Correct Answer: directions
Explanation:
A recipe is a list of directions to make something. Recipes may be used to prepare desserts (choice a), among other things. One does not need a cookbook (choice c) to have a recipe, and utensils (choice d) may or may not be used to make a recipe.
Correct Answer: Jared's blooper over the head of the short-stop puts him in scoring position.
Explanation:
The fact that Jared is in scoring position due to his blooper indicates that he has hit the ball and is now a base runner; therefore, he has legally completed his time at bat. Choices b and c both describe situations in which a strike is called, but they do not state that the batter has been put out or that he is now a base runner. Choice d describes a situation in which the batter, Mario, is still at the plate waiting for the next pitch.
Correct Answer: Only argument I is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, besides interview, there can be other modes of written examination to judge candidates' motives. So argument II is not strong enough. However, the interview is a subjective assessment without doubt. So, argument I holds.
Correct Answer: wolf : pack

A group of fish is a shoal; a group of wolves is a pack.

Correct Answer: None of these
Correct Answer: arrogant
