Question 1
Which verb means to contravene or breach?
Correct Answer:
Violate
Explanation:
The meaning being tested is a verb that describes going against rules or laws. Violate is the word that fits this sense best because it directly means to break, contravene, or disobey a rule, law, or agreement. You violate a law, you violate a contract, or you violate terms of service—each use conveys actively going beyond what is permitted. Obey means to follow or comply with rules, so it is the opposite of violating. Conform means to align with standards or norms, which again implies following rather than breaking. Respect can mean regard or honor something, and while you can respect rules by following them, it does not inherently mean to breach or contravene.
Question 2
Final product 1322 x 0.15.
Correct Answer:
198.30
Explanation:
When you multiply by a decimal, treat the decimal as a fraction. Here, 0.15 is 15/100, so 1322 × 0.15 equals 1322 × 15 divided by 100. Compute 1322 × 15: 1322 × 10 = 13220, and 1322 × 5 = 6610, so total is 19830. Divide by 100 to get 198.30. The two decimal places reflect the hundredths in 0.15, so the exact product is 198.30 (which is the same value as 198.3, just shown with two decimals).
Question 3
Which term matches the definition of fringe?
Correct Answer:
decorative edge of hanging threads; edge
Explanation:
Fringe refers to the decorative edge of fabric, like hanging threads along a hem or the border around a shawl or curtain. That matches the given definition precisely: a decorative edge of hanging threads; edge. The other ideas describe rebellion, helping, or an omen, which are unrelated to the sense of fringe as an edging or border. So the best fit is the decorative edge meaning.
Question 4
With annual compound interest at 5%, what is the amount after 2 years on 1000?
Correct Answer:
1102.50
Explanation:
Annual compound interest means each year’s interest is earned on the balance at the end of the previous year. Start with 1000. After one year at 5%, you have 1000 × 1.05 = 1050. After the second year, apply 5% to 1050: 1050 × 1.05 = 1102.50. So the amount after two years is 1102.50. This is higher than simple interest (which would yield 1100) because the interest each year is earned on the growing balance, not just the original principal.
Question 5
If all A are B and some C are A, what can we conclude about C?
Correct Answer:
Some C are B
Explanation:
If all As are Bs, then every A also belongs to B. If some Cs are A, that means there is at least one C that is also an A. Since that C is an A and all A are B, that C must also be a B. So there exists at least one C that is a B, i.e., some Cs are Bs.
