    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    What number should replace the question mark?1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, ? 

    • A.

      44

      47

    • D.

      50

    Correct Answer
    C. 47
    Explanation
    The pattern in the sequence is that each number is obtained by adding the previous two numbers. For example, 1 + 3 = 4, 3 + 4 = 7, 4 + 7 = 11, and so on. Therefore, to find the missing number, we need to add 29 and 18, which gives us 47.

    All the given options are related to creative arts, except for "Poet" which is specifically related to literature and writing. The other options are related to performing arts, such as acting, painting, and dancing. Therefore, "Poet" is the odd one out.

      125

    Correct Answer
    D. 121
    Explanation
    The numbers 8, 27, 64, and 125 are all perfect cubes, as they can be expressed as the cube of an integer (2^3, 3^3, 4^3, and 5^3 respectively). However, 121 is not a perfect cube, as it cannot be expressed as the cube of any integer. Therefore, 121 is the odd one out in this sequence.

      24

    • D.

      26

    Correct Answer
    C. 25
    Explanation
    The pattern in the series alternates between subtracting 1 and adding 2. It starts with 22, then subtracts 1 to get 21, adds 2 to get 23, subtracts 1 to get 22, adds 2 to get 24, and so on. Therefore, the next number should be obtained by subtracting 1 from the previous number, which is 24. Hence, the number that should come next is 25.

      Hard

    • B.

      Hardly

    • C.

      Tough

    • D.

      Toughly

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Hard". This is because the word "hard" is an adverb that describes the intensity or manner in which she works to get into the program. It shows that she puts in a lot of effort and dedication. "Hardly" is an adverb that means almost not or barely, which does not fit the context. "Tough" is an adjective that describes something difficult or challenging, but it does not describe the way she works. "Toughly" is not a standard adverb form and does not fit grammatically.

The sentence is a hypothetical condition in the past, and the past perfect subjunctive is used to express unreal or contrary-to-fact situations. The phrase "Had the room been brighter" correctly conveys this meaning.
