  1. Complete the analogy: Physician is to Clinic as Judge is to ___.

    Answer: Courtroom

    A physician works in a clinic; a judge works in a courtroom — both describe a professional and the workplace associated with their role.

  2. Read: 'All data analysts in the research division hold a statistics degree. Dr. Patel holds a statistics degree.' What can be concluded?

    Answer: Dr. Patel may or may not be a data analyst in the research division

    Knowing the requirement doesn't mean everyone with the qualification holds that role; the logic does not reverse — Dr. Patel may have the degree without being in that position.

  3. Which word best fits the blank? The contract terms were deliberately ___; neither party could agree on what had been promised.

    Answer: Ambiguous

    Ambiguous means open to more than one interpretation, which directly explains why neither party agreed on the promised terms.

  4. Read: 'No customer complaints were filed last quarter. If complaints are filed, the product team reviews the feedback.' What is true?

    Answer: The product team did not review feedback last quarter

    No complaints were filed, so the trigger condition for a feedback review never occurred — therefore, the product team did not review feedback.

  5. Identify the word closest in meaning to 'pragmatic':

    Answer: Practical

    Pragmatic means dealing with things sensibly and realistically based on actual conditions, which is synonymous with practical.

  6. Read: 'Most senior engineers prefer remote work. All employees who prefer remote work have submitted a flexible work request.' Adrian is a senior engineer. What can be inferred?

    Answer: Adrian may have submitted a flexible work request

    Most (not all) senior engineers prefer remote work, so Adrian might prefer it; if he does, he has submitted a request — making it possible but not certain.

  7. Which sentence is grammatically and logically correct?

    Answer: The committee, having reviewed the evidence, reached a conclusion

    Option C correctly places the subject (the committee) as the actor performing the action, avoiding the dangling modifier and passive-voice issues in the other options.
