Hi, this seems like these are the analogies presented in Dr. Collins study kit. At first I thought that relationships was the main thing to know. However, it is more important to remember the analogies because I hear they may appear on the real thing. The English prof...told me so I think her name is Jane. She is one of Collin's affiliates.

My best guess to explanations:

maple: deciduous as red:apple

maple wood is brown and covers deciduous trees just like the color red encloses an apple

canoe:sailboat as iron:copper

2 types of boats and 2 types of metals

patient:ill as treatment: disease

A patient is usually the cause of an illness and a treatment is usually the cause of a disease.

A treatment causes a disease???? I don't think so. Are you sure this is written correctly. Can someone else explain this please?

I'm not really sure about the first one... A maple may be an example of a deciduous tree, and a red (apple) is one variety of apple?

For patient:ill as treatment: disease, my best guess is that you are not a patient unless you are ill. Likewise, you do not seek treatment if you do not have a disease. So, a general form could be, No A without B (in A:B).

I think he meant treatment is the result of disease as to patient is result to an ill person? I don't know how to explain it -__-"

I don't really see how that was appropriate. The OP is asking for help, she wasn't given a very clear answer. It was great of you to clear it up, but done in an awesomely obnoxious manner.
