The pattern in the given row of numbers is that each number is half of the previous number. Starting from 8, we divide by 2 to get 4, then divide by 2 again to get 2, and so on. Therefore, the next number should be half of the previous number, which is 1/8 or 0.125.

The correct answer is December because it is commonly known and accepted that December is the last month of the year. It is the twelfth and final month in the Gregorian calendar, which is widely used around the world.

The word "capture" implies taking control or holding something or someone. The opposite of this would be to "release" which means to set free or let go. Therefore, "release" is the correct answer as it is the opposite of "capture".

The given series is a geometric progression where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 0.5. So, to find the next term, we multiply the last term (0.125) by 0.5, resulting in 0.0625.

RSVP stands for "répondez s'il vous plaît," which is French for "please respond." It is a request for the recipient to respond to an invitation, indicating whether they will attend or not. Therefore, the correct answer is "No," as RSVP does not mean "reply not necessary."

The items listed are all related to time or months, except for Wednesday, which is a day of the week. Therefore, Wednesday is the least like the others because it does not fit into the category of months or time.

The word "REAP" means to harvest or gather, usually in relation to crops. The opposite of reaping would be the act of sowing, which means to plant seeds. Therefore, the correct answer is "Sow."

The word "smell" is related to "nose" in the same way that "chew" is related to "teeth." Both "smell" and "nose" are associated with the sense of smell, just as "chew" and "teeth" are associated with the act of chewing.

The given series consists of fractions with decreasing denominators. The pattern is that each number is the reciprocal of a multiple of 2. However, the number 1/10 does not fit this pattern as it is not the reciprocal of a multiple of 2. Additionally, 0.1 is the decimal equivalent of 1/10, which also does not fit the pattern. Therefore, both 1/10 and 0.1 are the right numbers that do not fit with the pattern set by the others.

The word "usual" refers to something that is common or typical. The opposite of something that is usual would be something that is rare, meaning it is not common or frequently occurring.

The words "client" and "customer" have similar meanings as they both refer to individuals or entities who purchase goods or services from a business. While there may be slight nuances in their usage depending on the context, they are generally used interchangeably to describe someone who engages in a transaction with a company. Therefore, the correct answer is that these words have similar meanings.

The question asks for the cost of 4 boxes of paper clips, and each box sells for 23 cents. To find the total cost, we multiply the cost of one box by the number of boxes: 23 cents x 4 boxes = 92 cents. Therefore, the correct answer is 92 cents, 92cents, 92c, 92 c, 92 Cents, 92Cents, 92C, 92 C.

The final statement is true because statement 1 states that these boys are normal children, and statement 2 states that all normal children are active. Therefore, since the boys are normal children, they must also be active, which is confirmed by statement 3.

The statement "P.M. means Post Meridiem" is true. Post Meridiem, abbreviated as P.M., refers to the period of time between noon and midnight. It is used to indicate the time in the afternoon and evening hours, typically from 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 11:59 p.m. Understanding this abbreviation helps in correctly interpreting time references and distinguishing between morning (A.M.) and afternoon/evening (P.M.) timings.

In this set of words, all the words except "Participate" represent a group or collection of something. Troop refers to a group of soldiers, League refers to a group of teams or organizations, Pack refers to a group of items bundled together, and Group refers to a collection of people or things. However, "Participate" does not represent a group or collection but rather an action or verb. Therefore, "Participate" is the word that is different from the others.

The words "ingenious" and "ingenuous" may sound similar, but they do not have the same meaning or opposite meanings. "Ingenious" refers to someone who is clever, creative, and inventive, while "ingenuous" describes someone who is innocent, naive, and straightforward. Therefore, these words mean neither the same nor opposite things.

The final statement is true because statement 1 states that all students take tests, and statement 2 confirms that there are students in the room. Therefore, it can be inferred that some of the people in the room are students who take tests, which aligns with statement 3.

The dealer bought some barrels for $4,000 and sold them for $5,000, making $50 profit on each barrel. To find the number of barrels involved, we can divide the total profit ($1,000) by the profit per barrel ($50), which gives us 20. Therefore, there were 20 barrels involved in this transaction.

The baseball team lost 9 games, which is 3/8 of all the games they played. To find the total number of games they played, we can set up a proportion. Let x be the total number of games. We can set up the equation (3/8) = 9/x and cross multiply to get 3x = 72. Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 24. Therefore, the baseball team played 24 games this season.

Based on the given information, we know that John is the same age as Sally (Statement 1) and that Sally is younger than Bill (Statement 2). Since John is the same age as Sally and Sally is younger than Bill, it implies that John is also younger than Bill. Therefore, the final statement, "John is younger than Bill," is true.

The plane travels 300 feet in 1/2 second. To find how many feet it will travel in 10 seconds, we can set up a proportion. If the plane travels 300 feet in 1/2 second, then it will travel x feet in 10 seconds. We can cross multiply and solve for x. 300 * 10 = 1/2 * x. Simplifying, we get 3000 = 1/2 * x. Multiplying both sides by 2, we get x = 6000. Therefore, the plane will travel 6000 feet in 10 seconds.

If X caught 5 times as many fish as Y, and together they caught 36 fish, then we can set up an equation to solve for Y. Let's say Y caught y fish. This means that X caught 5y fish. The total number of fish caught is y + 5y = 6y. We know that 6y = 36, so y = 6. Therefore, Y caught 6 fish.

The volume of a rectangular bin can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and depth. In this case, we are given that the bin is completely filled and holds 800 cubic feet of grain. We also know that the width is 8 feet and the length is 10 feet. To find the depth, we can rearrange the formula and solve for it. Dividing the volume (800 cubic feet) by the product of the width (8 feet) and the length (10 feet) gives us a depth of 10 feet.

The words "miner" and "minor" do not have the same meaning or opposite meanings. "Miner" refers to a person who works in a mine, while "minor" refers to something or someone who is under legal age or of lesser importance. Therefore, the words do not have similar or contradictory meanings, but rather have different meanings altogether.

The given statement "Eggs Lay All Chickens" does not make a complete sentence. It lacks a verb and does not convey a clear meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Since lemon candles sell at 3 for 10 cents, we can calculate the cost of one candle by dividing 10 cents by 3, which equals 3.33 cents per candle. Therefore, 1 ½ dozen (18 candles) will cost 18 multiplied by 3.33 cents, which equals 59.94 cents. Rounded to the nearest cent, the cost will be 60 cents.

The given words can be arranged to form the sentence "A sentence always has a verb." In this sentence, "verb" is the last word.

REMOTE is the opposite of Near.

There are two pairs listed below that are exact duplicates:
- 84721 and 84721
- 88884444 and 88884444

If a skirt requires 2 ¼ yards of material and there are 45 yards available, we can divide the total yards by the yards needed for each skirt to find the number of skirts that can be made. 45 divided by 2 ¼ is equal to 20, so 20 skirts can be cut from the given amount of material.

The group of numbers represents the smallest amount because .33 is the smallest number among the given options.

The watch lost 1 minute 18 seconds in 39 days. To find out how many seconds it lost per day, we divide the total loss (78 seconds) by the number of days (39). Therefore, the watch lost 2 seconds per day.

The words "CANVASS" and "CANVAS" do not have the same meaning, nor do they have opposite meanings. "CANVASS" refers to conducting a survey or gathering opinions, while "CANVAS" refers to a type of heavy fabric used for painting or as a surface for artwork. Therefore, the correct answer is that these words mean neither the same nor opposite.

Autumn is the opposite of Spring because they are two different seasons that occur at opposite times of the year. Autumn, also known as Fall, is the season that comes after Summer and before Winter. It is characterized by cooler temperatures, falling leaves, and the transition from summer to winter. Spring, on the other hand, is the season that comes after Winter and before Summer. It is characterized by warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and the transition from winter to summer. Therefore, Autumn and Spring are opposite seasons in terms of their timing and the changes they bring.

The proverbs "Like father like son" and "They are seeds out of the same bowl" have similar meanings. Both proverbs imply that individuals inherit traits or qualities from their parents or the people they associate with.

The first proverb "You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" means that you cannot turn something of low quality into something of high quality. The fourth proverb "You cannot damage a wrecked ship" means that something that is already damaged or ruined cannot be further harmed. Both of these proverbs convey the idea that certain things are impossible or cannot be changed.

When the boy is 8 years old, his sister will be twice as old as him, which means she will be 16 years old. However, since the question asks for her age, not the age difference between them, we subtract the age difference from the boy's age. So, when the boy is 8 years old, his sister will be 16 - 3 = 13 years old.

The two statements are contradictory because "A new broom sweeps clean" implies that something new or fresh is better or more effective, while "Old shoes are easiest" suggests that old or familiar things are easier to use or handle. These two statements present opposing ideas about the value or effectiveness of new versus old items.

You would connect the numbers 6 and 9 to make the line. By connecting these two numbers, you can divide the figure into two separate parts: one part consisting of the numbers 3, 6, and 9, and the other part consisting of the numbers 4, 10, and 12. These two parts can then be rearranged to form a square shape.

The words "IT'S" and "ITS" have different meanings and are used in different contexts. "IT'S" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," while "ITS" is a possessive form of the pronoun "it." Therefore, they do not have the same meaning nor are they opposite in meaning.

The clock was 25 seconds slow from Monday noon to Wednesday 2 P.M., which is a total of 2 days and 2 hours. To find out how much it lost in ½ hour, we can set up a proportion. Since 2 days and 2 hours is equivalent to 50 hours, we can say that the clock lost 25 seconds in 50 hours. Therefore, in 1 hour, it would lose 0.5 seconds (25 seconds divided by 50 hours). And in ½ hour, it would lose half of that, which is 0.25 seconds. So the correct answer is ¼ sec.

The words "creditable" and "credulous" do not have the same meaning, nor do they have opposite meanings. "Creditable" means deserving of praise or recognition, while "credulous" means gullible or easily fooled. Therefore, the two words mean neither the same nor opposite.

The grocer buys a case of fruit for $1.80, which contains 12 dozen. She knows that two dozen will spoil, so she is left with 10 dozen. To gain 1/3 of the whole cost, she needs to sell the good ones at a price that covers 1/3 of the total cost. Therefore, she needs to sell each dozen at a price that covers 1/3 of $1.80. 1/3 of $1.80 is $0.60. Since she has 10 dozen, she needs to sell each dozen for $0.60 divided by 10, which is $0.06. $0.06 is equivalent to 24 cents. Therefore, she must sell the good ones for 24 cents per dozen.

There is only one pair listed below that is an exact duplicate, which is "Wood, A.O." and "Wood, A. O.". The other pairs have slight differences in spelling or punctuation, making them not exact duplicates.

The given statements are contradictory because Statement 1 implies that honest people never apologize for their honesty, while Statement 2 suggests that honesty is praised. If honesty is truly praised, then it is likely that some honest people may apologize for their honesty in certain situations where it may have caused harm or offense. Therefore, the two statements contradict each other.

X invested $3,500 and Z invested $2,000. The total investment is $5,500. If the profits are divided equally, each partner would receive $1,500/3 = $500. However, if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested, X would receive ($3,500/$5,500) * $1,500 = $957.27. The difference between the two amounts is $500 - $957.27 = -$457.27, which is approximately $175 less than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested.

The boy saved $1.00 in 30 days, so to find his average daily savings, we divide the total amount saved by the number of days. $1.00 divided by 30 days is equal to 3 ½ cents.

All the other words in the set refer to a group or collection of individuals. Colony refers to a group of animals or plants living together, Covey refers to a small group of birds, Crew refers to a group of people working together, and Constellation refers to a group of stars. However, Companion refers to an individual who accompanies or spends time with another person, making it the odd one out in this set.

Based on the given information, it is not certain whether the final statement is true or false. While it is stated that great people are ridiculed and the person making the statement is ridiculed, it does not necessarily mean that the person making the statement is a great person. Therefore, the truth value of the final statement cannot be determined.

To find the number of pages that must be in a smaller type, we need to determine the number of words that can be printed using the larger type and the number of words that can be printed using the smaller type.

Using the larger type, each page can contain 1,200 words. Therefore, the total number of words that can be printed using the larger type is 1,200 x 22 = 26,400 words.

Since the article has 30,000 words in total, the remaining words that need to be printed using the smaller type is 30,000 - 26,400 = 3,600 words.

Using the smaller type, each page can contain 1,500 words. Therefore, the number of pages that must be in a smaller type is 3,600 / 1,500 = 12 pages.

Hence, the correct answer is 12.
