Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
A trapeze performer is to a clown as swings are to a sliding board. This relationship shows a classification. Trapeze performers and clowns are found at circuses; swings and sliding boards are found on playgrounds.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows. However, II is the converse of the second premise and thus it holds.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Anthony's place of living is not mentioned in the statement. So, I is not implicit. Assumption II follows from the statement and so it is implicit.
Correct Answer: (1/8)
Explanation:
This is a simple division series; each number is one-half of the previous number.
In other terms to say, the number is divided by 2 successively to get the next result.
4/2 = 2 2/2 = 1 1/2 = 1/2 (1/2)/2 = 1/4 (1/4)/2 = 1/8 and so on.
Correct Answer: pages
Explanation:
The necessary part of a book is its pages; there is no book without pages. Not all books are fiction (choice a), and not all books have pictures (choice c). Learning (choice d) may or may not take place with a book
Correct Answer: None follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: None follows
Explanation:
Since each combination of premises shall contain two particular premises, no definite conclusion can be drawn.
Correct Answer: dirt
Explanation:
A branch, leaf, and root are all parts of a tree. The dirt underneath is not a part of the tree.
Correct Answer: hurt
Explanation:
Pain is suffering or hurt, so choice d is the essential element. Without hurt, there is no pain. A cut (choice a) or a burn (choice b) may cause pain, but so do many other types of injury. A nuisance (choice c) is an annoyance that may or may not cause pain.
Correct Answer: winning
Explanation:
Without a first-place win, there is no champion, so winning is essential. There may be champions in running, swimming, or speaking, but there are also champions in many other areas.
