• A research study – Guinea pig, Participant, Subject, Volunteer.
• To take a position – Disapprove, Spirit, Objection, Protest.
• ___Horn – Bull, Fog, Matter, Shoe.

For my second group, I chose the words Protest and Disapprove. It took me a few minutes to find Mind and Object to put them together. Now, the yellow group was pretty easy if you could remember the color of the things associated with each word, which I couldn’t. At least not right away. So I had to mess up a few tries before I understood the concept behind it.
