"Past and future" may be the answer but not "past and present".

I think AFTER and BEFORE are opposite ends with respect to something in between them. Suppose, BEFORE CHRIST- AFTER CHRIST.

So this is refered to time dimension, hence contemporary: history refers the similar connection.

Can anyone explain the basic concept of verbal analogies?

ANANYA ADHIKARY said:   1 decade ago
Successor: a pesson or thing that succeeds another.
Predessor: a thing that has been followed or replaced by another.

That means Succesor comes AFTER predessor and Predessor comes BEFORE successor.

Hence I feel this is the closest relationship with After:Before.

Why d? I feel present and past has the closest relationship rather than successor:predecessor!
