Just looking for a brief answer/explanation

[objectivityofcontradiction]

I'm entering my second week of GRE prep. I've been logging about 3-4 hrs a day and I'm feeling good about my preparation thus far. Today I took a post-test in one of my study books and did really well, only missing 3 out of 30 questions. However, one of the questions I got wrong has been driving me crazy and I was hoping some one on here might be able to provide me with an explanation for why the answer I chose is incorrect.

It's a "choose the answer that gives the pair of words whose relationship is most like the relationship expressed in the pair of capitalized words.." question.

CHAMPION : SUPPORT :

I narrowed it down to two choices, C and E. I chose E) iconoclast : criticize, the answer was C) apologist : defend. I understand that apologists defend beliefs, ideas, etc. I also understand that Iconoclasts criticize current, widely-accepted ideas and beliefs.

Why was I wrong?

Yay studying, but analogies aren't on the revised GRE anymore! I guess studying them could still help, but studying them in depth is not necessary!

Hope you can find your answer though, it is totally annoying when there's no explanation.

Perhaps positive vs. negative? Support and defend are both positive; criticize is negative.

agschmidt has it correct. The relationships of champion/support and apologist/defend are both positive, while iconoclast/criticize is more negative. Best of luck with the new gre!

yeah, I echo the above comments that you shouldnt be studying analogies anymore. get a new GRE practice book.
