Extended Police Vault Quiz - Abstract And Verbal Reasoning

The two statements that together prove that Sandy is a country music singer are "Sandy sings in a band" and "Sandy's band plays country songs." These statements indicate that Sandy is actively involved in performing music and that the genre of music performed by her band is country. Since Sandy is a member of a band that plays country songs, it can be inferred that she herself is a country music singer.

The dot is on the outside in 'f'. In all the other pictures it is on the inside.

The image is a mirror image top to bottom. Or vertically mirrored.

Kimi is the only person mentioned who only has one car.

There is an alternating pattern. The first and third boxes show the open square openings at the sides with two single shapes on the inside at top and bottom.

The second and fourth boxes show the open square with openings at the top and bottom with a pair of shapes at each opening.

So it follows that the fifth box will follow the pattern of the first and third box. So we are looking for the open square (with openings on the sides) with two matching shapes at top and bottom. The correct answer is the only option that matches.

In the given sentence, we are comparing the runners in a race. Since there are more than two runners (Amy, Grace, and Callie), we need to use the superlative form of the adjective "fast". The superlative form of "fast" is "fastest". Therefore, the correct answer is "fastest" runner.

The letters are increasing by four increments. You can count this on your hand like this:

Thumb: a
Pointer Finger: b
Middle Finger c
Third finger: d
Pinky finger: e

This shows that each letter is on the thumb and pinky. Make sure you reset each count. So in this case 'e' becomes the thumb (so you sort of count it twice like this).

If you're really in a hurry on this it is a good guess that y,c is the correct response because this is the only answer that has a letter AFTER 'u'.

This question tests your vocabulary of basic words. If you have a strong vocabulary the answer will just jump out at you! Otherwise you simply try each of the four options. Be aware that this is a very easy question as the answer is one of four options. Sometime the letter options will not be provided!

It is not possible to see if anyone actually ran under the qualifying time. It is clear that Jensen's best time is not good enough to qualify.

The line of black squares alternate top to bottom with one more black square added to the line each time.

The correct plural form of "country" is "countries." When referring to more than one country, the letter "s" is added to the end of the word. Therefore, option "2 countries" is the correct plural form.

A blank picture follows the bigger circle.

One less dot each time. However the remaining dots do not move. So in the fourth progression we see a dot at the top and bottom. So we are looking for an answer with one dot remaining which will be at the top or bottom. There is only one choice.

There is one more coloured shape added each progression. They alternate on top and then below. On top and then below. So because the fourth progression added a shape underneath, the answer will show a shap added on top. There is only one choice.

MISD is the word that does not appear in the following sentences.

Every second picture is vertical arrows pointing up. First one, then two and now three.

There are only a few facts you need to determine who has the red door. You can quickly eliminate incorrect answers like this:

Portos: Has has a neighbour with a red door (so his must have the blue or green door)
Aramis: Portos and Aramis are not neighbours (and Portos is neighbours with the red door)

Therefore it can only be Athos with the red door. The other facts listed can confirm this but are not necessary. This is why it is always good to quickly read the actual question (in the case about the door) before reading the full text. That way you know what you are looking for.

When adding "est" to the word "great," you double the last letter before adding the suffix. In this case, the last letter of "great" is "t," so it is doubled to "tt" before adding "est." Therefore, the correct spelling is "greatest."

A synonym is a word that means the same thing.

All the others are types of behaviour

A synonym is a word that means the same thing.

The only option that makes sense here is that the reduction in prices would increase profits by increasing sales. The increase in sales would have to be enough to justify the discounts. So accordingly it would follow that, if true, Australians would buy more tickets have been conscious of the cheaper prices.

To find 50% of a number, we divide the number by 2. In this case, dividing 12 by 2 gives us 6. Therefore, 6 is 50% of 12.

You can solve this by rough estimation given you have multiple choice here. You can quickly see that each of the first 3 answers satisfy the condition that the father is currently 5 times the age of the son.

By subtracting 4 years from each age in each answer you will see them as follows:
a: 26 and 2
b: 21 and 1
c: 36 and 4

Now it is clear that the answer is c: 40 and 8 (because 4 x 9 = 36 and 5 x 8 = 40). These questions are why it is important to learn your multiplication tables prior to testing.

Look at the solid black circle. There is one more of these in each progression.

The red triangle is rotating around the spaces in an anti-clockwise direction. The blue triangle is going the other direction. If you didn't get this right, you may have been confused by the first change in which they cross paths!

There is one additional line to each shape for each progression. First 2, then 3, then 4, then 5. The answer is the shape with six lines.

The green dots are disappearing two at a time. All the other coloured shapes are disappearing one at a time. So there are none left by the fifth progression.

The correct spelling to complete the sentence is "shepherd." A shepherd is a person who takes care of and guides a flock of sheep or goats. In the given sentence, the word "took" indicates an action, and "his sheep and goats" refers to the animals being taken care of. Therefore, the correct option is "shepherd," which is the correct spelling for the person responsible for tending to sheep and goats.

Aircraft is a type of transport as newspaper is a type of media.

Four shapes are paired with two shapes. And the shapes are different.

The orientation of each set of lines changes 90 degrees each step and one set gains a line and the other loses a line.

That is, the original lines are horizontal. They rotate 90 degrees and lose a line. This continues.

The second set (which appear in the second box) start horizontal and then rotate 90 degrees and gain a line.

The sentence starts with the connector "SINCE" and the blank is after the comma. This means you need a subject, verb or both. Options "A" and "C" are eliminated because they also have connectors. Options "B" is eliminated because it has no subject. Leaving option "D" as the correct option.

There is a new colour each time and the new colour shape always appears in the top right of the square. In this case the green circle is in the top right.

When adding "est" to the word "fat," you double the last letter before adding the suffix. Therefore, the correct spelling is "fattest."

Horace speaks more than one language but not Arabic. This can be deduced from the given information that Hanif and Horace speak Chinese, and Horace and Hannah speak Albanian. Since Hanif speaks Chinese, he does not speak Arabic. Therefore, Horace is the only one left who speaks more than one language (Chinese and Albanian) but not Arabic.

This is the only picture where one of the symbols is touching the 'T' shape.

A polyglot speaks more than one language.

You are looking for arabic speakers initially (Hilary and Hannah)

Hannah speaks Albanian and Spanish and so it is only Hilary that speaks only Arabic and Spanish.

The correct answer is "sends" because it agrees with the subject "someone" and the verb "requests." The verb should be in the third person singular form to match the subject.

An additional 1/8 (or triangle) is added to the blue shading each progression as well as the shape rotating clockwise 90 degrees each progression.

The distances are not relevant to the question. So track the direction through each stage. You can do this in your head or use your hand like a compass face and follow each stage like this:

Start: West
Turn 90 degrees clockwise. Now you are facing North.
Turn 45 degrees anti-clockwise. Now you are facing North West.
Turn around 180 degrees. Now you are facing South East.
Turn 45 degrees clockwise. now you are facing South.

This is one of the few questions that translates well to actual police work because you must know your cardinal points, north south east west in order to navigate, give directions and follow directions. In an emergency this knowledge can save lives.

There are an additional 4 lines each progression. The actual shapes don't matter in this case. Just count the lines. the quickest way to do this is to understand how many lines are in each shape. The fourth picture, for example shows two octogons and a triangle. So it is 8 + 8 + 3 = 19. Now in the answers you are looking for an extra 4 lines. So 19 + 4 = 23.

Now 'C' stands out as it has 5 complete squares (5 x 4 = 20) and one open square (3 lines). So 20 + 3 = 23.

You might count the lines individually as you look for the pattern but once you suspect the pattern look to speed up your calculations by using your knowledge of shapes.

When adding "est" to the word "thin," you need to double the last letter before adding the suffix. Therefore, the correct spelling is "thinnest."

The first two letters are the same so you order them alphabetically using the third letter.

The key part of the evidence is that the "taxation regime" will expand "the base" of cigarette consumers by "reducing taxes". This expansion is another way of saying that there will be more consumers if taxes are lower. Lower taxes would mean lower prices. It therefore follows that more people will consume cigarettes because of the statement that lower taxes will expand the base.

"...put the book back in its place." would be correct. The apostrophe is used in "it's" when abbreviating "it is". Like in the last sentence which could read "It is Sunday tomorrow..."

Necessary

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.

Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

5x = 20

x = 4.

Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

There are two changes happening. The square type shape with the circle in it is losing a line from the inside square and a line from the outside square each progression. The other thing that is happening is another square with double lines is gaining a line on the inside and outside each progression.

So by the fifth progression (the answer) the squares around the circle have gone completely and the new double line squares are not complete.

There is no pattern regarding the location of the shapes. This is why the circle can be INSIDE the new square at the end.

This is the only possible answer from the given solutions. Read the outcome required first (who must have both morning appointments) and then read the full text. That way you will find the required information as you go.

The correct answer is the best SUPPORTING EVIDENCE as it shows new evidence about LOW biodiversity, regardless of poverty levels, is matched with HIGH education. This supports the other half of the already stated summary about HIGH biodiversity matching POOR education regardless of poverty levels.

This is the only possible answer from the given solutions. Read the outcome required first (who must have both afternoon appointments) and then read the full text. That way you will find the required information as you go.

Note that Mr Hilstart also must have afternoon appointments but the answer with his name is paired with Ms. Banger who must have mornings.

Work this backwards if it helps. So 25% of 20 = 5 (another way to do this is 20 / 4 = 5).

Then 20% of 5 = 1 (another way to do this is 5 / 5 = 1)

If the word 'each' was not at the start of the question then 'A' would have been correct.
