I challenge palm is to hand as sole is to foot. I think the more appropriate response is "heel is to foot". Sole encompases the entire bottom of the foot, where as the palm does not encompass the entire bottom of the hand.

Considering palms have heels as well, I cannot agree with you there. There is no perfect correlation between them, but I think that sole comes closer.

I was thinking "arch" might be better. Looked it up, and it seems the technical term is "medial longitudinal arch," but as noted for a couple other clues, the analogy isn't exact.

I somewhat dislike the assumption that Genesis is primarily known as the beginning of the Christian Bible. It is also the beginning of the Torah, so Deuteronomy, or the beginning of the Old Testament, so Malachi?

Honestly I just don't love the question, when some readers will be intimately and immediately familiar with the "right" "wrong" answer, and would suggest you reverse the question so that Revelation is the given, or change it otherwise as you see fit.

Good point. Changed it so that Revelation is revealed and you must guess Genesis.

For the Greek letter question, why is the first one lower case but the second one upper case?

Many of these are formulated the wrong way. To give one example: there's no particular relationship between Kolkata and Mumbai. The question should be: Kolkata is to Calcutta as Mumbai is to ____. Some are correct, for example: Pinatubo is to Luzon as Etna is to ____.

The correlation of Kolkata to Mumbai is that they are both the updated, corrected names of cities in India. Therefore, if the old colonial name for Kolkata is given, it stands to reason that they are looking for the same for Mumbai.

Yes, I'm not saying it's difficult to work out the answer. My point is that many of the questions don't actually say what they mean, including that one.

In the logical construct "A is to B as X is to Y", the relationship between A and B should be the same as the relationship between X and Y. In this case, as you say, the relationship is about post-colonial renaming of cities in India: Kolkata is the post-colonial name for Calcutta just as Mumbai is the post-colonial name for Bombay. But that's not what the question says. It says A is to X as B is to Y.

You're just wrong. The analogy is formulated perfectly fine. It was actually one of the easier ones on here, so...you just didn't get it and that's okay!

I got hung up for a while on the Charles/English one, because I thought the connection being made is that Charles is the King of England, and it wanted the name of the King of Spain, so I kept trying Felipe.

Couldn't the answer to the "Charles is to England as _____ is to Spain" be Felipe? The English/British monarch is Charles so it would make sense if Felipe was a possibility.

It said English/Spanish not England/Spain. Also, there hasn't been a King of England for more than 300 years.

The link between English and the UK and Spanish and Spain is more solid than some of the others on this list. And certainly more logical than Charles/Carlos being a connection.

From my side of the Atlantic, it wasn't obvious that casket meant coffin.

Pretty much every funeralcare service in the UK uses both terms, although often a distinction is made in that a coffin is the traditional six-sided shape or perhaps trapezoidal while a casket is a rectangle.

I had no idea what a caboose was, I have heard the word, but didn’t know the meaning. I think we use a different term this side of the pond. Not sure I would have got the answer anyway.
