Analogy:  In general analogy is a parallel that is drawn between two different, but sufficiently similar events, situations, or circumstances. A verbal analogy draws a parallel between one pair of words and another pair of words. In easier words analogy is basically an indirect method of testing your vocabulary. There is a pair of words given which has a certain relationship which needs to be identified and then you need to choose the correct option.
