Question 1

The average fuel economy of Officer Winston's squad car is 22 miles per gallon. 19 gallons are in the tank. How many miles can Officer Frank drive before the tank runs out if it is exactly halfway full?

Accepted Answer

209

Answer

First, calculate the amount of fuel in the tank: 19 gallons / 2 (halfway full) = 9.5 gallons. Next, multiply the fuel economy by the available fuel to find the total distance: 22 miles/gallon * 9.5 gallons = 209 miles. Therefore, Officer Frank can drive 209 miles before the tank runs out.

Question 2

You've been instructed to distribute leaflets on drug misuse to four high schools in the area. 15 students should receive one pamphlet. The following numbers of pupils attend the schools: School A has 250 pupils. 1000 kids at school B. School C has 725 pupils. School D has 425 pupils. How many leaflets ought you to bring?

Accepted Answer

160

Answer

First, sum the total number of students from all four schools: 250 + 1000 + 725 + 425 = 2400 students. Since one pamphlet is needed for every 15 students, divide the total number of students by 15 to find the total number of pamphlets required: 2400 / 15 = 160 pamphlets. You should bring 160 leaflets.

Question 3

What word in this statement most closely matches the void? Following seeing the armed robbery, Mrs. Garcia was ____.

Accepted Answer

Disturbed

Answer

Following a traumatic event like an armed robbery, it is natural for a person to experience feelings of distress, upset, or agitation. 'Disturbed' accurately describes this emotional state, meaning bothered or troubled. The other options (dapper, dark, dismal) do not convey the appropriate emotional reaction to such an incident.

Question 4

Which of the following sentences has proper grammar?

Accepted Answer

Officer Jackson asked the women to describe the break-in at their apartment.

Answer

Option C uses the correct plural noun 'women' and the correct possessive pronoun 'their' (meaning belonging to them). Options A and D incorrectly use 'they're' (a contraction of 'they are') instead of the possessive 'their.' Option B incorrectly uses the singular 'woman' when the context implies multiple individuals, as suggested by the plural 'women' in the correct answer.

Question 5

Based on the passage below, pick the statement that is the most accurate:
Regarding a vandalism incident, Mr. Brown, the proprietor of Brown's Floral, and I met on Tuesday, November 4. Although there were two damaged front windows, no signs of theft were present. During the shop's overnight closure, the incident took place.

Accepted Answer

The damage consisted of two broken windows.

Answer

The passage explicitly states, 'Although there were two damaged front windows, no signs of theft were present.' This sentence directly confirms that the damage observed consisted of two broken windows. The other statements are either contradicted by the text (no theft occurred) or are not supported by the information provided (Brown's presence or suspicion).
