Meg,
By verbal part, I am assuming you mean the Verbal Comprehension Index. It consists of three required subtests: Similarities(determining how two concepts are alike), Comprehension (open ended reasoning and social judgement), and Vocabulary (defining words).
Examples of Similarities questions:
How are "horse" and "cow" alike?
How are "minute" and "week" alike?
How are "happy" and "sad" alike?
Examples of Comprehension questions:
-Why do we have laws?
-Why do we cook food?
-What does "to kill two birds with one stone" mean?
Example of Vocabulary questions:
--What is "articulate"?
--What is a "poem"?
--What is "designate"?
