I choose not to answer these questions. The analogies are tricky and the only questions that taxed me. Your last question does not put down the possible answers completely. (Yes, that’s a hint.) In some questions, only one answer is the proper part of speech–noun, verb, etc., thus the answer should be fairly obvious.
