Putting Words Into Groups 3
This is the third of our four quizzes on Putting Words into Groups. Finding the relationship between lists of words is something you may be asked to do in your 11+ Verbal Reasoning exam, so practising now (and making sure you understand what to do with these types of question) will reap rewards in the long run.
You may come across some words you are not familiar with. If this happens, do not be alarmed. Look at the words you do know and find out how they are related. Doing this might help you to rule out some potentially wrong answers, and so help you find the right one.
Also, finding words you do not yet know is a good thing – grab yourself a dictionary and look them up. This is a great way to increase your vocabulary which will improve your English.
Example:
Below are four groups of words. All of those in the same group are connected in some way. Once you have worked out what the connection is between the words in each group, decide which group the test word goes in to.
Group A: Asthma, Influenza, Tuberculosis
Group B: Spotty, Freckled, Greasy
Group C: Fig, Apple, Grape
Group D: Trio, Quartet, Single
Which group does CLEAR belong in?
The words in Group A are all illnesses. Group B contains words which refer to the state of someone's skin. The words in Group C are all fruits. Group D’s words describe the number of things.
Someone’s skin could be described as ‘clear’ so it belongs in Group B
