More questions
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement indicates that the number of people travelling by air has increased in the recent years. This clearly implies that large number of people can now afford air travel. So, only II is implicit.
Correct Answer: poenforc
Explanation:
Migen means cup;
lasan means board;
poen means walk;
cuop means pull; and
dansa means man. The only possible choices, then, are choices a and d. Choice a can be ruled out because
migen means cup.
Correct Answer: celebration
Explanation:
A gala indicates a celebration, the necessary element here. A tuxedo (choice b) is not required garb at a gala, nor is an appetizer (choice c). A gala may be held without the benefit of anyone speaking (choice d).
Correct Answer: wasibako
Explanation:
In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From
godabim and
romzbim, you can determine that bim means kidney. From
romzbim and
romzbako, you can determine that
romz means beans. Therefore,
bako means wax. Because the adjective wax must come after the noun in this language,
wasibako is the only choice.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit

So, either II or III follows.
Correct Answer: research : learn
Explanation:
One explores to discover; one researches to learn.
Correct Answer: legal authorization
Explanation:
The second and third sentence combine to give support to choice a. The statement stresses that there must be a judge's approval (i.e., legal authorization) before a search can be conducted. Choices b and d are wrong because it is not enough for the police to have direct evidence or a reasonable belief?a judge must authorize the search for it to be legal. Choices c and e are not mentioned in the passage.
Correct Answer: Only argument II is strong
Explanation:
