Question 1: Find the two words, one from each group, that are most opposite in meaning. (BRAVE, TIMID, LOUD) (QUIET, SHY, BOLD)
- BRAVE and SHY
- LOUD and QUIET
- TIMID and BOLD (Correct answer)
- LOUD and BOLD
Correct answer: TIMID and BOLD
The word 'timid' means showing a lack of courage or confidence, easily frightened. The word 'bold' means confident and courageous. Therefore, 'timid' and 'bold' are the most opposite in meaning (antonyms).
Question 2: The letters in the brackets form a word using letters from the words on either side. Find the missing three-letter word. CHAIR ( ? ) TABLE
- ART (Correct answer)
- LAB
- RAT
- CAR
Correct answer: ART
The word ART can be formed using the 'A' and 'R' from CHAIR and the 'T' from TABLE. The letters are taken in order from the surrounding words to form the new word.
Question 3: In the following sentence, a four-letter word is hidden between two words. Find the hidden word. The big cat leaped over the wall.
- GOAT (Correct answer)
- OVER
- LEAP
- GCAT
Correct answer: GOAT
The word 'GOAT' is hidden at the end of 'biG' and the beginning of 'cAT'. The sentence should be read as 'The biG cAT leaped...'.
Question 4: Which of the following is the odd one out?
- Pound
- Euro
- Dollar
- Pence (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Pence
Pound, Euro, and Dollar are all primary units of currency. Pence (or a penny) is a subdivision of the Pound Sterling, not a primary currency unit itself.
Question 5: Find the next pair of letters in the series: AZ, BY, CX, DW, ?
- EU
- FU
- EV (Correct answer)
- FV
Correct answer: EV
There are two patterns occurring simultaneously. The first letter in each pair moves forward one step through the alphabet (A, B, C, D, E...). The second letter in each pair moves backward one step through the alphabet (Z, Y, X, W, V...). Therefore, the next pair of letters is EV.
Question 6: Rearrange the jumbled word in capitals to complete the sentence. We need to book our summer YOHDALI soon.
- DAILYHO
- HOLIDAY (Correct answer)
- LOADHYI
- DAYHOLI
Correct answer: HOLIDAY
The jumbled letters YOHDALI can be rearranged to spell 'HOLIDAY'. The sentence would then read: 'We need to book our summer holiday soon.'
