What is the main idea of the sentence: "A marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometers."?
A marathon is a short sprint.
A marathon is a long-distance running event.
Marathons always take less than two hours.
Marathons occur in the Winter Olympics.
The sentence defines what a marathon is by specifying its distance and type of event. It clearly states that a marathon is a long-distance running event, making that the main idea.
Which core concept is described by "Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy in plants"?
Photosynthesis
Fermentation
Cellular respiration
Transpiration
The sentence directly defines photosynthesis as the process of converting light into chemical energy. None of the other processes match that description.
Which of the following is the most concise summary of: "The cat chased the mouse but failed to catch it."?
A hunt ended with no success for the cat.
Despite a cat chasing a mouse, it was unable to capture the speedy rodent.
Because of the failed chase, the cat's efforts were unsuccessful.
The cat unsuccessfully chased the mouse.
"The cat unsuccessfully chased the mouse." captures both actions (chase and failure) in a brief, clear form. The other options are wordier or less direct.
Which word is a synonym for "rapid"?
Delayed
Leisurely
Gradual
Quick
"Quick" denotes speed and is the most direct synonym for "rapid." The others imply slowness or delay.
What is an effective technique for quick assessment of multiple-choice questions?
Answer questions in reverse order.
Read all options twice before starting.
Write lengthy justifications for each choice.
Eliminate obviously incorrect answers first.
Eliminating clearly wrong options narrows choices and speeds decision-making. Other methods either waste time or are less efficient.
Identify the hidden assumption in the argument: "If it rains, the ground gets wet. The ground is wet, so it must have rained."
Only rain can make the ground wet.
Water evaporates quickly.
The ground never dries.
It never rains at night.
The argument assumes that rain is the sole cause of wet ground. Without that assumption, other causes (like sprinklers) could explain wet ground.
What causes ocean tides?
Movements of sea creatures
Plate tectonic shifts
Wind speed over the ocean surface
The Moon's gravitational pull
Ocean tides are primarily driven by the gravitational force of the Moon acting on Earth's oceans. Wind and tectonics do not create the regular tidal cycle.
When under a strict 30-second time limit per question, which strategy is most effective?
Skip and return later to the toughest questions.
Skim the question stem for keywords before reviewing options.
Answer questions in order without skimming.
Read every answer option thoroughly before the question.
Skimming the stem for keywords focuses attention and saves time. It guides you quickly to relevant answer options.
Which choice best labels the fallacy: "Everyone is buying the new phone, so it must be the best."?
Strawman fallacy
Ad hominem
Bandwagon fallacy
Slippery slope
Claiming something is best because many people choose it is the bandwagon fallacy. It relies on popularity rather than evidence of quality.
The statement "All observed swans are white; therefore, all swans are white" illustrates which type of reasoning?
Analogical reasoning
Circular reasoning
Deductive reasoning
Inductive generalization
Generalizing from observed instances to all cases is inductive generalization. It moves from specific observations to a broader conclusion.
What is the core recommendation in the passage: "The government plans to reduce carbon emissions by 2030 by requiring factories to upgrade equipment."?
Delay emission targets indefinitely.
Carbon emissions will decrease naturally.
Upgrade factory equipment to reduce emissions.
Factories should be shut down.
The passage specifically recommends that factories upgrade equipment as a means to meet the emissions reduction target by 2030.
Which time management strategy is best when you must answer many questions in limited time?
Answer easiest questions first, then return to harder ones.
Spend equal time on each question.
Start with the hardest questions.
Skip review and move only forward.
Tackling easier questions first secures quick points and builds momentum, leaving more time for challenging items later.
Which question stem prompts evaluation rather than simple recall?
Analyze the relationship between variables.
List three examples.
Define the term.
State the date of the event.
"Analyze the relationship" requires critical thinking and evaluation, whereas the others ask for straightforward factual recall.
Which of these is the most accurate summary of: "Despite initial failures, the startup eventually achieved profitability"?
The startup became profitable after failing at first.
Early failures prevented any success.
Profitability caused the failures.
The startup was profitable from the start.
The correct summary notes both the initial failures and the eventual profitability in a clear, concise manner.
What is the most precise definition of "concise"?
Redundant
Long and detailed
Brief and comprehensive
Vague and broad
"Concise" means expressing much information in few words, combining brevity with completeness. The other choices do not capture that precision.
Read the passage: "Urban traffic rose 20% in five years, causing longer commutes and more emissions. Investing in public transit could ease congestion and cut pollution." Which conclusion most logically follows?
More cars will lower emissions.
Suburbanization increases traffic naturally.
Building more highways is the best solution.
Public transit investment can reduce traffic and pollution.
The passage presents data on traffic and emissions and then proposes public transit investment to address both issues. The logical conclusion is that such investment can reduce congestion and pollution.
Which logical flaw is present in: "Solution A failed in one test case; therefore, it will always fail."?
Post hoc fallacy
Appeal to authority
False dilemma
Hasty generalization
Extrapolating from a single failed case to a universal failure is a hasty generalization. It draws a broad conclusion from insufficient evidence.
In the argument "All managers passed the test. Therefore, the test is easy," what implicit assumption underpins the conclusion?
Managers only take easy tests.
High pass rates indicate an easy test.
Managers are inherently skilled.
The test had many questions.
The conclusion that the test is easy assumes that a high pass rate signifies ease. Without that assumption, the test could be hard despite many managers passing.
Under severe time pressure, which method best balances speed and accuracy when answering a complex question?
Read the stem quickly for keywords then evaluate options.
Memorize all answer choices before reading the question.
Skip difficult questions entirely.
Answer in order without pausing to think.
Skimming the stem for keywords identifies the core question rapidly, then evaluating options ensures accuracy. Other methods sacrifice either speed or correctness.
Which pair of techniques best supports rapid and accurate multiple-choice answering?
Answer sequentially without review.
Eliminate wrong answers and track time.
Guess first, then eliminate.
Read options last and write notes.
Eliminating incorrect choices narrows down possibilities, and tracking time prevents spending too long on any single question. Together, they enhance speed and accuracy.
