SSAT Middle Level: Verbal › Location Analogies
Which word best completes the analogy: Toys : Toy chest :: Tools : ___?
Chest
Toolbox
Garage
Hammer
Explanation
This question tests SSAT Middle Level skills: understanding analogies and the relationship of location and containment. An analogy shows how two pairs of words are related. In this case, the relationship is about where something is found or contained. In the given analogy, each pair of words illustrates a specific location-based relationship, requiring an understanding of how the second word relates to the first in terms of place or containment, such as 'Bee : Hive'. The correct answer, Toolbox, is right because it completes the analogy by maintaining the same type of location relationship as the initial pair, where toys are stored in a toy chest and tools in a toolbox. A common distractor, Garage, fails because it misinterprets the location relationship by assuming a larger space instead of a specific container. To help students: Encourage them to identify the key relationship in the first pair of words and apply it to the second pair. Practice with various analogy types to build familiarity with different relationships.
