An artist is a person. A paintbrush is an object.<\/p>\n<p>So as you\u2019re going through the answers, you\u2019re looking for a pair of words where the first one is a person and the second one is an object. Once again if you understand what this relationship is and can identify them, then the answer becomes much easier to make an educated guess if you\u2019re not absolutely certain at what the answer is.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, if you know what the answer is, go with what you know but if you\u2019re not sure, stop, take the time to break this down and then look at the answers accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><b>So let\u2019s try another example.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Alright in our example here, this is the beginning example. These are the possible answers.<\/p>\n<p>The beginning example says a gardener is to the hedge as the either wind or sculptor is to rock.<\/p>\n<p>So you might say the gardener trims or cuts the hedge, or even cuts away at the hedge. And by making that sentence you\u2019ve made a relationship between them and you sort of understand what gardeners do to hedges. Now when you come down though, the gardener takes away the hedge or cuts away the hedge, you might say the wind cuts away the rock.<\/p>\n<p>Well that\u2019s the right answer, right, because it\u2019s the same thing? The wind cuts away the rock but wait a minute! Sculptors cut away at rock. Oh no, it could be both. Which one am I going to do?<\/p>\n<p><b>Go back here to our original example.<\/b> Gardener is a person. Hedge is an object. Here, wind is an object. Rock is an object. But sculptor is a person. So if you\u2019re going to keep the relationship the same, and you\u2019re uncertain, follow this pattern, and it will become very plain that B, Sculptor, is the answer because it matches the original pattern. A gardener is a person and a hedge is an object. Sculptor is a person, rock is an object.<\/p>\n<p>So even though it\u2019s logical to talk about wind, through erosion, cutting the rock, to match the same relationship that they had in the original, you just come down here and find how it matches. Person to person. Object to object.<\/p>\n<p>Now hopefully this technique will help you out if you\u2019re looking at these word pairs and trying to understand the relationship between them. <b>Make a sentence about it but also identify what each one is.<\/b> Person or an object, that sort of thing and then find the answers below that match the same pattern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Types of Words<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-1026","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"page_type-video","6":"page_domain-english"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.2 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This video tutorial helps explain the different types of words.
