Word Patterns

Verbal Reasoning: Paper A

Instructions:

Identify how the word in the brackets is formed from the two words on either side. Apply the same rule to the second group to find the missing word.

Example:

( man [ mat ] tip )

( bug [ ? ] dew )

Logic:

1. Take the first two letters of the first word (man).

2. Take the first letter of the second word (tip).

3. Combine them: ma + t = mat.

Apply to second group: bug + dew = bud.
