Question 1

Assume that the first two claims are accurate. Based on the information given, is the final statement: 1) True, 2) False, or 3) Uncertain?
The entire football team showed up at the gym.

Benjamin showed up at the gym.

On the football team is Benjamin.

Accepted Answer

Uncertain

Answer

We know the entire football team was at the gym and Benjamin was at the gym. However, the statements do not provide enough information to confirm if Benjamin is part of the football team. Benjamin could be at the gym for another reason, so his membership on the team is uncertain.

Question 2

Joshua, Mary, Miriam, Benny, and Eleanor are in line for the Ferris wheel. Miriam isn't in front. Benny is directly in front of Eleanor. Joshua follows.
If Eleanor is behind Miriam, which of the following is true?

Accepted Answer

Miriam is third

Answer

By systematically placing the individuals based on the clues, we can determine the order. Benny is directly in front of Eleanor (BE), and Eleanor is behind Miriam (M...E), leading to (MBE). Joshua follows, so he's at the end. Since Miriam isn't first, Mary must be first. The final order is Mary, Miriam, Benny, Eleanor, Joshua, making Miriam third.

Question 3

In order to combat smokers and the economic burden they place on the nation, the government has recently resorted to shock tactics (manifested in sick days and health issues). The most recent anti-smoking advertisement featured tumors developing on a cigarette. This advertisement was, needless to say, divisive. On the one hand, the advertisement has generated a lot of interest in the topic since it was first released and has become a viral hit. However, some contend that such a direct strategy doesn't actually work because it makes individuals extremely terrified. When someone suspects they may have cancer or a symptom of cancer, they are inclined to make an effort to forget about it.

Which of the following, while keeping the passage's sense, would be the best replacement for "contentious"?

Accepted Answer

Controversial

Answer

The passage describes the anti-smoking advertisement as generating a lot of interest but also having strong opposing views ('On the one hand... However, some contend...'). 'Controversial' perfectly captures this meaning of causing public disagreement or argument. 'Unpopular' or 'detested' imply a generally negative reception, while 'problematic' suggests issues without necessarily highlighting the debate.

Question 4

FACTS: There are five homes on a street, ordered from left to right (1-2-3-4-5). Every house has a distinctive quality. A gate leads to the front yard of one home. House #4 is not the home with the front porch. The home on the left-hand side lacks a blue door. Right after the house with the long driveway comes the one with the garden. The home with the front yard gate is located one home to the left of the home with the garden and two homes to the right of the home with the front porch.

Conclusion: The porch is on House 2.

Of these, which is true?

Accepted Answer

The facts disprove the conclusion

Answer

By mapping the clues, we find the sequence 'Porch - Driveway - Gate - Garden'. Given that the gate is two homes to the right of the porch, this sequence must start at House 1 to fit within five houses. This places the porch on House 1. Therefore, the conclusion that the porch is on House 2 is disproven by the facts.

Question 5

FACTS: Vowel-first words are Nick's favorites. Only words with consonants are favorites of Brent's. Conrad only enjoys words with the letter C.

Conclusion: No words appeal to Nick and Conrad in the same way.

Accepted Answer

The facts prove the conclusion

Answer

Nick likes words that start with a vowel (A, E, I, O, U). Conrad only likes words that contain the letter 'C'. Since 'C' is a consonant, any word Conrad likes cannot start with a vowel. Therefore, there can be no overlap between the words Nick likes and the words Conrad likes, proving that no words appeal to both Nick and Conrad in the same way.
