Question type
Analogy
The one idea it tests
An analogy question wants the same relationship, not the same topic.
The basic logic
Describe the role in abstract terms: who has the power, what they do to whose work, and why. Then find the choice where someone in a new setting plays that exact role.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “most like”
  • “in order to”
  • “imposes”

Playground logic

The penny-pinchers are money people who force cheaper materials onto someone else's craft to save money. Find someone who cheapens another person's work to cut costs.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 6 in your official copy and answer it first.

Strip the phrase down to its role: who controls money, what they do to the creator's work, and why. Write that role in one generic sentence. Test each choice against every part of the role. Drop choices that match only the money part or only the art part. The answer matches the whole relationship.
