Question 1: Being kind to others and making a difference in their life can make our lives happier.
- will help us (Correct answer)
- will helping us
- will helped us
- would helped them
- No correction required
Correct answer: will help us
The sentence requires the simple future tense to express a future outcome. 'Will help us' correctly uses the auxiliary verb 'will' followed by the base form of the verb 'help,' making it grammatically sound and conveying the intended meaning. The other options contain grammatical errors in verb tense or form.
Question 2: From 1 to 250, there are all the numbers in a set. What is the likelihood that a random number chosen is a multiple of three?
- 83/250 (Correct answer)
- 82/250
- 1/3
- 80/250
Correct answer: 83/250
To find the likelihood, first determine the number of multiples of three between 1 and 250. Dividing 250 by 3 gives 83 with a remainder, meaning there are 83 multiples of three (3, 6, ..., 249). The probability is then the number of favorable outcomes (83) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (250), resulting in 83/250.
Question 3: What episode of the series 8, 15, 12, 19, 16, and 23 is next?
- 20 (Correct answer)
- 30
- 31
- 26
Correct answer: 20
The sequence follows an alternating pattern: add 7, then subtract 3. Starting with 8, add 7 to get 15, subtract 3 to get 12, add 7 to get 19, subtract 3 to get 16, add 7 to get 23. Following this pattern, the next step is to subtract 3 from 23, which gives 20.
Question 4: The simplest method to avoid stress brought on by obligations at work or home is to engage in vigorous physical activity.
- Easier ways for
- Easily way to
- Easier way from
- Easiest way to (Correct answer)
- No correction required
Correct answer: Easiest way to
The sentence implies comparing various methods to avoid stress, indicating that one method is superior to all others. Therefore, the superlative adjective 'easiest' is required to correctly modify 'way' and convey that it is the most effective or simple method among all possibilities.
Question 5: Sunday is today. Four days after the day before yesterday, I had an interview. What day will I be showing up for the interview?
- Wednesday
- Tuesday (Correct answer)
- Thursday
- Monday
Correct answer: Tuesday
If today is Sunday, then 'the day before yesterday' was Friday. Four days after Friday is Tuesday. (Friday + 1 day = Saturday, + 2 days = Sunday, + 3 days = Monday, + 4 days = Tuesday). Therefore, the interview will be on Tuesday.
Question 6: People have long recognized the therapeutic benefits of (1) helping others and (2) helping oneself. No mistake (4) (5)
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 1
- 4
- 3
- 5
Correct answer: 2
This question tests grammatical parallelism. The phrase 'helping others' uses a gerund form. For the sentence to be grammatically correct and maintain parallel structure, the second benefit, 'helping oneself,' must also use the gerund form. If the original sentence had a different construction at point (2), such as 'to help oneself' or 'help oneself,' it would be an error requiring correction to 'helping oneself.'
Question 7: Mico remarked, "He is the only son of my grandfather's sister," pointing to a picture. How is Mico linked to the man in the image?
- Aunt
- Uncle (Correct answer)
- Father
- Sibling
Correct answer: Uncle
Mico's 'grandfather's sister' is Mico's great-aunt. The man in the picture is 'the only son of my grandfather's sister,' meaning he is Mico's great-aunt's son. This makes him a first cousin to Mico's parent, and thus Mico's uncle.
Being kind to others and making a difference in their life can make our lives happier.
