The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analogy Completion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

dim : faint :: chilly : cold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer: cold<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Analogies test the relationship between pairs of words. To solve \u201cdim : faint :: chilly : ?\u201d<\/strong>, we must first understand the relationship between dim<\/strong> and faint<\/strong>, and then apply the same logic to chilly<\/strong> and the answer choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Analyzing the first pair:<\/strong>\n
      \n
    • Dim<\/strong> and faint<\/strong> are synonyms<\/strong>. Both words describe something lacking intensity.\n
        \n
      • Dim<\/em> describes low light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Faint<\/em> describes something weak, unclear, or barely perceptible\u2014often light, sound, or even feelings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • In this case, dim<\/strong> and faint<\/strong> both imply weakness or low intensity<\/strong>, particularly in terms of visibility or presence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Applying to the second pair:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • Chilly<\/strong> describes mild cold<\/strong>\u2014not extreme cold, but noticeably cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Among the answer choices (hot<\/strong>, snow<\/strong>, and cold<\/strong>), we need the one that has the same relationship to \u201cchilly\u201d<\/strong> as faint does to \u201cdim.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Evaluating the options:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Hot<\/strong>: This is the opposite<\/strong> of chilly, so it cannot be the correct answer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Snow<\/strong>: While related to cold, it is not a synonym<\/strong> of chilly. It\u2019s a noun, not an adjective like \u201cchilly,\u201d and refers to a weather condition, not a temperature sensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Cold<\/strong>: This is a synonym<\/strong> of chilly, just as faint is a synonym of dim. \u201cCold\u201d can be considered a stronger version<\/strong> of \u201cchilly,\u201d just as \u201cfaint\u201d can be seen as a softer version of \u201cdim.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Therefore, the correct analogy is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            dim : faint :: chilly : cold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Both pairs are related through synonymy<\/strong>, where the second word describes a similar quality, typically at a slightly different intensity level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
