So, I'm stuck on this last puzzle for my psychology homework and it has to do with word relations.  Three words are given and they're all related by putting one word either in front or behind each of them.

Example:

Stream   Upside   Town                       Answer= Down

(upstream, downtown, upside-down)

The one I need answered:

Rough   Cold   Beer                                         Answer=  ????

I put a little thought into this, and realized you are most likely not providing enough parameters. This, coupled with someone pointing out that your provided example was in fact wrong, leads me to believe it is pointless thinking about this more. The sentence I quoted, which is the "key" sentence, does not seem correct to me. I am somewhat interested, but before I devote any time to it you need to type out the assignment verbatum, with the provided examples. Make sure this is correct. Giving me an example that turns out to be wrong only gets me thinking on the wrong track, making coming up with a solution impossible.

I mean, I guess that could work, but I'm almost positive that's not the answer, because of beer day.  +k anyway for the attempt.

IQ Test Drop Box Assignment

This assignment presents 15 items that are very similar to items on an actual intelligence assessment so that you can see how one particular kind of item, measuring verbal intelligence, would appear on an IQ test.

This assignment is worth 15 points. You must send me the file containing your answers to the assignment as an attachment through the assignment’s drop box any day between Sunday, 3/20 and 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, 3/27. I will not accept any late assignments for any reason!

After you have typed in all of your answers on the answer form, save this file as either a .doc or .docx file, or as an .rtf file to your computer, then send it to me as a file attachment through the assignment’s drop box.

After I grade your assignment, I will send you an email with some comments about your answer, and your score will be made available in the course’s online gradebook.

Instructions: In this test you are presented with three words and asked to find a fourth word that is related to all three.  The fourth word may go before or after each of the other three. Write this fourth word in the space to the right. The answers are all very common, English-language words, and there are no repeated answers.

 

For example, what word do you think is related to these three?

 

Paint     Doll     Cat     _______________

 

The answer in this case is “house.” House paint, dollhouse and house cat.

 

Try to answer all 15 items, even if you have to guess!

 

1.     Ball    Home    Naval                    Base ___________

 

2.     Light    Main    Sign                     Street___________

 

3.     Car    Swimming    Cue               Pool  ___________

 

4.     Dog    Pepper    Rod                     Hot____________

 

5.     Sand    Mouse    Door                  Trap____________

 

6.     Helping    Shake    Lotion          Hand___________

 

7.     Puff    Whipped    Ice                   Cream__________

 

8.     Bowling    Safety    Hair             Pin_____________

 

9.     Sun    Bulb    Sky                           Light ___________

 

10.   Stream   Upside   Town             Down___________

 

11.    Attorney   Self   Spending      Defense_________

 

12.   House   Golf    Sandwich         Club_ __________

 

13.   Rough   Cold   Beer                   _______________

 

14.   Tug   Row   Show                       Boat____________

This is correct!  Thanks.

Rough draught (I've seen it spelled this way),  Cold draught,  Draught beer.

That one was on another level of difficulty compared to the others.

You must have had the same teacher as me. This is my exact homework assignment for psychology. I was also having a hard time with this one. I think it's draft too. Thanks!
