The Second One

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to test and improve a student’s ability to identify analogies. Titled simply “Analogies,” the worksheet provides clear instructions at the top: students are asked to circle the correct second part of each analogy from a set of multiple-choice options. The worksheet includes a variety of analogical comparisons, spanning from tangible, everyday objects to abstract concepts, which helps to develop critical thinking and reasoning skills in different contexts.

The worksheet features nine questions, each with three possible answers. The analogies challenge students to draw connections between items based on their relationships, such as habitat, function, or emotional equivalence. For example, one analogy prompts the student to link “Shark is to ocean” with a comparable habitat relationship, while another asks them to find the equivalent of “Smile is to happy.”

Accompanying illustrations, like a reading character, add an element of engagement and context to the activity. The design of the worksheet is clean and straightforward, with ample space for students to mark their answers without feeling cramped. By working through these analogies, students can hone their ability to discern relationships and improve their language comprehension.
