complex, while picture is more simpler. But their similarity brought them together. A picture can be upgraded into a portrait by housing it in a frame.

Okay, now let's look at book.

It's a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.

Then take a look at the 4 options and try to find one that have the most similar aspect. If you look closely you will see that it's biography.

Now let's defined biography: An account of someone's life written by someone else.

Where was the account written in?

In a book.

Do you see the similarity now? It's what is known as analogy.

Someone might contest the argument by pointing out that autobiography also have a similar nature.

Not really. Autobiography is more personal than the impersonal nature of both book and biography definitions.
