How do you determine the difference between an example or counterexample and an analogy in a stimulus?

    Hi @Abby, Thanks for the question! I’d say that these words are used in a fairly intuitive way. An “example” is just an instance of some general statement. A “counterexample” is similar, but goes against a general statement. An analogy compares two things. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
