More questions
Correct Answer: true
Explanation:
From the first two statements, you know that the Kingston Mall has the most stores, so the Kingston Mall would have more stores than the Four Corners Mall.
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation:
Since prices of personal computers show the highest decline among all the articles, it implies that the comparative prices of all the articles was known. So, I is implicit. Also, it being given that prices of computers showed decline during the last six months, it means that they were higher in the first six months. So, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: slice
Explanation:
The core, seeds, and pulp are all parts of an apple. A slice would be a piece taken out of an apple.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, only I follows.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement clearly warns the visitors to beware of dogs as they are trained to welcome the guests and intruders differently. So, II is implicit. I is vague and hence, it is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack.
Explanation:
Seeing four girls surrounding another girl, while in possession of her backpack, is the most suspicious of the incidents described.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
The situation demands first diverting other trains to different routes so as to avert any accident, and then clearing the tracks as soon as possible. Thus, both the courses follow.
Correct Answer: Only I follows
Explanation:
Airlines, being convenient and faster means of transport, people would surely prefer it to the railways if there is a marginal difference between the fares. Hence, a considerable gap between the two fares is a must for the railways. So, course I follows. Following course II would reduce the volume of passengers. Hence, II does not follow.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
The statement talks of jade plants only and not 'all plants with thick leaves'. So, I does not follow. Also, since jade plants require little water, so they can be grown in places where water is not in abundance. So, II follows.
Correct Answer: ounce
Explanation:
An ounce measures weight; the other choices measure length.
