Answer: Fronton

A velodrome is an overall indoor bicycle track (where bicycling occurs), as a Fronton is the court where Jai alai is played.

5. (cata : (tonic : gin)) is to (epi : (center : front)) as (para : (dictatorship : military)) is to ____?

Answer: (tele : (call:phone))

If you were to draw an arrow at the first part, then you would get a pattern showing you the words catatonic, gin and tonic. By following this pattern, the second part becomes epicenter, front and center.

Using the same idea with a slightly different pattern, the second part of the analogy shows you a pattern that leaves you with the following: paramilitary -> military dictatorship. Using this pattern on the 4 possible answers yields the following:

telephone, phone call;
forward, ward psycho;
demiman, man god;
dispair, pair locate.

Telephone and phone call are the obvious choice.

6. If all jeebs are creebs, and some creebs are reebs, some reebs must be jeebs.

Answer: False

Some creebs may, indeed, only be creebs, too.

7. Select the item that doesn't fit: Da Vinci is to Artist as ______?

Answer: Newton is to Gravity

Da Vinci was an artist, Lincoln was a lawyer, Eisenhower was a general, Hitler was an artist, and Newton DISCOVERED gravity.

Answer: legerdemain is to sleight of hand

Dictionary.com defines triskaidekaphobia as "fear of the number 13", littoral as "on a coastal or shore region", fortuitous as "happening by chance", munificent as "very generous", and legerdemain as "slight of hand".

9. Juju is to magical as ____?

Answer: fatuous is to foolish

Dictionary.com defines the following: juju as an "object superstitiously believed to embody magical powers". Chagrin is defined as "acute vexation or embarrassment". Taciturn is "not apt to talk or speak". Tortuous is "marked by repeated turns and bends", and fatuous is "weak; silly; stupid; foolish".

10. Obstreperous is to obedient as effulgence is to ___?

Answer: bleak

The analogies are antonyms. Dictionary.com defines effulgence as a flood of light, or great luster. Obstreperous is defined as noisily defiant.
