The word "Lecturer" is different from the rest because it refers to a person who delivers lectures or gives presentations, typically in an academic setting. On the other hand, "Leader," "Manager," and "Mentor" all pertain to roles or positions of authority and guidance in various contexts, such as leading a team, managing a department, or providing mentorship and support to others.

The word "Dirt" doesn't belong with the others because it is not a part of a tree or plant. "Branch," "Leaf," and "Root" are all components of a tree, while "Dirt" is a type of soil or earth.

The series alternates between subtracting 1 and adding 2. Starting with 22, we subtract 1 to get 21, then add 2 to get 23, and so on. Therefore, the next number in the series should be 25.

The word "agenda" refers to a list of business or subjects that are to be discussed or considered at a meeting. It is a common practice to create an agenda before a meeting to ensure that all necessary topics are covered and that the meeting stays on track. The other options, "schedule," "timetable," and "plan," do not specifically convey the idea of a list of business or subjects for a meeting.

The word "Ice" does not belong with the others because it is not a type of dessert or sweet treat like the other options. Cake, cookies, and lollipop are all confections that are commonly enjoyed as desserts, while ice refers to frozen water and is not typically consumed as a sweet treat.

The word "hard" is the correct answer because it is an adverb that describes the intensity and effort put into achieving a goal. In this context, it means that she puts in a lot of effort and works diligently to get into the program. The other options, "hardly," "tough," and "toughly," do not convey the same meaning and are not suitable in this sentence.

The word "Carpet" is different from the rest because it is the only item on the list that is not a piece of furniture. The other options, table, chair, and couch, are all types of furniture commonly found in a home or office. Carpet, on the other hand, is a type of flooring material.

The word "cycle" is the odd one out because it is the only word that refers to the entire object or vehicle, while the other words refer to specific parts of a bicycle. "Tyre" refers to the rubber part that makes contact with the ground, "pedal" refers to the part that the rider pushes with their foot, and "chain" refers to the mechanism that transfers power from the pedals to the wheels.

The correct answer is D. The subsequent events proved that he was innocent. This option is the best because it directly contradicts the initial investigations, suggesting that the person in question was actually not guilty of the crime.

The first statement states that the Post office has a better selection of postcards than the book store. The second statement states that the selection of postcards at the drugstore is better than at the Post office. Therefore, if both of these statements are true, it can be inferred that the drugstore has a better selection of postcards than both the bookstore and the Post office. Hence, the third statement is true.

The correct answer is M. The letter M appears once in the word "minute" and twice in the word "moment," but it does not appear in the phrase "a thousand years."

The given statement "I. Maui is surrounded by water" must also be a fact because Fact 1 states that islands are surrounded by water and Fact 2 confirms that Maui is an island. However, there is no evidence to support statement II or III, so they cannot be considered known facts.

The correct answer is 199999. The question asks for the sum of the smallest six-digit number and the greatest five-digit number. The smallest six-digit number is 100000, and the greatest five-digit number is 99999. Adding these two numbers together gives us 199999.

The original pair of words, "Tyre : Bicycle," represents a part-to-whole relationship, where a tyre is a component or part of a bicycle. Similarly, in the answer choice "PETAL : FLOWER," a petal is a component or part of a flower. Therefore, "PETAL : FLOWER" best represents a similar relationship to the original pair of words.

The numbers 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, and 343 are all perfect cubes, meaning they can be expressed as the cube of an integer. However, 121 is not a perfect cube. Therefore, 121 is the odd one out in this sequence.

In a room with three people, each person shakes hands exactly once with the other two people. Person A shakes hands with Person B and Person C, Person B shakes hands with Person A and Person C, and Person C shakes hands with Person A and Person B. Therefore, there are three handshakes in total.

The correct answer is "Had she been a good girl". This alternative is correct because it uses the correct verb form "had been" in the conditional past perfect tense to indicate a hypothetical situation in the past. The other options do not use the correct verb form or tense.

The water lily doubles in size every day, so if it covers the complete pool after 20 days, it must have covered half of the pool one day before that. Therefore, after 19 days, the water lily will cover half of the pool.
