Since ice cream can be served in a cone, which acts as its container, we need to pick out a word that describes what sort of container coffee is served in. While "bean" may look like a good answer choice because coffee is made from coffee beans, coffee is not served in beans, so "bean" can't be the correct answer. Since coffee is served in a cup, which acts as its container, "cup" is the correct answer.

Ice cream is often served in cones, so we need to pick out an answer choice that describes on or in what a popsicle is served. While “stick,” “spoon,” and “plate” may each look like a potentially correct answer, “popsicle” is defined as “a piece of flavored ice or ice cream on a stick,” so because popsicles are served on sticks just like ice cream is served in cones, “stick” is the correct answer.

Since birds live in nests, we are looking for an answer in which the first word is a place where the second word lives. The best answer is "doghouse is to dog" because dogs often live in doghouses!

Since socks are put on feet, we are looking for an answer in which the first answer is typically placed on the second answer. The best answer is "glove is to hand" because gloves are typically placed on hands!

An ocean is filled with water, so we are looking for an answer choice that describes what a desert is filled with. The best answer choice is "sand."

A bowl can be used to hold cereal, so to solve this analogy, you need to pick out what kind of a container is often used to hold lemonade. A "pitcher," which means a jar used to hold and pour beverages, can be used to hold lemonade, so "pitcher" is the correct answer.

We wear gloves to keep our hands warm just as we wear socks to keep our feet warm, so "gloves" is the correct answer.
