PARTNERS
Some things just go together. Like salt and pepper, bread and butter, or a knife and fork. They're PARTNERS. That's the basis of another sort of analogy. Here's an example:
S A L T : P E P P E R : : B R E A D : B U T T E R
You would read this analogy "salt is to pepper as bread is to butter". In your mind, you should be thinking "salt and pepper are partners, just like bread and butter." Some times, the creators of analogies get tricky, and they split the pairs up, like this:
S A L T : B R E A D : : P E P P E R : B U T T E R
You have to figure out that the partners have been separatated when this happens!
