Reasoning by Analogy questions: The student is presented with four boxes. The two on the top row share a relation. The one box on the bottom row should share the same relation with one of the boxes in the answer choices. The student need to pay attention to details and figure out what is the relation of the top row boxes and apply it on the remaining box with one of the boxes in the answer choice.
