    • 8 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 12
    Explanation
    The given sequence follows a pattern of adding 4 to the first number and subtracting 3 from the second number alternately. Starting with 8 and 12, we add 4 to 8 to get 12 and subtract 3 from 12 to get 9. Then, we add 4 to 9 to get 13 and subtract 3 from 13 to get 10. This pattern continues with 14 and 11. Therefore, the next two numbers in the sequence would be 15 and 12.

    “A ______ could not exist without ______.” Put the underlined word in the first blank. Try each of the answer choices in the second blank to see which choice is most logical. Guitar

    • Band

    • Teacher

    • Songs

    • Strings

    Correct Answer
    A. Strings
    Explanation
    A guitar could not exist without strings. The strings are an essential part of a guitar as they are responsible for producing sound when plucked or strummed.

    • 33

    • 53

    • 73

    • 93

    Correct Answer
    A. 53
    Explanation
    In this series, the pattern alternates between subtracting 10 and adding 20 to the previous number. Starting with 83, we subtract 10 to get 73, then add 20 to get 93, then subtract 10 to get 63. The pattern continues, so the next number should be obtained by adding 20 to 63, resulting in 83. However, this number is not given as an option. The closest option is 53, which is obtained by subtracting 30 from 83.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

     Look at this series: 83, 73, 93, 63, __, 93, 43, . . . What number should fill the blank?

    • 53

    • 73

    • 93

    Correct Answer
    A. 53
    Explanation
    In this series, the pattern is that the first number decreases by 10, the second number increases by 20, the third number decreases by 30, and so on. Following this pattern, the missing number should be 53, as it is obtained by decreasing 63 by 10.

    Which word does NOT belong with the others? 

    • Parsley 

    • Basil

    Correct Answer
    A. Mayonnaise

    • morpirquat means birdhouse

The word "quathunde" contains the word element "quat," which does not appear in the list of translated words. Therefore, "quathunde" is the most likely word to mean "houseguest" in the artificial language.

    Find out which of the answer choices completes the same relationship with the third word.   Secretly is to openly as silently is to

    •  scarcely. 

    •  impolitely. 

    •  noisily. 

    •  quietly.

    Correct Answer
    A.  noisily. 
    Explanation
    The relationship between "secretly" and "openly" is that they are antonyms, meaning they have opposite meanings. "Secretly" means to do something in a concealed or hidden manner, while "openly" means to do something in a transparent or public manner. Similarly, the relationship between "silently" and "noisily" is that they are antonyms. "Silently" means to do something without making any sound, while "noisily" means to do something with a lot of noise. Therefore, "noisily" completes the same relationship with the third word "silently".

  • 24. 

     Item in this set, you will be given a short, informational paragraph and four answer choices. Look for the statement that must be true according to the given information. The best way to approach this problem is to read the answer choices in turn, going back each time to look for that exact information in the short passage  When they heard news of the hurricane, Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans. Instead of traveling to the island beach resort, they booked a room at a fancy new spa in the mountains. Their plans were a bit more expensive, but they’d heard wonderful things about the spa and they were relieved to find availability on such short notice.   

    •  Maya and Julian take beach vacations every year. 

    •  The spa is overpriced. 

    •  It is usually necessary to book at least six months in advance at the spa. 

    • Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans because of the hurricane.

    Correct Answer
    A. Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans because of the hurricane.
    Explanation
    Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans because of the hurricane. This is evident from the passage where it states that "When they heard news of the hurricane, Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans." The other statements are not supported by the given information. There is no mention of Maya and Julian taking beach vacations every year, the passage does not indicate that the spa is overpriced, and there is no information about the usual booking requirements at the spa.

  • 25. 

    “true-false-uncertain”problems. Remember, the best way to answer questions like this is usually to draw a quick diagram or take notes. Three pencils cost the same as two erasers. Four erasers cost the same as one ruler. Pencils are more expensive than rulers. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is 

    • True

    • False

    • Uncertain

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The first two statements state that three pencils cost the same as two erasers and four erasers cost the same as one ruler. From these statements, we can conclude that the price of pencils is equal to the price of two-thirds of an eraser, and the price of erasers is equal to the price of one-fourth of a ruler. However, there is no direct comparison between the price of pencils and rulers. Therefore, we cannot determine if pencils are more expensive than rulers based on the given information. Hence, the third statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Choose your answer based solely on the information given in the first three facts. Fact 1: Islands are surrounded by water. Fact 2: Maui is an island. Fact 3: Maui was formed by a volcano. If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact? I. Maui is surrounded by water. II. All islands are formed by volcanoes. III. All volcanoes are on islands.   

    • I only

    • III only

    •  I and II only

    • None of the statements is a known fact.

    Correct Answer
    A. I only
    Explanation
    Based on the given facts, it is a known fact that Maui is an island and islands are surrounded by water. Therefore, statement I, which states that Maui is surrounded by water, must also be a fact. However, statement II, which states that all islands are formed by volcanoes, cannot be determined as a fact based solely on the given information. Statement III, which states that all volcanoes are on islands, also cannot be determined as a fact based solely on the given information. Therefore, the correct answer is I only.

    • Employment 

    • Graduation

    Correct Answer
    A. Graduation
    Explanation
    Graduation could not exist without diploma. Graduation is the act of receiving or conferring a diploma, so it is logical to say that graduation cannot happen without a diploma.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Try to use the same sentence to find out which of the answer choices completes the same relationship with the third word. Window is to pane as book is to 

    • Novel

    • Glass

    • Cover

    • Page

    Correct Answer
    A. Page
    Explanation
    The relationship between "window" and "pane" is that a pane is a part or component of a window. Similarly, a "page" is a part or component of a book. The other answer choices do not complete the same relationship as they are not parts or components of a book.

    Here are some words translated from an artificial language.  
    • migenlasan means cupboard
    • lasanpoen means boardwalk
    • cuopdansa means pullman
    Which word could mean “walkway”? 

    • Poenmigen 

    • Cuopeisel 

    • Lasandansa 

    • Poenforc

    Correct Answer
    A. Poenforc
    Explanation
    The word "poenforc" could mean "walkway" in the artificial language. This can be determined by analyzing the given translations of other words. "migenlasan" translates to "cupboard" and "lasanpoen" translates to "boardwalk." By combining the translations of "board" and "walk" from these two words, we can infer that "poenforc" would mean "walkway."

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Each problem consists of three statements.Based on the first two statements,the third statement may be true,false, or uncertain. Logic problems may appear daunting at first. However, solving these problems can be done in the most straightforward way.Simply translate the abstract relationships in the questions into real-world relationships, so you can see the facts more clearly. For example, if the problem is comparing the ages of three people, make a chart and list the names of the people and their possible ages according to the information given.Or,create a diagram using symbols to represent phrases like “older than”or “greater than.” Mara runs faster than Gail. Lily runs faster than Mara. Gail runs faster than Lily. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is   

    • True

    • False

    • Uncertain

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    If Mara runs faster than Gail and Lily runs faster than Mara, it is not possible for Gail to run faster than Lily. Therefore, the third statement contradicts the first two statements and is false.

    • Illness

    Correct Answer
    A. Thermometer 
    Explanation
    The bottom row of words consists of items related to a pediatrician or a doctor who specializes in treating children. The missing word should also be related to this context. Out of the given options, "thermometer" is the most appropriate choice as it is a medical instrument commonly used by doctors, including pediatricians, to measure body temperature. The other options, such as "baby," "doctor," and "illness," are more general and do not specifically relate to the role of a pediatrician or the context of the given words.

    • Sound

    • Display : museum

    • Artist : carpenter

    • Nail : hammer

    • Frame : picture

    Correct Answer
    A. Frame : picture
    Explanation
    The relationship between "frame" and "picture" is that a frame is used to enclose and display a picture.

Both pairs have a similar relationship of one item being used to enclose or protect another.

He wants to investigate and end this situation as soon as possible, so he has asked the recess aides to watch closely. Which situation should the recess aides report to the principal?   

    • A girl is sitting glumly on a bench reading a book and not interacting with her peers. 

    •  Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack. 

    •  Two boys are playing a one-on-one game of basketball and are arguing over the last basket scored. 

    •  Three boys are huddled over a handheld video game, which isn’t supposed to be on school grounds.

    Correct Answer
    A.  Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack. 
    Explanation
    The situation that the recess aides should report to the principal is when four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack. This situation indicates a potential case of bullying, as the girl may be being targeted or harassed by the group of girls. It is important for the principal to be aware of this situation so that appropriate action can be taken to address the bullying and ensure the safety and well-being of all students.

    The questions ask you to determine the direction of a particular place in relation to other places. For these problems, instead of making a chart or grid,draw a very simple map and label North, South,East,and West to help you see where the places are located in relation to each other.  All spotted Gangles have long tails. Short-haired Gangles always have short tails. Long-tailed Gangles never have short hair. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is 

    • True

    • False

    • Uncertain

    Correct Answer
    A. Uncertain
    Explanation
    The third statement is uncertain because it doesn't provide enough information to determine its truthfulness. The first two statements establish a correlation between tail length and hair length in Gangles, but the third statement doesn't provide any information about the relationship between tail length and hair length. Therefore, we cannot determine whether long-tailed Gangles can have short hair or not based on the given information.

    Today’s high school students spend too much time thinking about trivial and distracting matters such as fashion. Additionally, they often dress inappropriately on school grounds. Rather than spending time writing another detailed dress policy, we should make school uniforms mandatory. If students were required to wear uniforms, it would increase a sense of community and harmony in our schools and it would instill a sense of discipline in our students. Another positive effect would be that teachers and administrators would no longer have to act as clothing police, freeing them up to focus on more important issues. This paragraph best supports the statement that 

    •  inappropriate clothing leads to failing grades.

    •  students who wear school uniforms get into better colleges. 

    •  teachers and administrators spend at least 25% of their time enforcing the dress code. 

    •  students are not interested in being part of a community. 

    •  school uniforms should be compulsory for high school students.

    Correct Answer
    A.  school uniforms should be compulsory for high school students.
    Explanation
    The paragraph suggests that making school uniforms mandatory would have several positive effects, including increasing a sense of community and harmony in schools, instilling discipline in students, and allowing teachers and administrators to focus on more important issues instead of enforcing dress codes. This supports the statement that school uniforms should be compulsory for high school students.

    Explanation
    Eileen should choose Marty's because it serves delicious, hearty meals in a charming setting reminiscent of a baseball clubhouse. This would be the best choice for her husband, who would prefer a casual atmosphere and being in jeans at a baseball game rather than a suit at a fancy restaurant. Additionally, Marty's is owned by Marty Lester, a former major league baseball allstar, which adds to the appeal for her husband.

    Answer questions on the basis of the information below. Frances : Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast improves young children’s ability to learn. However,it is not the responsibility of the schools to provide this meal; it is the responsibility of each child’s parents. Lars : Although it would be nice if the schools could provide each child with a healthy breakfast, the cost of doing that takes money away from other,more important learning resources,such as the purchase of new computers.In the long run, children learn more when the schools concentrate on the services they traditionally provide and the parents do what they are supposed to do. What main assumption underlies each statement? 

    •  As teachers become more scarce, schools will have to learn to be more cost-effective in recruiting new teachers. 

    •  In the information age,the equipment schools must purchase for their students is getting more expensive.

    • The study about students and breakfast is inconclusive at best, and more studies should be conducted to find out if school breakfasts are healthy. 

    •  Schools have never had the responsibility for supplying students with breakfast; rather, they spend their money on teachers, books, and other tangibles of education

    •  Parents are not assuming enough responsibility for their children’s education and should become more involved in school issues.

    Correct Answer
    A.  Schools have never had the responsibility for supplying students with breakfast; rather, they spend their money on teachers, books, and other tangibles of education
    Explanation
    The main assumption underlying Frances' statement is that schools have never had the responsibility for supplying students with breakfast. Instead, schools prioritize spending their money on teachers, books, and other tangibles of education. This assumption suggests that it is the parents' responsibility to provide a healthy breakfast for their children, not the schools.
