Analogy

misjudge:assess
(A)miscontrue:interpret
(B)misperceive:explain

The answer is A. I chose B.

Here is my reason. If someone makes a mistake when he is assessing, someone else will misjudge something. So, if someone makes a msitake when he is explaining, someone else will misperceive something.

What's wrong with my reasoning?

censoship:information=sanitation:disease

Antipathy means a strong feeling of aversion, dislike, or repugnance. B would be a good antonym for "apathy".

I think the problem lies with adding the second person.

misjudge = incorrectly assess
misconstrue = incorrectly interpret

misperceive is not equal to incorrectly explain

Thanks, MNY!

IMO, this analogy is a bit obscure.

Censorship eliminates some information.
Sanitation eliminates some diesease.

That's probably how they saw it.

Ah!!!!! I see. Thanks for the word, apathy!

Right! The second person should be out.

Elimination!!!!! That makes perfect sense!

You won't mind if I ask you a few more questions, will you?

Here you go!

log:ship
(A)diary:person
(B)archive:data

The answer is (A). I was wandering between A and B. And I chose the latter. What bad luck!

A log is something that records a journey.
An archive is something that records information.
A Diary is something that records a person's daily life.

The diary/person is out because it is "ship" is nonperson.

What do you think?
