Both soap and medicine serve the purpose of eliminating unwanted elements - soap eliminates dirt and germs from surfaces, while medicine eliminates diseases and ailments from the body. Therefore, soap is the appropriate analogy for cleaning in this context.

Explanation

The train travels 100 feet every 3 seconds, so in 1 second it travels 100/3 = 33.33 feet. Therefore, in 40 seconds, it will travel approximately 33.33 x 40 = 1333.33 feet. Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer is 1300 ft.

Submit

5. If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? "Black haired people are kind. I am kind. I have black hair."

Explanation

The given statements do not provide enough information to determine the truth or falsehood of the final statement. The first statement states that black-haired people are kind, the second statement claims that the speaker is kind, and the third statement asserts that the speaker has black hair. However, there is no logical connection or rationale argument provided to support the conclusion that the speaker having black hair makes them kind. Therefore, the final statement cannot be determined as true or false based on the given information.

The series is increasing by 4 each time. Starting with 24, adding 4 gives 28, adding 4 again gives 32, and so on. Therefore, the next number in the series would be 44 + 4 = 48.

7. 17 out of 20 lung diseases are curable; what is the percentage of lung diseases that are curable?

Explanation

The percentage of lung diseases that are curable can be calculated by dividing the number of curable lung diseases (17) by the total number of lung diseases (20) and then multiplying by 100. Therefore, the percentage of lung diseases that are curable is 85%.

Submit
8.  Please fill in the blank in the middle of the series of letters with the set that makes the most sense. QPO NML KJI _____ EDC

Explanation

The letters in the series are in reverse alphabetical order. Starting from Q, each subsequent letter is the one before it in the alphabet. Therefore, the missing set in the middle of the series should also follow this pattern. Among the given options, HGF is the only set that fits this pattern, as H comes before G, G comes before F, and so on.

Submit
9. Tanya is older than Eric. Cliff is older than Tanya. Eric is older than Cliff. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is:

Explanation

Based on the given information, Tanya is older than Eric and Cliff is older than Tanya. However, the third statement contradicts the previous information by stating that Eric is older than Cliff. Since this contradicts the previous statements, the third statement is false.

Submit
10. Choose the pair of words that will correctly complete the sentence. Jack commented that ______ unit was the best he had worked with and said ______ doing a terrific job.

Explanation

In this sentence, the first blank should be filled with "your" because it is referring to the unit that Jack worked with, which implies possession. The second blank should be filled with "you're" because it is referring to the person who is doing a terrific job, which implies "you are."

Submit
11. Choose the most grammatically correct and precise sentence.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The suspect said he had done nothing wrong." This sentence is grammatically correct and precise because it uses the past tense ("had done") to indicate that the suspect made the statement in the past. Additionally, it uses the negative form ("nothing wrong") to convey that the suspect claimed innocence.

Submit
12. You have just finished typing a confidential letter from the director to the human resources office. The letter confirms that Musonda, your close friend and co-worker, has just been promoted to a new job. Musonda does not yet know of the decision. Which one of the following should you do?

Explanation

The correct answer is to say nothing and wait for the official announcement. This is the most appropriate course of action in a professional setting, as it respects the confidentiality of the letter and allows for the official announcement to be made in a proper manner. Informing Musonda confidentially or informing a few close friends would breach confidentiality and could lead to rumors or misunderstandings. Informing Musonda's supervisor and planning a luncheon would also be premature without the official announcement.

Explanation

In this situation, it is important to address the customer's concern about bureaucratic red tape. By explaining the reasons why the office needs the information, it helps the customer understand the importance and necessity of completing the additional forms.

Submit

19. Assume that you are taking a telephone message for a co-worker who is not in the office at the time. Of the following, the LEAST important item to write on the message is the

Explanation

When taking a telephone message for a co-worker, it is important to include the name of the caller so that your co-worker knows who the message is from. The time of the call is also important as it helps your co-worker understand when the call was made and prioritize their response. Additionally, including the telephone number of the caller is crucial for your co-worker to be able to contact them back. However, the length of the call is the least important item to write on the message as it does not provide any essential information for your co-worker to take action on the message.

Submit
20. You need to put these five case files in numerical order, starting with the smallest number: 88798, 98978, 89997, 88897, and 89789. When you have put them in order, where would 88798 appear?

Explanation

The given case files are 88798, 98978, 89997, 88897, and 89789. When arranging these numbers in numerical order, the smallest number is 88798. Therefore, 88798 would appear first in the ordered list.

Submit
22. Choose the most effectively written statement from the four alternatives listed below.

Explanation

The correct answer is "After a short interview with the supervisor, the applicant was allowed to leave."

The other options either have awkward sentence structures or do not accurately convey the sequence of events.

Submit

Explanation

The word "scrupulous" means being very careful, thorough, and attentive to details. It implies being diligent and conscientious in one's actions.

Submit
24. Choose the sentence that is written most correctly:

Submit
25. 5 cookies cost $0.30, how much will 30 cookies cost?

Explanation

If 5 cookies cost $0.30, then each cookie costs $0.30 divided by 5, which is $0.06. Therefore, if we want to find the cost of 30 cookies, we can multiply the cost of one cookie ($0.06) by 30, which gives us $1.80.

Submit
26. Which word does NOT belong with the others?

Explanation

The word "Beautiful" does not belong with the others because it is the only word that does not imply a sense of rarity or uniqueness.

Submit
27. Cup is to coffee as bowl is to:

Explanation

The quoted text states that Finefoods requires an agent for nationwide distribution. This implies that the agent will be responsible for delivering goods all over the country.

29. Sam and Edna have 56 marbles together. Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam. How many marbles does Sam have?

Explanation

Edna has 6 times more marbles than Sam, so if we let the number of marbles Sam has be represented by x, then the number of marbles Edna has is 6x. Together, they have 56 marbles, so we can set up the equation x + 6x = 56. Combining like terms, we get 7x = 56. Dividing both sides by 7, we find that x = 8. Therefore, Sam has 8 marbles.

Submit
30. Of the four names listed below, which name would be filed first in alphabetical order?
