Putting Words Into Groups 4
So, you have made it to the last quiz in this section – give yourself a pat on the back! By now you should be quite good at grouping related words and ready to tackle these kinds of question if you come across them in your Eleven Plus Verbal Reasoning exam.
A large vocabulary and a good knowledge of English will serve you well here. They will also help in many other situations – at school, in everyday life, and in your future career. I can’t stress enough how important is to read as often and as much as you can.
Practise makes perfect, so go through these quizzes again at some point in the future. The more often you test yourself, the better prepared you will be for your exam.
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
