Answer key & explanations

Q1: B — Each notebook costs $16 ÷ 4 = $4. Then 3 × $4 = $12.

Q2: D — Squares are a subset of rectangles, which are a subset of quadrilaterals.

Q3: C — Compare campaign to campaign, not campaign to retention.

Q4: D — P(red) = number of red / total = 7/13.

Q5: C — Slope = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁) = 7/2 = 3.5.

Q6: B — Total parts = 4 + 4 = 8. Smaller share = 16.

Q7: A — Mandative subjunctive: required that + base form "submit".

Q8: B — The four numbers sum to 4 × 10 = 40. The fourth is 40 − 39 = 1.

Q9: B — Substitute x = 5: f(5) = 5(5) + 0 = 25.

Q10: C — The series increases by 2 each time. After 9 comes 11.

Q11: D — "Since" is used with a starting point in time.

Q12: B — 30% of 60 = (30/100) × 60 = 18.

Q13: A — Each notebook costs $24 ÷ 6 = $4. Then 3 × $4 = $12.

Q14: B — At 9:00 the minute hand points to 12 and the hour hand points to 9, giving an angle of 90°.

Q15: C — Suggest + gerund is standard. "Suggest to go" is not standard exam English.

Q16: B — P(red) = number of red / total = 7/10.

Q17: C — Slope = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁) = 4/4 = 1.

Q18: B — The series moves backward by 2 letters each step.

Q19: A — Where for a place.

Q20: A — The four numbers sum to 4 × 14 = 56. The fourth is 56 − 32 = 24.

Q21: C — Substitute x = 11: f(11) = 5(11) + 3 = 58.

Q22: B — Each letter moves one step forward in the alphabet.

Q23: C — Despite + noun/gerund, not a full clause (unless "despite the fact that").

Q24: D — 10% of 80 = (10/100) × 80 = 8.

Q25: A — Each notebook costs $24 ÷ 6 = $4. Then 7 × $4 = $28.

Q26: C — Contrapositive: if not postponed, then it did not rain.

Q27: C — No sooner + inversion with past perfect.

Q28: D — P(red) = number of red / total = 7/12.

Q29: C — Slope = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁) = 8/6 = 1.3333.
