“Surf,” when used as verb, means “ride on the crest of a wave, typically while riding on a surfboard.” So, one surfs on the surface of water, and we need to pick out an answer choice in which the first word is an activity, and the second word is the environment in or surface on which that activity typically takes place. While “ski is to snow” and “swim is to lava” might each look like a potentially correct answer, one does not usually swim in lava, and would not be advised to, so “swim is to lava” cannot be the correct answer. However, one can ski on snow, just as one can surf on water, so “ski is to snow” is the correct answer.

Since ice cream can be served in a cone, which acts as its container, we need to pick out a word that describes what sort of container coffee is served in. While "bean" may look like a good answer choice because coffee is made from coffee beans, coffee is not served in beans, so "bean" can't be the correct answer. Since coffee is served in a cup, which acts as its container, "cup" is the correct answer.

Since a star is a single unit that, when combined with other stars, forms a constellation, we need to find a single unit that, when combined with others, creates a whole class. Since many students make up a class, the correct answer would be "student." At first glance, the answer may appear to be teacher, as every class is led by a teacher, but a class is made up by a body of students and has only one or two teachers. In addition, a teacher is the head of the class but is not part of the class itself.

The word "secondary" refers to something that happens second, the second in a list of something. So, to solve this analogy you have to determine which one of these words means something that happens first, the first in a list of something. The correct answer is therefore "primary." To provide further help, "humorously" means done with humor; "universally" means by everyone, always relevant; "tertiary" means happening third; "unnaturally" means done unusually, done in a way that is not natural or normal.

Snow is something that falls in flakes, just as rain is something that falls in drops.

The edge of "land," where the "land" meets the ocean, is generally called the "coast." So, to solve this analogy you need to figure out which of these words means something like the place where one nation ends, the line that divides one nation from another nation. The correct answer is "border." To help you "nation" is basically another word for "country."
