    • 4560

    • 4460

    • 4650

    • 4450

    Correct Answer
    A. 4560
    Explanation
    The pie charts provide information about the percentage of students in each faculty at York University and the number of non-US residents in the Arts faculty. We are given that there are 1049 students in the Arts faculty. To find the total number of students in the university, we can calculate the sum of the number of students in each faculty. The percentage of students in the Arts faculty is not provided, so we cannot determine the exact number of students in the university. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined based on the given information.

    • 48

    • 66

    • 120

    • 57

    • 43

    Correct Answer
    A. 57
    Explanation
    Since the pie chart shows the percentage of students in each faculty, we can calculate the number of science students by multiplying the percentage by the total number of students in the faculty. Given that there are 1049 students in the Arts faculty, we can calculate the number of science students as follows: 6% of 1049 = 0.06 * 1049 = 62.94. Since the number of students must be a whole number, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 62. Therefore, the correct answer is 62, not 57.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A train traveling at 60mph enters a terminal that is 5 miles long. The train is one mile long. How many minutes does it take for the train to pass the tunnel?

    • 7

    • 4

    • 10

    • 5

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    The train is traveling at a speed of 60mph, which means it covers a distance of 60 miles in one hour. Since the train is one mile long, it will take 1 minute for the entire train to pass a stationary point. However, in this case, the train is passing through a tunnel that is 5 miles long. Therefore, it will take an additional 5 minutes for the train to completely pass through the tunnel. Hence, the total time it takes for the train to pass the tunnel is 1 minute (for the train length) + 5 minutes (for the tunnel length) = 6 minutes.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the numbers is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers?

    • P-2

    • P

    • P+2

    • P+4

    • 2p+4

    Correct Answer
    A. P+4
    Explanation
    When each of the numbers is increased by 2, the new product can be calculated by multiplying (p+2) with (p+2). This simplifies to p^2 + 4p + 4. Twice the sum of the two original numbers is 2p. The difference between the new product and twice the sum of the two original numbers is (p^2 + 4p + 4) - 2p = p^2 + 2p + 4. Therefore, the new product is p+4 greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following can be used to illustrate that not all prime numbers are odd?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    • 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The number 2 can be used to illustrate that not all prime numbers are odd because it is the only even prime number. Prime numbers are defined as numbers greater than 1 that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. While most prime numbers are odd, 2 is an exception to this rule as it is divisible by 1 and 2, making it the only even prime number.

    W is greater than 1          Quantity A                       Quantity B             7w – 4 2w+5

    • Quantity A is greater

    • Quantity B is greater

    • The two quantities are equal

    • The information cannot be determined from the information given

    Correct Answer
    A. The information cannot be determined from the information given
    Explanation
    The given information states that "W is greater than 1." However, this is the only information provided, and we do not have any specific values for W. Without knowing the exact value of W, we cannot determine the relationship between the two quantities. Therefore, the information provided is not sufficient to determine whether Quantity A is greater, Quantity B is greater, or if the two quantities are equal.

    • 15x

    • 20x

    • 30x

    • 60x

    Correct Answer
    A. 15x
    Explanation
    The given sequence is a list of multiples of x. Starting with 12x, each subsequent number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by a factor of x. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 15x, obtained by multiplying 12x by a factor of 5/4.

    Before his marriage, the Duke had led an austere existence and now regarded the affectionate, somewhat                           behavior of his young wife as simply puerile. 

    • Restrained

    • Frivolous

    • Ungainly

    • Controlled

    • Grandiloquent

    Correct Answer
    A. Frivolous
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Frivolous." The sentence states that the Duke had led an austere existence before his marriage, implying that he was serious and restrained. However, he now views the affectionate behavior of his young wife as puerile, which means childish or trivial. This suggests that he sees her behavior as frivolous, lacking in seriousness or importance.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Wilson contends that human beings inherit a tendency to feel an affinity and awe for other living things, in the same way that we are _            ___ to be inquisitive or to protect our young at all costs.

    • Predisposed

    • Taught

    • Encouraged

    • Pressurized

    • Trained

    Correct Answer
    A. Predisposed
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Predisposed". The word "predisposed" means having a tendency or inclination towards something. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that human beings have a natural inclination or tendency to feel an affinity and awe for other living things. This is compared to other innate behaviors like being inquisitive or protecting our young. Therefore, "predisposed" is the most suitable word to complete the sentence and convey the intended meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The pond was a place of reek and corruption, of ____ smells and of oxygen-starved fish breathing through laboring gills.

    • Fragrant

    • Evocative

    • Dolorous

    • Resonant

    • Fetid

    Correct Answer
    A. Fetid
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Fetid" because it accurately describes the unpleasant and foul smells associated with the pond. The sentence indicates that the pond is a place of reek and corruption, suggesting that it emits strong and offensive odors. "Fetid" means having an extremely unpleasant or offensive smell, making it the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    There may be a threshold below which blood pressure reductions become ________ given that a long-running study showed no decreased heart risk for drops in blood pressure below a certain point.  

    • Worthwhile

    • Indiscernible

    • Significant

    • Superflous

    • Arduous

    Correct Answer
    A. Superflous
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "superflous". This means that blood pressure reductions below a certain point may not have any additional benefit or significance in terms of decreasing heart risk. The long-running study mentioned in the question showed that there was no decreased heart risk associated with drops in blood pressure below a certain threshold. Therefore, any further reductions in blood pressure beyond that point would be considered unnecessary or superfluous.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

    • Gracious

    • Indifferent

    • Ecstatic

    • Crestfallen

    • Disgruntled

    Correct Answer
    A. Ecstatic
    Explanation
    The candidate would have been disingenuous if she appeared indifferent, crestfallen, or disgruntled when her opponent won the election. However, by congratulating the victor, she showed that she was gracious.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Amusingly enough, lawyers sometimes drive their sports cars in the same fashion that they construct their cases: a lawyer noted for the                           of his argument, for example, may also be known for the circuitousness of his routes.

    • Brevity

    • Pertinacity

    • Judiciousness

    • Conciseness

    • Indirectness

    Correct Answer
    A. Indirectness
    Explanation
    The answer "Indirectness" is the correct choice because the sentence states that lawyers drive their sports cars in the same fashion that they construct their cases. It implies that just as lawyers may take circuitous routes while constructing their arguments, they also drive their cars in a similarly indirect manner. This suggests that the lawyer's driving style is not straightforward or direct, but rather characterized by indirectness.

    • Bravado

    • Idiosyncrasies

    • Latitude

    Correct Answer
    A. Idiosyncrasies

The sentence suggests that the person being described is well-known and admired by the public, but despite this, he is able to maintain his unique and peculiar characteristics or behaviors. "Idiosyncrasies" refers to individual quirks or eccentricities that make someone distinct from others.

    A. No less remarkable than the invention of nuclear power
    Explanation
    The phrase "no less remarkable than" is used to compare the level of remarkableness between two things. In this case, it is comparing the invention of nuclear power to something else that is also remarkable.

    • Book

    • Index

    • Glossary

    • Chapter

    • Synopsis

    Correct Answer
    A. Book
    Explanation
    The word "Book" does not belong with the others because it is the only word that is a general term for a written or printed work, whereas the other words are specific sections or parts of a book. "Index," "Glossary," "Chapter," and "Synopsis" are all components or divisions within a book that serve specific purposes, while "Book" refers to the entire publication itself.

    • Decrease

    • Maintain

    • Increase

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease
    Explanation
    The relationship between "guide" and "direct" is that a guide provides direction.

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantity B is greater
    Explanation
    Since Bill is the 25th person from the front and Jane is the 125th person from the front, there are 100 people between Bill and Jane. Therefore, Quantity B (100) is greater than Quantity A (the number of people between Bill and Jane).

    At the end of a banquet, 10 people shake hands with each other. How many handshakes will there be in total?

    • 100

    • 20

    • 45

    • 50

    • 90

    Correct Answer
    A. 45
    Explanation
    In this scenario, each person shakes hands with every other person once. To calculate the total number of handshakes, we can use the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of people. In this case, there are 10 people, so the calculation would be 10(10-1)/2 = 45. Therefore, there will be a total of 45 handshakes.
