Topic introduction

What Analogy Part 1 covers

The shape of the set before you start it.

Analogy Part 1 sits inside Reasoning, under the Analogy lane, and the portal keeps it as one self-contained set: 25 questions, four options each, 60 seconds on the clock and a written explanation behind every answer.

Attempt it untimed first to find the gaps, read why each distractor is wrong, then repeat the same set against the clock. The questions you miss twice are the ones worth writing down.
