- Question
When they heard news of the hurricane, Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans. Instead of traveling to the island beach resort, they booked a room at a fancy new spa in the mountains. Their plans were a bit more expensive, but they'd heard wonderful things about the spa and they were relieved to find availability on such short notice.
Options- A. Maya and Julian take beach vacations every year.
- B. The spa is overpriced.
- C. It is usually necessary to book at least six months in advance at the spa.
- D. Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans because of the hurricane.
- Correct Answer
- Maya and Julian decided to change their vacation plans because of the hurricane.
ExplanationThe first sentence makes this statement true. There is no support for choice a. The passage tells us that the spa vacation is more expensive than the island beach resort vacation, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the spa is overpriced; therefore, choice b cannot be supported. And even though the paragraph says that the couple was relieved to find a room on short notice, there is no information to support choice c, which says that it is usually necessary to book at the spa at least six months in advance. - 1.

More questions
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
The statement mentions that the candidates who have obtained second class Master's degree or have appeared for the final year examination of Master's degree, can apply for admission. This implies that both types of candidates may be selected on certain grounds. Thus, some candidates of each type and not all candidates of any one type, may be selected. So, neither I nor II follows.
Correct Answer: mayonnaise
Explanation:
Parsley, basil, and dill are types of herbs. Mayonnaise is not an herb.
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
Explanation:
Clearly, A advises B to join Y because it provides good Accounts education. So, I is implicit. It is not mentioned whether B listens to A's advice or not. So, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Only either II or III follows
Explanation:
Clearly, the private sector banks have done so to attract more and more customers of public sector banks. Thus, public sector banks should either reduce the rate of interest to match with that of private sector banks or highlight those features which make them stand apart from private sector banks. 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.
