Arrange the following words to make a complete sentence. What comes just before the word "by?"

suitcase by managed the carry to himself Mike

A. Himself
B. Managed
C. Carry
D. Suitcase
E. To

The correct answer is (D). The sentence should read: "Mike managed to carry the suitcase by himself." Therefore, the word that comes before the word "by" is "suitcase."
Solving tip: There is one capitalized word in this sentence and it is "Mike." Therefore, it is the first word in the sentence and it is the subject of the sentence.
The following word after a subject will probably be a verb or a "to be" verb, thus the only word which fits afterwards is "managed."
In addition, the word that comes after the word "by" has to be the word "himself."

Abundant is the opposite of:

A. Ample
B. Meager
C. Sufficient
D. Overflowing
E. Lavish

The correct answer is (B). "Abundant" is an adjective meaning "plentiful" while "meager" is an adjective meaning "not enough." Therefore, the words are opposite in meaning. Answers (A), (D), and (E) are synonyms of "abundant." While answer (C) is related to "abundant," it is neither a synonym nor an antonym of it.

Oranges are to fruits as ____ are to shapes.
A. Angles
B. Dimensions
C. Dots
D. Rulers
E. Triangles

The correct answer is (E). To solve this questions correctly, it is necessary to understand the relationship between X and Y (oranges and fruits). Creating a sentence with the first pair of words and applying it to the second pair is a useful method for solving this type of question. Thus, we should phrase a sentence to define what X is to Y.
Oranges are a specific kind of fruit.
Now, we can try to apply this relation to shapes:
A. Angles are a specific kind of shape.
B. Dimensions are a specific kind of shape.
C. Dots are a specific kind of shape.
D. Rulers are a specific kind of shape.
E. Triangles are a specific kind of shape.
Options B, dimensions, can be eliminated because it is a characteristic of a shape, not a type of one.
Option D, rulers, can also be eliminated as rulers may assist us in creating shapes, but they are not a shape. Angles, dots, and triangles are the only options left.
Although angles and dots are a part of shapes, they do not constitute as shapes. Thus, the correct answer is E.

If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Some officers carry a gun.
Most officers carry a club.
The chances of finding an officer who carries both a gun and a club are high.

A. Yes
B. No
C. Cannot say

The correct answer is (C), cannot say. Although most officers carry a club, we do not know how many of them carry a gun. Therefore, we cannot reach any conclusions about the probability of finding an officer carrying both a gun and a club.

What is the following number in the series?

0.18 -- 0.36 -- 0.72 -- ? -- 2.88

A. 0.9
B. 1.26
C. 1.44
D. 1.62

The correct answer is (C). Each term is double the previous term.

0.18 x 2 = 0.36
0.36 x 2 = 0.72
0.72 x 2 = 1.44
1.44 x 2 = 2.88

Which THREE of the following words have similar meanings?
A. Information
B. Indoctrinate
C. Enlighten
D. School
E. Class

The correct answers are: (B) indoctrinate, (C) enlighten, and (D) school. All three words are verbs that mean "to teach."

"Information" is related to the group but is a noun; therefore, it does not belong. "Class" is also related to the group, and when used as verb, it means "to arrange in a particular group" and not "to teach."

Jade is 9 years older than Rose. In 4 years' time, Jade's age will be double Rose's age. What are their ages today?
A. Jade is 5 years old and Rose is 14 years old
B. Jade is 14 years old and Rose is 5 years old
C. Jade is 2 years old and Rose is 11 years old
D. Jade is 10 years old and Rose is 1 year old
E. Cannot be determined

The correct answer is (B). All the information given is based on the relation between Jade's age and Rose's age. Let's denote Jade's age by X and Rose's age by Y. "Jade is 9 years older than Rose " - we can translate this information into an equation. X = Y + 9
Unfortunately, an equation with two variables is not solvable unless we have another equation. "In 4 years' time, Jade's age will be double Rose's age" - the second sentence also represents a relation. It means that in 4 years Jade's age will be X+4 and will be double Rose's age, which will be Y+4. Look at the equation below: X + 4 = 2 (Y + 4)
Now we have two different equations with 2 variables. The first variable (X) is isolated in the first equation so we can insert its value in the second equation by denoting X as an expression of Y.
(Y + 9) + 4 = 2(Y + 4), (Y + 9) + 4 = 2Y + 8, Y + 13 = 2Y + 8, Y = 5 Another method: Is understanding the relation between the ages too difficult? You can't convert them into equations properly? There is another way to solve this question without all those calculations. The question asks about their ages, and the alternatives offer different ages to choose from. We do not need to try and find the answers ourselves because one of the answers is correct (and if not, the alternative "Cannot be determined" is correct). All we have to do is to check which of the values from the answers fits into the right terms that the question states. We need to find two different ages, with a 9-year gap between them. Furthermore, Jade has to be the older one. The only answers which fit are B and D.
How can we determine which one of them is the correct answer? The second relation between the ages will help. In 4 years Jade will be twice as old as Rose. Answer B is correct because if Jade is now 14 and Rose is 5, in 4 years' time Jade will be 18 and Rose will be 9. Solving tip: 18 is twice as much as 9 so this can be the right answer. Although it fits the information the answer "Cannot be determined" is a trap. Why is that? Because maybe there are two correct answers. If there are, the correct answer is "Cannot be determined." Therefore, we have to check whether answer D fits the terms as well. If it doesn't, the correct answer is B, and if it does the correct answer is E. Answer D contradicts the information, because in 4 years' time Jade will be 14 and Rose will be 5. 5*2 is not 14 and therefore the correct answer is B.
