- A.
B2C2D
- B.
BC3D

B. BC3DExplanation
The pattern in the series is that the letter 'C' is being incremented by 1 in each term. Additionally, the number after 'C' is being incremented by 1 in each term. Therefore, in the missing term, the letter 'C' is incremented by 1 to become 'D', and the number after 'C' is incremented by 1 to become '3'. Hence, the missing term is BC3D.Rate this question:

Logically analyze the information given below and answer this question: How much rain did Mile City get? Five cities all got more rain than usual this year. The five cities are: Last Stand, Mile City, New Town, Olliopolis, and Polberg. The cities are located in five different areas of the country: the mountains, the forest, the coast, the desert, and in a valley. The rainfall amounts were: 12 inches, 27 inches, 32 inches, 44 inches, and 65 inches. * The city in the desert got the least rain; the city in the forest got the most rain. * New Town is in the mountains. * Last Stand got more rain than Olliopolis. * Mile City got more rain than Polberg, but less rain than New Town. * Olliopolis got 44 inches of rain. * The city in the mountains got 32 inches of rain; the city on the coast got 27 inches of rain.
- A.
12 inches
- B.
27 inches
- C.
32 inches
- D.
44 inches
- E.
65 inches
Correct Answer
B. 27 inchesExplanation
Mile City got more rain than Polberg and less rain than New Town. We know that New Town is in the mountains and got 32 inches of rain, while the city on the coast got 27 inches of rain. Therefore, Mile City, which got more rain than Polberg but less than New Town, must have received 27 inches of rain.Rate this question:

Logically analyze the information given below and answer this question: What day does Uma do her task? Five roommates Randy, Sally, Terry, Uma, and Vernon each do one housekeeping task mopping, sweeping, laundry, vacuuming, or dusting one day a week, Monday through Friday. * Vernon does not vacuum and does not do his task on Tuesday. * Sally does the dusting, and does not do it on Monday or Friday. * The mopping is done on Thursday. * Terry does his task, which is not vacuuming, on Wednesday. * The laundry is done on Friday, and not by Uma. * Randy does his task on Monday.
- A.
Monday
- B.
Tuesday
- C.
Wednesday
- D.
Thursday
- E.
Friday
Correct Answer
D. ThursdayExplanation
Uma does her task on Thursday. This can be determined by analyzing the given information. We know that Vernon does not vacuum and does not do his task on Tuesday, so Tuesday is eliminated as a possibility for Uma's task. Sally does the dusting and does not do it on Monday or Friday, so Monday and Friday are also eliminated. The mopping is done on Thursday, so Uma cannot be doing the mopping. Terry does his task, which is not vacuuming, on Wednesday, so Wednesday is also eliminated. The laundry is done on Friday and not by Uma, so Uma's task cannot be laundry. Therefore, the only remaining option is Thursday, making it the day when Uma does her task.Rate this question:

- D.
Ms. Farmer tells her class that students who fail the midterm exam will be expected to stay after school for tutoring help.
Correct Answer
C. Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.Explanation
Franny's act of using spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall falls under the category of willfully destructing or defacing school property, which is one of the conditions for a Five-Day Suspension in the Maple Hill school district. This action directly violates the school's rules and is considered a serious offense, resulting in the suspension. Lillian's cheating, Marc's disruptions, and Ms. Farmer's tutoring announcement do not involve physical assault or willful destruction of school property, and therefore do not meet the criteria for a Five-Day Suspension.Rate this question:

(D)
- E.
(E)
Correct Answer
D. (D)Explanation
Statement I and II are both effects of independent causes. The fact that the prices of petrol and diesel in the domestic market have remained unchanged for the past few months could be due to various factors such as government regulations or stability in the supply and demand of these fuels in the domestic market. On the other hand, the increase in crude oil prices in the international market could be due to factors such as geopolitical tensions, changes in global demand, or fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Therefore, both statements are independent effects of different causes.Rate this question:

A dice is numbered from 1 to 6 in different ways. If 1 is adjacent to 2, 3 and 5, then which of the following statements is necessarily true?
- A.
4 is adjacent to 6
- B.
2 is adjacent to 5
- C.
1 is adjacent to 6
- D.
1 is adjacent to 4
Correct Answer
A. 4 is adjacent to 6Explanation
If 1 is adjacent to 2, 3, and 5, it means that 1 shares an edge with these numbers on the dice. Since 4 is not mentioned as being adjacent to 1, it is not necessarily true that 4 is adjacent to 6. Therefore, the correct answer is not 4 is adjacent to 6.Rate this question:

- A.
1 is opposite to 5
- B.
4 is opposite to 6
- C.

- D.
1 is adjacent to 2 and 3
Correct Answer
D. 1 is adjacent to 2 and 3Explanation
If 2 is opposite to 3 and adjacent to 4 and 6, then it can be inferred that 1 is adjacent to 2 and 3. Since 2 is opposite to 3, and 1 is adjacent to 2, it follows that 1 must be adjacent to 3 as well. Therefore, the statement "1 is adjacent to 2 and 3" is necessarily true.Rate this question:

- B.
13
- C.

- D.
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
C. 15Explanation
The total of the numbers on the top faces of the four dice is 13, and since each die has six faces, the total sum of all the faces on the four dice is 4 times 6, which equals 24. The faces touching the ground are the bottom faces of the dice, which are not visible in the given information. Therefore, the total of the faces touching the ground cannot be determined.Rate this question:

Sherlock, A detective who was mere days from cracking an international smuggling ring has suddenly gone missing. While inspecting his last-known location, you find a note: 710 57735 34 5508 51 7718 Currently there are 3 suspects: Bill, John, and Todd. Can you break the detective's code and find the criminal's name?
- A.
Bill
- B.
John
- C.
Todd
- D.
Sherlock
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. BillExplanation
The answer "Bill" can be derived from the note by looking at the numbers. Each number represents the number of letters in each word of the suspects' names. For example, "710" represents the word "Bill" because it has 3 letters. Similarly, "57735" represents the word "John" because it has 4 letters. By decoding the numbers in this way, we can determine that the criminal's name is Bill.Rate this question:
