ieGAT - IE Global Admissions Verbal Logic: True/False/Cannot Say Questions and Answers — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Read the following passage and answer the question. 'All new employees at the consulting firm Axiom Partners are required to complete a mandatory ethics training program within their first 30 days of employment. The program is offered in two formats: a self-paced online module or a two-day in-person workshop. While the in-person workshop is recommended for employees in client-facing roles, it is not compulsory. Last month, every new hire from the Sales department enrolled in the in-person workshop, though some new hires from the Analytics department chose the online module.' Based only on the information provided, which of the following statements must be true?
- At least one new hire from the Analytics department did not attend the in-person workshop. (Correct answer)
- No new employees at Axiom Partners can begin client work until they complete the ethics training.
- All new hires in client-facing roles are required to attend the in-person workshop.
- The online ethics module is shorter than the in-person workshop.
Correct answer: At least one new hire from the Analytics department did not attend the in-person workshop.
The passage states that 'some new hires from the Analytics department chose the online module.' This directly implies that at least one new hire from that department did not attend the in-person workshop, making this statement true. The other options make assumptions not supported by the text: the text doesn't link training completion to starting client work, it explicitly says the in-person workshop is 'not compulsory' for client-facing roles, and it provides no information about the duration of the online module.
Question 2: Read the following passage and answer the question. 'In response to shifting consumer preferences, the automotive company Vectra Motors has announced it will phase out all its diesel engine models by the end of next year. The company's production facility in Spain, which currently produces both diesel and petrol models, will be retooled to exclusively manufacture petrol and hybrid vehicles. The production of all-electric vehicles will remain concentrated at their German facility. Vectra's CEO stated that while the company remains profitable, this strategic shift is essential for long-term growth.' Based only on the information provided, which of the following statements is definitively false?
- The CEO of Vectra Motors is concerned about the company's short-term profitability.
- Vectra Motors will produce petrol models in Spain next year.
- After next year, Vectra Motors will produce vehicles in Germany.
- Next year, Vectra's Spanish facility will produce diesel, petrol, and hybrid vehicles. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Next year, Vectra's Spanish facility will produce diesel, petrol, and hybrid vehicles.
The passage says the Spanish facility 'will be retooled to exclusively manufacture petrol and hybrid vehicles' and that diesel models will be phased out 'by the end of next year'. This means that after the retooling, it will only produce petrol and hybrid models. The statement that it will produce all three types (diesel, petrol, hybrid) next year is therefore false, as the retooling is intended to make production exclusive to the latter two.
Question 3: Read the following passage and answer the question. 'The board of directors for the retail corporation ShopCorp reviewed the quarterly performance of its three main divisions: Groceries, Electronics, and Apparel. The Groceries division saw a 5% increase in revenue but a 2% decrease in profit margin. The Electronics division reported a 10% drop in revenue, which was attributed to supply chain disruptions. The Apparel division was the only division to see an increase in both revenue and profit margin. Overall corporate profits for the quarter were higher than in the previous quarter.' Based on the passage, the truth of which of the following statements cannot be determined?
- The Apparel division's revenue was higher than the Electronics division's revenue. (Correct answer)
- The Groceries division experienced a higher profit margin than the Electronics division.
- The Electronics division's supply chain disruptions were the sole reason for its revenue drop.
- The Apparel division contributed positively to the overall corporate profit increase.
Correct answer: The Apparel division's revenue was higher than the Electronics division's revenue.
The passage provides percentage changes in revenue for each division but gives no information about the absolute revenue figures. Therefore, it is impossible to compare the total revenue of the Apparel division with that of the Electronics division. The other statements can be evaluated: we cannot know the comparative profit margins (Cannot Say), the passage says the drop was 'attributed to' supply chain issues, not that it was the sole reason (Cannot Say), but it is logically true that the Apparel division, with its increase in revenue and profit margin, contributed positively to the overall profit increase.
Question 4: Read the following passage and answer the question. 'A new internal policy at the technology firm Innovate Inc. states that any project team with more than five members must be assigned a dedicated Project Manager. If a team has five or fewer members, a Senior Developer can lead the project. All projects, regardless of team size, must undergo a final review by the Quality Assurance (QA) department. The 'Phoenix' project is currently led by a Senior Developer, and the 'Odyssey' project has been assigned a dedicated Project Manager.' Based only on the information provided, which of the following statements must be true?
- The 'Phoenix' project team has no more than five members. (Correct answer)
- The 'Odyssey' project team has more members than the 'Phoenix' project team.
- The 'Phoenix' project has not yet been reviewed by the QA department.
- A Senior Developer cannot be a member of the 'Odyssey' project team.
Correct answer: The 'Phoenix' project team has no more than five members.
The policy states that if a team has five or fewer members, a Senior Developer can lead it. Since the 'Phoenix' project is led by a Senior Developer, it must logically follow that its team size is five or fewer members. We cannot compare the team sizes of the two projects, as 'Odyssey' could have six members and 'Phoenix' could have five. We have no information on the current status of the QA review for 'Phoenix'. A Senior Developer could certainly be a member of the 'Odyssey' team, even if they are not the leader.
Question 5: Read the following passage and answer the question. 'Global Logistics Corp. offers three tiers of international shipping: Express, Standard, and Economy. All Express shipments are sent by air and are guaranteed to arrive within three business days. Standard shipments may be sent by air or sea, depending on the destination. All shipments to South America, regardless of tier, are routed through the company's Miami hub. No shipments sent by sea are ever processed through the Miami hub.' Based only on the information provided, which of the following statements is definitively false?
- An Economy shipment to Europe could be sent by sea.
- A Standard shipment to Asia could be routed through the Miami hub.
- An Express shipment to South America is sent by sea. (Correct answer)
- A Standard shipment to South America is sent by air.
Correct answer: An Express shipment to South America is sent by sea.
The passage contains two conflicting rules for an Express shipment to South America. Rule 1: All Express shipments are sent by air. Rule 2: All shipments to South America are routed through the Miami hub. Rule 3: No shipments sent by sea are processed through the Miami hub. Statement C claims an Express shipment to South America is sent by sea. This directly contradicts Rule 1, which states ALL Express shipments are sent by air. Therefore, this statement must be false.
Question 6: Read the following passage and answer the question. 'A market research report on the beverage industry found that in the last year, sales of traditional carbonated soft drinks declined. Conversely, the market for bottled water and unsweetened iced tea grew significantly. The report noted that among consumers who had decreased their soft drink consumption, many cited health concerns as the primary reason. The report did not collect data on the consumption of energy drinks or fruit juices.' Based on the passage, the truth of which of the following statements cannot be determined?
- The fruit juice market is larger than the bottled water market. (Correct answer)
- Some consumers have reduced their intake of carbonated soft drinks for health-related reasons.
- The market for unsweetened iced tea expanded last year.
- Sales of traditional carbonated soft drinks decreased in the last year.
Correct answer: The fruit juice market is larger than the bottled water market.
The passage explicitly states that the report 'did not collect data on the consumption of energy drinks or fruit juices.' Therefore, any comparison between the fruit juice market and other markets, such as bottled water, cannot be made based on the information provided. The other three statements are directly supported by the text: consumers cited health concerns for decreasing soft drink consumption, the market for unsweetened iced tea grew, and sales of carbonated soft drinks declined.
