Verbal Reasoning — Classification (Always/essential component): Identify what a “newspaper” must necessarily contain. Focus on definitional essentials versus optional or contextual features such as ads or named editors. Choose the element that is always present in any newspaper.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: News

Explanation:


Concept/Approach
A newspaper is, by definition, a periodical that publishes news, reports, and articles. Dates, editors, and advertising are typical but not logically necessary to the definition.


Option Analysis

  • Date — nearly universal for editions but not the core definitional element.
  • Advertisement — common yet optional.
  • News — essential and definitional. Correct.
  • Editor — publications may appear without a named editor on the masthead.


Final Answer
News.
