You can deduce from the first statement that all athletes are hard workers, but you do not have any information about non-athletes. Therefore, according to the second statement, you cannot conclude anything regarding Alice, who is not an athlete. The final statement is uncertain.
The answer is 392. This is a classic combinations question. In order to solve the problem, you must figure the correct number of choices in each category. We have 3 categories: Dresses= a choice between 7 options. Shoes = a choice between 8 options. Necklaces = a choice between 7 options. The overall number of combinations equals to a multiplication of the number of options within each category: 7*7*8=392
Two hours and 15 minutes are 135 minutes in total. The most songs that can be played are 45 (45 songs X 3 minutes each = 135 minutes). The last songs that can be played are 23 (22 songs X 6 minutes each + 1 song X 3 minutes = 132 + 3 = 135)
The correct answer is: 2. When solving this type of question it is important to understand the pattern that the three circles exhibit and the numerical relationship between them. Focus on the quarter that the question mark appears in and check to see if there is a common relationship that repeats itself between that quarter and the other quarters of each of the circles. In this example, the circles share the following pattern: (Top cell) minus (Diagonal-bottom-cell) = 1. e.g. left circle: 6 (top-left) – 5 (bottom-right) = 1, 9 (top-right) – 8 (bottom-left) = 1; right circle: 0 (top-left) – (-1) (bottom-right) = 1. According to the reasoning above the (top-left) cell – (bottom-right) cell = 1. Therefore, the (bottom-right) cell = 2.
The correct answer is 28. It helps to memorize the most common fractions that represent each type of percentages/decimals. For example: 1\4 = 0.25 = 25% 1\8 = 0.125 = 12.5% If there are 32 students in the class and only 12.5% of them own at least one pet then all that is left is to divide 32\8 to know that 4 students own a pet and 28 do not.
The answer is C. REPLETE means “full with,” and FAMISHED means “very hungry.” If a person is FAMISHED, they are not REPLETE with food. In a specific context, these two adjectives directly contradict one another. If something is BLATANT it is very obvious, while if something is MASKED it is hidden. If something is MASKED, it is not BLATANT – these two words also directly contradict each other, and is, therefore, the correct answer. Incorrect Answers A – SHROUD means “to cover,” and HASTEN means “to do something quickly.” These two words do not have a strong relationship. B – PLAUSIBLE means “reasonable,” and PLACATE means “try to please.” These two words do not have a strong relationship. D – COMMENCE means to begin, and a person GRADUATEs upon completing a course of study. Often, GRADUATION ceremonies are referred to as COMMENCEment ceremonies. These two words are related but do not contradict one another. E – A person who is DEPRESSED may not be SUCCESSFUL, but these two words do not directly contradict each other.
The answer is: 25. Answer explanation: This series is a variation of the famous Fibonacci sequence: each term equals the sum of the two previous terms minus 2.
The arrows move 90 degrees counterclockwise, and the colors change between black, grey and white in cycles of three. Based on the progression of the arrows, the following arrow in the series must be gray and pointing downwards.
The correct answer is subservient. Imperious means "domineering in a haughty manner; dictatorial; overbearing," so the antonym is subservient. Arrogant is a similar word but not a synonym. Quiet, stormy, and gloomy are not related. Therefore, the correct answer is subservient.
The correct answer is A - Yes. The way to solve this type of question is to examine the ratios and see if there could be an overlap between the two groups - if most of the snakes are green and most of the snakes are quick, we can deduce that there has to be at least one green snake that is also quick. This happens because the subgroups of "green" and "quick" each constitute more than 50% of the entire snake population (most of the snakes means more than 50%) and consequently must overlap.
The correct answer is prestige. The word clout has two meanings: (1) A heavy blow, especially with the hand (2) The power to influence, usually regarding politics or business. Prestige is close in meaning to the second definition of clout and is therefore the correct answer.
