Free OACP General Questions and Answers 1 — Questions and Answers

Question 1: Cars are to be driven on roads in the same

parachute is to sky
oxygen is to plane
boat it to water
train is to track (Correct answer)

Correct answer: train is to track

Cars travel on roads just as a train travels on a track — in each pair the second item is the dedicated surface or path the first item runs on. A parachute is not designed to travel on the sky, oxygen is not a path for a plane, and a boat's relationship to water is correct in idea but the cleaner train/track match makes it the stronger analogy.

Question 2: The TV is to be turned on exactly as

knob is to door
can is to opener
hammer is to saw
computer is to keyboard (Correct answer)

Correct answer: computer is to keyboard

A keyboard is the input device used to operate a computer, the same operational relationship as turning on and using a TV. A knob opens a door and a can needs an opener describe physical mechanisms rather than an input-control device, and a hammer and saw are simply two unrelated tools.

Question 3: To be exonerated is to:

Exoneration (Correct answer)
Precedent
Conviction
Precipitate

Correct answer: Exoneration

To be exonerated means to be officially cleared of blame, which is the act of exoneration. "Conviction" is the opposite (being found guilty), while "Precedent" (a prior ruling) and "Precipitate" (to cause suddenly) are unrelated terms.

Question 4: To be apprehended is to:

Admonished
Arrested (Correct answer)
Coalesced
Appealed

Correct answer: Arrested

To be apprehended means to be caught or seized, which in a policing context is to be arrested. "Admonished" means warned, "Coalesced" means joined together, and "Appealed" means to challenge a decision — none describe being taken into custody.

Question 5: Which two terms signify something different? a) Shy b) Careful c) Honest d) Outgoing

b & c
a & d (Correct answer)
a & c
a & b

Correct answer: a & d

Shy (a) and outgoing (d) are direct opposites, so they signify something different from each other. Careful and honest are simply distinct positive traits that are not opposites, so the other pairings do not capture contrasting meanings.

Question 6: Choose the best word to complete the blank. Shoulder surgery is a painful operation to _. The rehabilitation is worse than the surgery _.

bare, it's self
endure, itself (Correct answer)
overcome, it's self
bear, it self

Correct answer: endure, itself

You "endure" a painful operation, and "itself" correctly emphasizes the surgery as the point of comparison. "Bare" and "bear" are misused or wrong here, and "it's self"/"it self" are incorrect spellings of the single word "itself."

Question 7: Man took a six-hour drive. He succeeded in finishing 2/6 of his travel during that time. How far is he going to have to travel?

18 hours (Correct answer)
12 hours
30 hours
24 hours

Correct answer: 18 hours

If 6 hours equals 2/6 (which reduces to 1/3) of the trip, then the full journey is three of those segments: 6 × 3 = 18 hours. The other options don't result from multiplying the 6-hour third by three.

Question 8: In the pattern below, what is the missing number? -4, ?, -1, 2, 6, 11...

-2
0
1
None of the above (Correct answer)

Correct answer: None of the above

The differences increase by one each step (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), so going back from -1 the gap is 2, making the missing term -3. Since -3 is not offered among -2, 0, or 1, the correct choice is "None of the above."

Question 9: In the city of Brampton, 1 out of every 5 cars has noticeable body damage. How many of the 130 cars in the parking lot would be undamaged?

50
26
104 (Correct answer)
100

Correct answer: 104

If 1 of every 5 cars is damaged, then 4 of every 5 — or 4/5 — are undamaged. Applying 4/5 to 130 cars gives 104 undamaged (26 are damaged), so 26 and the other figures are incorrect.

Question 10: 5 3/4 =

5.75%
534%
5750%
None of the above (Correct answer)

Correct answer: None of the above

The mixed number 5 3/4 equals 5.75, which is 575% — not any of the listed values. "5.75%" is off by a factor of 100, and "534%" and "5750%" are simply wrong conversions, so "None of the above" is correct.

Question 11: You get a noise complaint at 1:30 in the morning from a townhouse unit. When you arrive, you knock on the door and introduce yourself to the homeowners' eighteen-year-old daughter. There appears to be a party going on inside the house, as seen by the several youngsters dancing and sipping from red plastic cups. How do you proceed?

Issue a warning that their music is too loud and explain that it is disturbing the neighborhood (Correct answer)
Enter the home and search the home for drugs and alcohol
Enter the home and confiscate alcohol from underage individuals
Enter the home and arrest underage individuals who are consuming alcohol

Correct answer: Issue a warning that their music is too loud and explain that it is disturbing the neighborhood

For a noise complaint, the proper first step is to address the noise itself by warning the occupants that the music is disturbing neighbors. Entering, searching, confiscating, or arresting requires legal grounds such as a warrant or consent, which the officer does not have based on a noise call alone.
