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.

Concept/ApproachA 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.
