I was going to reply to the effect that there's no such word as inhume, but I double checked first and I'm glad I did, because...
...I'll be damned! It is a word! And it's not (in Collins or Merriam-Webster) marked as archaic or anything.
So first of all: I learned something today.
Second of all: you're absolutely correct, it is 100% the most exact analogue and clearly correct answer. Even if it's not the "official" answer, it should at the very least be accepted as a type-in.
An intern is an apprentice or trainee in a certain field. The word you're looking for is inter, which is accepted.
A preface is an introduction that isn't part of the actual narrative ("I first got the idea for this book on a trip to Athens when I was 15...), while a prologue is an introduction that is part of the narrative (say, narrating an important event that happened to the protagonist when they were a child that affects the main narrative where they're an adult.) The latter more nearly parallels epilogue, which takes place after the conclusion of the main narrative showing what happened afterwards (often a "five years later" kind of thing.)
Tennessee Williams should work for "Adrian is to Sylvester Stallone". Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky and Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire. (Sylvester Stallone created Adrian and Tennessee Williams created Stella.)
If you want the answer to be an actor, the analogy would have to be something like "Talia Shire is to Adrian as Vivien Leigh is to Stella".
I hear you but I'm not sure if that's a strong enough link. If the question was about creating characters then the characters' full names would be used.
To avoid ambiguity, I'd personally use Wilson is to Tom Hanks instead.
I think i tried every other possible entry, outside of Marlon Brando. Stanley, Stanley Kowalski, everything but the actor. I'd like to justify by saying lots of people have played the part, but there has only been one Rocky, but that's mostly because i feel dumb for missing it!
I do feel Tennessee Williams should be accepted as both he and Stalone wrote each one, respectively. But, I understand why you would focus on the actor
I had no chance at this one because I have not seen Rocky, and I have never heard of Adrian used as a female name. I assumed that Stallone had played a character named Adrian.
Okay, here's the solution: put "Adrian" and "Stella" in quotes, to make it obvious that you're looking for the person who said (yelled) it, not the person who created the character.
I know it's annoying not to get to type full words, but 'distil' is standard UK/Commonwealth spelling so you should probably allow it.
Also, it's weird to have "see" as the answer for omniscient - that would be omnivident. I know "know" is a type-in, but surely it's the better (and indeed the only technically correct) answer.
Camou + flage = Camouflage, which means to mask yourself within the surroundings.
It's technically an analogy but simply splitting up 3 syllable words into increments of 2 syllables at the front and 1 syllable at the back isn't a particularly strong link.
Yeah, that one definitely took me a minute. My first reaction to "sine" was "related to China" (e.g.: "sinitic" and so forth). Was scratching my head for a while before it finally dawned.
This one was the biggest stretch to me. If the separated "half words" had meanings of their own, it would make more sense - but without that, it feels nonsensical.
Yeah I feel kind of stupid for not getting it while writing it out, but thats also not really an analogy to me. Its just the word endings, they don't really connect in any other way.
It's not an analogy based on meaning, it's a pattern based on first-two/last one syllable in each overall word. It's a poor choice of question for this quiz because it's about pattern recognition rather than the comparative relationships of the terms.
I got the Limou/Camou one right away but it may be easier to not capitalize the 2nd part. I know others are capitalized too but at least those are all existing words.
Did anyone else try Stephen Collins for the Stella question? I thought it was a fair guess on the basis of romantic interest character to co-actor in the same movie (Adrian to Rocky/Stallone and Stella to Stephen Davis/Collins respectively).
Having seen the required answer, suggest that the clue be updated to include "Yo, Adrian!" and "Hey, Stella!". This and the use of quotation marks would make it clearer that these are lines said during particular movies by the corresponding actor.
I saw the Stella clue and could only think of the 1990 movie Stella, rather than Streetcar Named Desire.
I tried crash for recession and robe gown dress etc for defrock.. You get rid of them in both cases. (the used one might be better but I had not heard of that)
I didn't get the limou/camou question, but it's not as bad as people say. Both of those words are commonly abbreviated to limo and camo, so there is a connection. It is, however, a different kind of analogy and is thus out of place in this quiz.
Would "inter" be an alternate solution for one of the clues?

Indeed, the dictionary definition of omniscient is "knowing everything". Etymology:
early 17th century: from medieval Latin omniscient- ‘all-knowing’, based on scire ‘to know’.
Limou + sine = limousine, which is a vehicle.
Camou + flage = Camouflage, which means to mask yourself within the surroundings.

Omniscient doesn't mean what is written here...
Not the best one here.
