DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES | ALREADY GRADED A

Question 1 (Verbal Reasoning - Word Relationship) Which word is least like the others?

• Rapid
• Swift
• Quick
• Slow
• Fast

Correct Answer: D) Slow

Rationale: Rapid, Swift, Quick, and Fast are all synonyms meaning moving with great speed.Slow is an antonym.Question 2 (Mathematical Word Problem) If a baker makes 25 cakes in 5 hours, how many cakes can they make in 8 hours at the same rate?

• 30
• 35
• 40
• 45
• 50

Correct Answer: C) 40

Rationale: Rate = 25 cakes / 5 hours = 5 cakes/hour. In 8 hours, 5 cakes/hour * 8 hours = 40 cakes.Question 3 (Logic - Pattern Recognition) What comes next in the following sequence?

3, 6, 9, 12, ?

• 14
• 15
• 16
• 18
• 20

Correct Answer: B) 15

Rationale: This is an arithmetic progression where each number increases by 3 (3+3=6,

6+3=9, 9+3=12, 12+3=15).

Question 4 (Verbal - Analogies)

SHOE is to FOOT as GLOVE is to: 1 / 4

• Hand
• Finger
• Arm
• Wrist
• Cover

Correct Answer: A) Hand

Rationale: A shoe covers a foot, and a glove covers a hand.

Question 5 (Abstract Reasoning - Visual Pattern) (Imagine a square with a small dot. The dot moves 1 step clockwise around the perimeter of the square, starting from the top-left corner.)

Sequence:

• Dot in Top-Left
• Dot in Top-Right
• Dot in Bottom-Right

What will the next position of the dot be?

• Top-Left
• Top-Right
• Bottom-Left
• Bottom-Right
• Center

Correct Answer: C) Bottom-Left

Rationale: The dot moves one corner clockwise each time. From the Bottom-Right, the next position clockwise is the Bottom-Left.Question 6 (Vocabulary - Opposites)

The opposite of "transparent" is:

• Clear
• Opaque
• Invisible
• See-through
• Bright

Correct Answer: B) Opaque

Rationale: Transparent means allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen. Opaque means not able to be seen through; not transparent. 2 / 4

Question 7 (Mathematical Series) What number should come next in this series?

1, 2, 4, 7, 11, ?

• 13
• 14
• 15
• 16
• 18

Correct Answer: D) 16

Rationale: The difference between consecutive numbers increases by 1 each time:

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 3 = 7

7 + 4 = 11

11 + 5 = 16

Question 8 (Spatial Reasoning) If you cut a rectangular piece of paper in half, then cut one of the halves in half again, what fraction of the original piece is the smallest piece?

A) 1/2

B) 1/3

C) 1/4

D) 1/8

E) 1/16

Correct Answer: C) 1/4

Rationale: Cutting in half once gives two 1/2 pieces. Cutting one of those halves in half again gives two 1/4 pieces.Question 9 (Verbal - Sentence Completion) The jury found the defendant ______ of the crime.
