A
Sometimes analogies can be based on what is called a "degree of
difference" relationship. In this case, the words in the given pair
are similar in meaning, but one word is greater in degree than the other
word. For example, "sip" and "gulp" both refer to drinking, but they
differ with respect to amount. That is, the word "gulp" is greater in
degree than the word "sip." The word pair "tap : slam" is analogous to
"sip : gulp" because "slam" is more extreme than "tap."
