More questions
Correct Answer: Only argument II is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, officers are paid duly for the jobs they do. So, they must do it honestly. Thus, argument II alone holds.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative. So, neither I nor II follows.
Correct Answer: bookstore
Explanation:
The relationship above the line is as follows; apples are a kind of fruit; fruit is sold in a supermarket. Below the line, the relationship is: a novel is a kind of book; books are sold in a bookstore.
Correct Answer: thermometer
Explanation:
In the relationship above the line, the saw and the nails are tools a carpenter uses. In the relationship below the line, the stethoscope and thermometer are tools a pediatrician uses.
Correct Answer: hibernate
Explanation:
The words above the line show a continuum: Command is more extreme than rule, and dictate is more extreme than command. Below the line, the continuum is as follows: Sleep is more than doze, and hibernate is more than sleep. The other choices are not related in the same way.
Correct Answer: mouse
Explanation:
The three above the line are all insects. The hamster and squirrel are rodents, so the correct choice is b because the mouse is also a rodent. The other three choices are not rodents.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Clearly, the solution to the problem is not to close down the Municipal and Zila Parishad-run schools but to strive to improve the standard of education of these schools. So, only I follows while II does not.
Correct Answer: cotton
Explanation:
A table made of wood could come from an oak tree. A shirt made of cloth could come from a cotton plant. Choice a looks like a reasonable answer if you apply the same sentence: "A shirt made of cloth could come from sewing." But this is not the same relationship as the one above the line. The oak and the cotton are both materials used to make the table and the shirt.
Correct Answer: grasshopper
Explanation:
The honeybee, angel, and bat all have wings; they are capable of flying. The kangaroo, rabbit, and grasshopper are all capable of hopping.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, the organisers are adopting this policy not to reduce the sale but to cope up with great demand so that everyone can get the ticket. So, I is not implicit. Also, due to great demand, the maximum number of tickets one person can get has been reduced to five. So, II is also not implicit.
