Putting Words Into Groups 2
Welcome to the second in this series of Eleven Plus Verbal Reasoning quizzes on Putting Words into Groups. If you have played the first, then you’ll know that, to answer these questions, you will be grouping similar or related words together.
If you have not yet played the first quiz, then please go back to it. These kinds of question are ones which many candidates slip up on when they take their exam, so the more practice you get, the better prepared you will be.
As always, take your time and don’t rush through the quizzes. If you can’t work out the relationship between the words in a group, finding what links the words in other groups can lead you to the answer through a process of elimination.
Good luck!
Example:
Below are four groups of words. All of those in the same group are connected in some way. Once you have worked out what the connection is between the words in each group, decide which group the test word goes in to.
Group A: Asthma, Influenza, Tuberculosis
Group B: Spotty, Freckled, Greasy
Group C: Fig, Apple, Grape
Group D: Trio, Quartet, Single
Which group does CLEAR belong in?
The words in Group A are all illnesses. Group B contains words which refer to the state of someone's skin. The words in Group C are all fruits. Group D’s words describe the number of things.
Someone’s skin could be described as ‘clear’ so it belongs in Group B
