	D.	Neither I nor II follows

Direction (for Q.No. 5):

First, you will be given a list of three "nonsense" words and their English word meanings. The question(s) that follow will ask you to reverse the process and translate an English word into the artificial language.

Here are some words translated from an artificial language.
godabim means kidney stones
romzbim means kidney beans
romzbako means wax beans
Which word could mean "wax statue"?

	A.	godaromz
	B.	lazbim
	C.	wasibako
	D.	romzpeo

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From godabim and romzbim, you can determine that bim means kidney. From romzbim and romzbako, you can determine that romz means beans. Therefore, bako means wax. Because the adjective wax must come after the noun in this language, wasibako is the only choice.

Direction (for Q.No. 6):

Read the paragraph carefully and determine the main point the author is trying to make. What conclusion can be drawn from the argument? Each paragraph is followed by five statements.One statement supports the author's argument better than the others do.

Today's high school students spend too much time thinking about trivial and distracting matters such as fashion. Additionally, they often dress inappropriately on school grounds. Rather than spending time writing another detailed dress policy, we should make school uniforms mandatory. If students were required to wear uniforms, it would increase a sense of community and harmony in our schools and it would instill a sense of discipline in our students. Another positive effect would be that teachers and administrators would no longer have to act as clothing police, freeing them up to focus on more important issues.
This paragraph best supports the statement that

	A.	inappropriate clothing leads to failing grades.
	B.	students who wear school uniforms get into better colleges.
	C.	teachers and administrators spend at least 25% of their time enforcing the dress code.
	D.	students are not interested in being part of a community
	E.	school uniforms should be compulsory for high school students.

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option E

Explanation:

The support for choice e is in the third sentence "we should make school uniforms mandatory". There is no evidence provided to support choices a, b, and d. And although we know that teachers and administrators are spending some of their time enforcing dress code, the paragraph does not quantify how much of their time is spent that way, so there is no support for choice c.

Correct Answer: Option B

Zachary has invited his three buddies over to watch the basketball game on his wide-screen television. They are all hungry, but no one wants to leave to get food. Just as they are arguing about who should make the food run, a commercial comes on for a local pizze-ria that delivers. The phone number flashes on the screen briefly and they all try to remember it. By the time Zachary grabs a pen and paper, each of them recollects a different number.

#2: Three of them agree that the fourth number is 9.

#3: Three agree that the fifth number is 2.

#4: Three agree that the sixth number is 6; three others agree that the seventh number is also 6.

Which of the numbers is most likely the telephone number of the pizzeria?

	B.	995-9336
	C.	995-9268
	D.	995-8266

Your Answer: Option

All of the men agree that the first three numbers are 995. Three of them agree that the fourth number is 9. Three agree that the fifth number is 2. Three agree that the sixth number is 6; three others agree that the seventh number is also 6. "Option A" is the best choice because it is made up of the numbers that most of the men agree they saw.

Here are some words translated from an artificial language.
hapllesh means cloudburst

resbosrench means ninepin
Which word could mean "cloud nine"?

	A.	leshsrench
	B.	ochhapl
	C.	haploch
	D.	haplresbo

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Hapl means cloud; lesh means burst; srench means pin; och means ball; and resbo means nine. Leshsrench (choice a) doesn't contain any of the words needed for cloud nine. We know that och means ball, so that rules out choices b and c. When you combine hapl (cloud) with resbo (nine), you get the correct answer

wedding

	A.	love
	B.	church

	B.	Only argument II is strong
	C.	Either I or II is strong
	D.	Neither I nor II is strong
	E.	Both I and II are strong

Your Answer: Option
