Answers
- Correct Answer: A – Doctors recommending exercise supports the idea that exercise improves health. The other options only mention difficulties or opinions and do not strengthen the claim.
- Correct Answer: B – The pattern increases by +4, +6, +8. The next increase should be +10. Therefore 20 + 10 = 30.
- Correct Answer: A – A sparrow is a bird, and the premise dictates that all birds are capable of flight; therefore, it can be concluded that a sparrow can fly.
- Correct Answer: B – A book is used for reading. Similarly, a knife is used for cutting.
- Correct Answer: A – Each letter is shifted one step forward in the alphabet. For example A→B and P→Q. Applying the same pattern to MANGO gives NBOHP.
- Correct Answer: B – Internet connectivity issues may prevent students from learning effectively. This weakens the claim that online learning improves performance.
- Correct Answer: C – The pattern increases by +7, +9, +11. The next increase is +13. Therefore 33 + 13 = 46.
- Correct Answer: B – The correct order that fits all conditions is: D → A → B → C → E. The second from the left is A.
- Correct Answer: C – The only definite conclusion from the statement is that laptops are electronic devices. Nothing is said about whether laptops are expensive.
- Correct Answer: B – Fuel powers a car. Similarly, food provides energy for humans.
- Correct Answer: A – Libraries storing books and knowledge supports their importance. The other options do not strengthen the argument.
- Correct Answer: A – The south and north movements cancel each other. Only the 5 km east movement remains.
- Correct Answer: A – Improved memory and concentration explain why sleep helps exam performance. The other options do not support the claim.
- Correct Answer: D – Lion, tiger, and leopard are carnivores. Elephant is a herbivore, so it is different.
- Correct Answer: B – The differences are +5, +7, +9. The next difference should be +11. Therefore 24 + 11 = 35.
