  1. Which word is the odd one out: INFER, DEDUCE, CONCLUDE, ASSERT?

    Answer: Assert

    Infer, deduce and conclude all involve reaching a judgement based on evidence. Assert means to state something confidently without necessarily having evidence.

  2. Department A processes 450 applications per week. Department B processes 30% more. How many does B process?

    Answer: 585

    30% of 450 = 135. Department B = 450 + 135 = 585.

  3. Complete the analogy: POLICY is to GOVERNMENT as CURRICULUM is to ___

  4. A graph shows staffing levels: 2020=1,200, 2021=1,080, 2022=972. What is the pattern?

    1,200 × 0.9 = 1,080 and 1,080 × 0.9 = 972. This is a 10% reduction each year.
