Question 1: Vehement almost means:
- Aroused
- Antagonistic
- Ardent (Correct answer)
- Apathetic
Correct answer: Ardent
'Vehement' means showing strong feeling; forceful, passionate, or intense. 'Ardent' similarly means enthusiastic or passionate, making it the closest synonym. 'Aroused' implies excitement, 'antagonistic' means hostile, and 'apathetic' means lacking interest, none of which accurately reflect the core meaning of vehement.
Question 2: What number in the series comes next? <br> <br> 23, 3, 18, 9, 13, 27, 8,…
- 30
- 81 (Correct answer)
- 25
- 10
Correct answer: 81
This series consists of two interleaved sequences. The first sequence (23, 18, 13, 8) decreases by 5 each time. The second sequence (3, 9, 27) is a geometric progression where each number is multiplied by 3. Following this pattern, the next number in the second sequence after 27 would be 27 multiplied by 3, which equals 81.
Question 3: What can we say about the conclusion now that the first two premises have been proven to be accurate? <br> You can buy coffee or tea in Swift's bookshop. <br> Swift's Bookstore occasionally provides cookies. <br> Every day Harry visits Swift's bookshop and orders a coffee and a tea. He is always handed a complementary biscuit.
- False (Correct answer)
- True
- Uncertain
Correct answer: False
The premises state that cookies are *occasionally* provided, meaning not always. Harry's personal experience of *always* receiving a complementary biscuit is an anecdotal observation and does not logically contradict the general premise that cookies are only sometimes available. Therefore, concluding that Harry is *always* handed a complementary biscuit based on the general premises is a false inference, as his specific experience doesn't change the general rule.
Question 4: Jenny discovered a bank that pays 3% interest on savings accounts annually. Amy, Jenny's sister, discovers a new bank account with 3.75% interest each year. How much more money will Amy have after 10 years if they each invest $500 today and don't access their bank accounts throughout that time?
- $722.52
- $50.56 (Correct answer)
- $34.78
- $671.96
Correct answer: $50.56
Explanation: <br> I=pr^t may be used to calculate the compounded interest earned on both accounts, which comes out to $50.56. Just make sure to round the rate up by 1. If not, you'll just receive the interest and not the full balance of the account.
Question 5: How many euros can you buy today, at the current exchange rate of 1 USD = 0.88 EUR, with 200 USD?
- 88 EUR
- 176 EUR (Correct answer)
- 188 EUR
- 27 EUR
Correct answer: 176 EUR
Explanation: <br> To find your solution, multiply 200 USD by 0.88 EUR, which is 176 EUR. You might also build up a proportion and solve.

Question 7: According to a recent survey, people in Alaska are happier than people in Hawaii. What logical inference can be made in light of this evidence?
- People in Hawaii should move to Alaska.
- People in Hawaii dislike living on an island.
- Colder climates induce more happiness than warmer climates.
- The high scores on the Alaska survey were produced by people who enjoy snow. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: The high scores on the Alaska survey were produced by people who enjoy snow.
This question tests the ability to avoid unwarranted causal inferences from a correlation. The survey only states a correlation between location and happiness, not a cause. Option D is the only logical inference because it acknowledges a potential characteristic of people who *choose* to live in Alaska (enjoying snow) that might contribute to their happiness there, without making a causal leap about climate or suggesting action. Options A, B, and C make unsupported causal claims or recommendations.
Vehement almost means:
