1.d An emissary and messenger do the same thing.


2.c A citadel is a structure;a stronghold , elevated , as a courtyard is walled.


3.d Herald sends the message; mail carrier sends the letter


4.b Medieval (a time period) is to a way of life.





Did my best but not really sure of these. Hopefully someone else


confirms of corrects .
Reply:The first analogy, emissary: messenger, is testing knowledge of synonyms. They're essentially the same. So doctor: physician makes the most sense. The others aren't synonyms.





A citadel is an elevated structure. Here the analogy asks that you find a noun defined by a characteristic adjective. Most courtyards are walled. The other adjectives don't characterize their nouns.





A herald proclaims a message. The analogy is a person and a noun that results from the action of person performing a role or job. So a mail carrier carries a letter.





Medieval: gothic is an analogy that (again) presents two partial synonyms. Gothic style in architecture (not the modern "goth" look) first appeared in the medieval period. Intentional: purposeful matches the analogy best.





Good luck.
