CSE Double-Word Analogy Test

Here’s a CSE double-word analogy reviewer for those of you who are looking to sharpen their analogy skills. Finding out the answers to double-word questions is one of the harder parts of the Civil Service exam. You have to have a decent amount of knowledge in vocabulary as well as know the relationships of words in order to ace this test. Take a look at some word relationship that you should know before taking a word analogy quiz.

Synonym:	benevolent : kind courage : bravery
Antonym:	hot : cold loose : tight
Cause and effect:	rain : flood virus : flu
Association:	addition : addend chef : toque
Degree:	hut : mansion glance : stare
Sequence:	preschool : grade school engagement : marriage
Function:	net : fishing scissors : cutting
Characteristics:	cheetah : fast snow : cold

Here’s an example of a double-word analogy. It is important to know the relationship between words and their particular order as shown below;

finger : hands

A. car : road
B. petal : flower
C. daughter : mother
D. monitor : data center

The relationship that is shown in the example above is called a part to whole relationship. In the example, finger is part of the hand. A finger is also an important part of the hand. We can see that among the choices, only letter B, petal and flower have the same relationship. When answering CSE double-word analogy tests, always remember that order is important. If the question is part-is-to-whole, the answer should also be part-to-whole.
