2. Think about what relationship exists among the words.

i. Are they all animals? All mammals? All dogs? And so forth.
3. review ALL of the answer choices

b. For type 2 questions, figure out which word in the question stem doesn't fit with the other three words. Determine which three words are most similar, and the remaining fourth word is the correct answer.
