GAT: Picture Analogies

Direction: This type of reasoning question is similar to word analogies and is solved in
the same way as you solve word analogies. The question has a set of two pictures that

choose one picture that would go in the empty box so that pictures in the second set
are related to each other in the same way as the pictures in the first set are related to
each other.
