Question 1: Determine the relationship between the two terms listed below, then choose the one that most closely matches the relationship. REPLETE is to FAMISHED as:

• PLAUSIBLE is to PLACATE
• BLATANT is to MASKED (Correct answer)
• SHROUD is to HASTEN
• DEPRESSED is to SUCCESSFUL
• COMMENCE is to GRADUATE

Correct answer: BLATANT is to MASKED

The relationship between REPLETE and FAMISHED is that they are antonyms; REPLETE means full, and FAMISHED means extremely hungry. We need to find the pair of words that are also antonyms. BLATANT means obvious or unconcealed, while MASKED means concealed or hidden. These two words are direct opposites, mirroring the relationship between REPLETE and FAMISHED.

Question 2: Use the pattern you can't see in the numbers below to figure out what number comes after or is missing. 8 | 3 | 9 | 10 | 17 | ?

• 15
• 19
• 11
• 9
• 25

The pattern in the sequence is that each number, starting from the third, is found by adding the two preceding numbers and then subtracting 2. Let's verify: 9 = (8 + 3) - 2; 10 = (3 + 9) - 2; 17 = (9 + 10) - 2. Following this rule, the next number is calculated as (10 + 17) - 2 = 27 - 2 = 25. Thus, the missing number is 25.

Question 3: Is the last statement true if the first two are true?<br> Most snakes are green.<br> Most snakes are quick.<br> At least one snake is both green and quick.

• Yes (Correct answer)
• No
• Uncertain

Correct answer: Yes

If 'most snakes are green' (meaning >50%) and 'most snakes are quick' (meaning >50%), there must be an overlap. Consider the maximum percentage of snakes that are *not* green (less than 50%) and *not* quick (less than 50%). The sum of these 'not' categories is less than 100%. Therefore, there must be at least some percentage of snakes that are both green and quick, guaranteeing at least one such snake exists.

Question 4: How many pupils do not own any pets if there are 32 students in the classroom and 12.5% of them have at least one pet?

• 24
• 30
• 4
• 8
• 28 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 28

First, calculate the number of students who own at least one pet. 12.5% is equivalent to 1/8. So, (1/8) * 32 students = 4 students have pets. To find the number of students who do not own any pets, subtract the number of pet owners from the total number of students: 32 - 4 = 28 students. Therefore, 28 pupils do not own any pets.

Question 5: Shelley owns seven necklaces, eight pairs of shoes, and seven gowns. if she just dresses in one set of clothes every day. For what number of days can she avoid dressing in the same clothes?

• 56
• 114
• 228
• 392 (Correct answer)
• 22

Correct answer: 392

To find the total number of unique outfits Shelley can create, multiply the number of choices for each independent item. She has 7 choices for necklaces, 8 choices for shoes, and 7 choices for gowns. The total number of different outfits is 7 * 8 * 7. This calculation results in 56 * 7 = 392. Therefore, she can avoid dressing in the same clothes for 392 days.

Question 6: IMPERIOUS is the opposite of:

• Stormy
• Quiet
• Gloomy
• Subservient (Correct answer)
• Moody

Correct answer: Subservient

The word 'imperious' describes someone who is arrogant, domineering, and assumes authority without justification. Its direct opposite is 'subservient,' which means being prepared to obey others unquestionably or being excessively compliant. Therefore, a person who is imperious acts in a commanding way, while a subservient person acts in an obedient and yielding way.

Question 7: Suppose the following two assertions are accurate:<br> All athletes are hard workers.<br> Alice is not an athlete.<br> Alice is not a hard worker.<br> Is the final statement:

• TRUE
• FALSE
• Uncertain based on the information provided (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Uncertain based on the information provided

The first statement establishes that all athletes are hard workers, but it does not state that *only* athletes are hard workers. This means there can be hard workers who are not athletes. Since Alice is not an athlete, we cannot conclude anything about her work ethic; she could still be a hard worker, or she might not be. Therefore, the final statement is uncertain based on the information provided.

Question 8: Which set of letters would come after this one in the series?<br> zone --> ynnd --> xmnc --> wlnb --> ?

• vnna
• vkna (Correct answer)
• ajna
• akna

Correct answer: vkna

• The facts neither prove nor disprove the conclusion

Correct answer: The facts disprove the conclusion

The problem describes a net charging rate. First, calculate the draining rate per minute: 3% drained / 2.5 minutes = 1.2% drained per minute. Then, subtract this draining rate from the charging rate: 4.5% (charging) - 1.2% (draining) = 3.3%. Thus, the phone's battery charges at a net rate of 3.3% per minute.

Question 10: Which word isn't appropriate for this list?

• Grave
• Mirthless
• Archaic (Correct answer)
• Serious
• Solemn
