Homologous

homologous \huh-MOL-uh-guhs; hoh-\, adjective:
corresponding in position, proportion, structure, value, or other property

Milk?

No, that's not right. She must be thinking of "homogenized". Homogenized milk. And that absolutely does not make sense with this question. God, how she hated these damn tests. And these stupid analogies. Who honestly thinks these things prove, or disprove, intelligence?

Hemoglobin?
Blood? Does that sound right?

What was she even doing here? It was feeling like a waste of time. She hadn't even studied, for godsake! (Wasn't that obvious?) She'd almost forgotten about the thing all together. If not for her sister's phone call, she would probably have missed it, without a second thought. It was her sister's idea in the first place, wasn't it? But do you think she, her sister, would pay for it? No. Of course not. It was good for
her to spend the money on such things, she said. Focus on the future. Show some responsibility. Take a step in the right direction. Well, what the hell? What was she stepping towards?

And what the hell does "homologous" mean??
