The best strategy to use when completing analogies problems is the bridge sentence strategy. Bridge
sentences are helpful because they enable the student to instantly recognize the answer pair by plugging it
into the bridge sentence formulated from the question pair. If the bridge sentence works with both the
question pair and answer pair, then you know you have found the correct answer. To learn more about
bridge sentences, please look at the following examples:
