  1. If you rearrange the letters 'NOCTURAL' you get the name of which type of animal behavior?

    Answer: Nocturnal

    Rearranging NOCTURAL gives NOCTURNAL, which describes animals active at night.

  2. A clock shows 3:15. What is the angle between the hour and minute hands?

    Answer: 7.5°

    At 3:15 the minute hand is at 90° and the hour hand is at 97.5° (3 h × 30° + 15 min × 0.5°), giving a difference of 7.5°.

  3. In a class of 40 students, 60% prefer soccer and 45% prefer basketball. If 15% prefer both, what percentage prefer neither?

    Answer: 10%

    Using inclusion-exclusion: 60 + 45 − 15 = 90% prefer at least one sport, so 10% prefer neither.

  4. What comes next in the letter series: A, C, F, J, O, __?

    Answer: U

    The gaps increase by 1 each step: +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 → O + 6 = U.

  5. Which argument contains a logical flaw? 'We should trust Dr. Smith because she is a doctor and doctors are always right.'

    Answer: Appeal to authority fallacy

    Claiming doctors are always right is an overgeneralized appeal to authority, which is a logical fallacy.

  6. A bag holds 5 red, 3 blue, and 2 green marbles. What is the probability of drawing a red marble?

    Answer: 1/2

    There are 10 marbles total and 5 are red, so probability = 5/10 = 1/2.

  7. Which best describes 'working memory' in a cognitive context?

    Answer: Temporary mental workspace for active information processing

    Working memory is a limited-capacity system that holds and manipulates information in the short term for immediate use.
