Apply same logic to Bird Bird lives in... what?

Check options (a) Nest - Yes, bird lives in nest (b) Sky - Bird flies in sky, doesn't live there (c) Tree - Some birds live in trees, but not specific (d) Fly - This is an action, not a place Answer: (a) Nest Worked Example 2: Question: Pen : Write :: Knife :

Relationship between Pen and Write Pen is used to Write (tool-function relationship)

Apply to Knife Knife is used to... what?

Check options (a) Sharp - This is a quality, not function (b) Cut - Yes, knife is used to cut (c) Steel - This is material, not function (d) Kitchen - This is a place, not function Answer: (b) Cut Shortcut Formula 3 - REVERSE CHECK METHOD: After selecting answer, reverse the relationship. If Bird : Nest, then does Nest : Bird make sense? Yes, nest belongs to bird. This confirms your answer
