More questions
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement talks of most people' and not 'all'. So, I is not necessarily true. Thus, I is not implicit. The condition, if one does not stop smoking, cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is also not implicit.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
The statement mentions that concessions should not be given to people who can afford to spend holidays in hill stations. This means they should be given only to needy persons. So, I is implicit. But, II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Only I and III are implicit
Explanation:
The statement mentions that India had to pay the price of increased pollution level to earn its economic growth. So, both I and III are implicit. However, this does not imply that only industrial growth has brought about India's economic growth. So, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: decrease
Explanation:
Guide and direct are synonyms, and reduce and decrease are synonyms. The answer is not choice b or d because neither means the same as reduce. (Choice c) is incorrect because increase is the opposite of reduce.

After all the switches were made,Max is directly behind the dog, James is alongside the dog on the left, Ruby is alongside the dog on the right, and Rachel is behind Max.

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
Explanation:

Correct Answer: Only II follows
Explanation:
Clearly, to remedy the problem of food processing industry, a regular supply of raw material should be ensured. So, course II follows.
Correct Answer: granahoon
Explanation:
Grana means big;melkemeans tree; pini means little; hoonmeans house. Therefore, granahoon means big house.
Correct Answer: dwelling

A domicile is a legal residence, so dwelling is the essential component for this item. You do not need a tenant (choice a) in the domicile, nor do you need a kitchen (choice c). A house (choice d) is just one form of a domicile (which could also be a tent, hogan, van, camper, motor home, apartment, dormitory, etc.).
