DLAB - Defense Language Aptitude Battery Interpreting Rules from Images Questions and Answers 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: You are shown a series of images with corresponding phrases in a fictional language:
- Image 1: A large green circle. Phrase: 'zorp vesh gool'
- Image 2: A large red circle. Phrase: 'zorp klin gool'
- Image 3: A small green circle. Phrase: 'zorp vesh neep'
Based on these examples, which phrase would correctly describe an image of a 'small red circle'?
- zorp vesh gool
- klin zorp gool
- zorp klin neep (Correct answer)
- zorp neep klin
Correct answer: zorp klin neep
By comparing the phrases, we can deduce the words: 'zorp' means circle, 'vesh' means green, 'klin' means red, 'gool' means large, and 'neep' means small. The grammatical structure is Shape-Color-Size. Therefore, a 'small red circle' translates to 'zorp klin neep'.
Question 2: Analyze the following image-phrase pairs:
- Image 1: One triangle. Phrase: 'trigon'
- Image 2: Three triangles. Phrase: 'trigon-im'
- Image 3: One square. Phrase: 'quad'
Following this pattern, what would be the phrase for an image showing two squares?
- quad-im (Correct answer)
- quads
- trigon-quad
- im-quad
Correct answer: quad-im
The rule for pluralization in this language is to add the suffix '-im' to the noun. The number of objects (beyond one) does not change the suffix. Therefore, the plural of 'quad' is 'quad-im'.
Question 3: You are given three examples of objects and their locations:
- Image 1: A ball *inside* a box. Phrase: 'bola kista ven'
- Image 2: A ball *on top of* a box. Phrase: 'bola kista dep'
- Image 3: A star *inside* a box. Phrase: 'astra kista ven'
Which of the following phrases correctly describes an image of a 'star on top of a box'?
- kista astra dep
- bola astra dep
- astra dep kista
- astra kista dep (Correct answer)
Correct answer: astra kista dep
From the examples, we can determine the vocabulary and word order. 'bola' = ball, 'astra' = star, 'kista' = box. The preposition ('ven' = inside, 'dep' = on top of) comes last. The word order is [Movable Object] [Stationary Object] [Preposition]. Therefore, 'a star on top of a box' is 'astra kista dep'.
Question 4: Deduce the rule from the following image-action pairs:
- Image 1: A person running. Phrase: 'homo corit'
- Image 2: A dog running. Phrase: 'canis corit'
- Image 3: A person sleeping. Phrase: 'homo dormit'
What is the most probable phrase for an image of a 'dog sleeping'?
- dormit canis
- canis dormit (Correct answer)
- homo canis
- corit dormit
Correct answer: canis dormit
By comparing the phrases, we can learn that 'homo' means person, 'canis' means dog, 'corit' means running, and 'dormit' means sleeping. The sentence structure is Subject-Verb. Thus, 'dog sleeping' translates to 'canis dormit'.
Question 5: You are shown images and phrases demonstrating more complex rules:
- Image 1: A blue bird. Phrase: 'avis caerul'
- Image 2: Blue birds (plural). Phrase: 'avis-em caerul-ex'
- Image 3: A red bird. Phrase: 'avis rubr'
Following these rules, how would you describe an image of 'red birds' (plural)?
- avis-em rubr-ex (Correct answer)
- avis-em rubr
- rubr-ex avis-em
- avis rubr-ex
Correct answer: avis-em rubr-ex
Two rules are evident: 1) To make a noun plural, add the suffix '-em'. 2) When the noun is plural, the adjective that modifies it must take the suffix '-ex'. Applying both rules, the singular 'avis rubr' becomes the plural 'avis-em rubr-ex'.
Question 6: Observe the following images showing possession:
- Image 1: The man's hat. Phrase: 'petaso de vir'
- Image 2: The woman's hat. Phrase: 'petaso de fem'
- Image 3: The man's book. Phrase: 'libro de vir'
An image shows a 'woman's book'. What is the correct description?
- fem de libro
- petaso de libro
- libro de fem (Correct answer)
- libro de vir
Correct answer: libro de fem
From the examples, the rule for possession is: [Possessed Item] 'de' [Possessor]. We can also deduce that 'petaso' is hat, 'libro' is book, 'vir' is man, and 'fem' is woman. Therefore, 'the woman's book' is 'libro de fem'.
