Question 1: All managers are employees. Some employees are part-time. Which conclusion MUST be true?
- All managers are part-time
- Some managers are part-time
- No managers are part-time
- Some employees are managers (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Some employees are managers
Since all managers are employees, at least some employees must be managers — this is the only guaranteed conclusion.
Question 2: In a sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54, ___ . What is the next number?
- 108

Each term is multiplied by 3, so 54 × 3 = 162.
Question 3: If A → B and B → C, which of the following is a valid conclusion?
- C → A
- A → C (Correct answer)
- B → A
- C → B

By the transitive property of implication, if A → B and B → C, then A → C.
Question 4: Which word is the odd one out: Hammer, Screwdriver, Wrench, Nail, Pliers?

Hammer, Screwdriver, Wrench, and Pliers are all tools, while a Nail is a fastener.
Question 5: A statement says: 'If it rains, the ground is wet.' The ground is NOT wet. What can you conclude?
- It is raining

Dana is 1st; since Alex can't be at an end, Carl must be 2nd, Alex 3rd, Beth 4th (Beth right of Carl).
