1. TRIGLYPHS is to SPLIT as PROBOSCIS is to SCOOP (odd letters reading backward)

2. CUP is to COUPLE as NAYS is to NASAL (add L phonetically)

3. HALVE is to ALIVE as THOSE is to HOUSE (put letter after T in middle of remaining 4 letters)

4. DOWNFALL is to UPRISE as OVERCOME is to UNDERGO (double antonym)
