They also have unique adaptations such as shock-absorbing tissues in their skulls to protect their brains from the impact. Therefore, the correct answer is bird.

    What does it mean if a case investigation runs cold?

    • Criminals are free

    • Law enforcement is weak

    • Evidence and witnesses no longer cooperate

    • The possibility of solving the case is almost impossible

    Correct Answer
    A. The possibility of solving the case is almost impossible
    Explanation
    If a case investigation runs cold, it means that the possibility of solving the case is almost impossible. This suggests that despite initial efforts, the investigation has reached a point where there is little or no new evidence or leads to pursue. This could be due to a lack of cooperation from witnesses and the absence of any substantial evidence, making it difficult for law enforcement to make progress in solving the case.

    Which of the following is the odd one out? 

    • Cat

    • Dog

    • Fish

    • Elephant

    Correct Answer
    A. Fish
    Explanation
    Explanation: Among the options given (Cat, Dog, Fish, Elephant), the fish is the odd one out because it is the only one that is not a mammal. Cats, dogs, and elephants are all mammals, characterized by features such as mammary glands and typically giving birth to live young (except for a few exceptions like monotremes). Fish, on the other hand, are cold-blooded vertebrates that typically lay eggs and breathe through gills.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which number should come next in the sequence: 2, 6, 14, 30, 62?

    • 126

    • 94

    • 128

    • 150

    Correct Answer
    A. 126
    Explanation
    To find the next number in the sequence, we need to understand the pattern. Observing the sequence:
    2 to 6: Difference of 4
    6 to 14: Difference of 8
    14 to 30: Difference of 16
    30 to 62: Difference of 32
    The pattern in the differences between the numbers is that each difference is double the previous difference (4, 8, 16, 32...).
    Continuing this pattern, the next difference should be 64 (since 32 doubled is 64). Adding 64 to the last number in the sequence (62) gives:
    62 + 64 = 126

    A farmer has 17 sheep, and all but 9 die. How many are left? 

    • 8

    • 9

    • 17

    • 0

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    The statement "all but 9 die" implies that only 9 sheep survive. The phrase "all but" indicates that everything except the specified number has perished. Therefore, despite starting with 17 sheep, only 9 remain after the others have died.

    Which of these seemingly unbelievable facts is actually true?

    • It snows metal on Venus. 

    • There's a species of jellyfish that can live forever. 

    • Cleopatra lived closer in time to the invention of the iPhone than the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza. 

    • All of the above are true.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above are true.
    Explanation
    As surprising as they may seem, all of these facts are accurate. Venus experiences metallic snowfall due to its extremely high temperatures and atmospheric pressure. The Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish can revert to its polyp stage after reaching adulthood, theoretically making it biologically immortal. And Cleopatra, while an ancient Egyptian queen, lived closer to our modern era than the construction of the pyramids.

    How many months have 28 days? 

    • One

    • Four 

    • Six

    • Twelve

    Correct Answer
    A. Twelve
    Explanation
    While February typically has 28 days in a common year and 29 days in a leap year, all twelve months of the year technically have at least 28 days. This is because even months with more than 28 days, such as January, March, May, etc., still include the initial 28 days.

    What does it mean when a thing sells like hotcakes?

    • Expensive

    • Hot

    • Cheap

    • Desirable

    Correct Answer
    A. Desirable
    Explanation
    When a thing sells like hotcakes, it means that it is highly desirable and in high demand. The phrase "sells like hotcakes" is used to describe a product or item that is selling quickly and effortlessly, just like hotcakes or pancakes that are popular and quickly bought at a breakfast restaurant. Therefore, the correct answer is "desirable" because it accurately captures the meaning of the phrase.

    Who is known as the father of modern medicine? 

    • Hippocrates

    • Herodotus

    • Aristotle

    • Guttenberg

    Correct Answer
    A. Hippocrates
    Explanation
    Hippocrates is known as the father of modern medicine because he was a Greek physician who revolutionized the field of medicine in ancient times. He is credited with establishing medicine as a separate discipline, distinct from other branches of science. Hippocrates emphasized the importance of observation, clinical examination, and the natural healing process of the body. He also developed the Hippocratic Oath, which set ethical standards for medical practice. His teachings and principles laid the foundation for modern medicine and greatly influenced the development of medical knowledge and practices throughout history.

     How many sides does a circle have? 

    • None 

    • One 

    • Two 

    • Infinite

    Correct Answer
    A. One 
    Explanation
    A circle can be defined as a continuous curve that is always the same distance from a central point. This continuous curve forms a single, unbroken boundary, meaning a circle has one side. While it may appear to have no sides or infinitely many, those are misconceptions.
