Correct Answer: E This question is looking for the antonym of the word novice, which means a beginner. Stu- dents may be tempted to choose answer D, as someone who is the opposite of a beginner may be professional; however, this is not a true opposite. Choice Eis the only answer that makes sense, 2. Correct Answer: A As we progress from left to right, the pattern in the top row shows that the small circle in the square moves from the top-left position to the bottom-right and then to the top-right. At the same time it alternates its highlighting from dark to light and then back to dark. The same pattern applies on the second row. The square inside the circle will move from the [oP teR Position to the bottom-right and then to the top-right. it wil also alternate its high- lighting. Therefore, the missing igure inthe second position must be a circle, eliminating choices C and D. The small square must be positioned inside in the bottom-right position, which eliminates choice B. Only choices A and E remain. The correct choice is A, because the square must alternate its highlighting from dark to light. 3. Correct Answer: A With this question, the key isto figure out the relationship between the words provided in the analogy. It helps to put the words in a sentence to evaluate their relationship. We might Say, that “many pages make up a book.” We know, then, that this analogy shows us a very small part of a much larger whole. We can also say that “many bricks make up a bul 8,” which means that choice A is the correct answer. Concrete, option B, is incorrect because bricks are not a composite, or part of, concrete. The answer options Cand D describe bricks, but they do not complete the part to whole analogy. Additionally, the answer option E of “fire” doesn’t exhibit a clear relationship to bricks, 4. Correct Answer: € The first three drawings are all different from each other. The first drawing is a square, a cir- cle, and a shaded hexagon; the second drawing is a hexagon, a shaded square, and 2 circle; and the third drawing is a shaded circle, a hexagon, and a square. We can also see that the fifth figure is the same as the second figure. This indicates that the group of the first three shapes starts to repeat, which means the fourth shape must also be the same as the first shape. Choice Cis the same drawing as the first drawing in the series and completes the pattern of three different figures that repeat, 5. Correct Answer With this question, the key is finding the answer option that is something all homes have, Students may want to choose options B or C, as these are likely things that homes often have, However, a home—like an apartment, for example—could be one room, so that would rule out answer option B. Additionally, while most homes do have a bed, itis possible that not all homes contain beds. The only answer that works is option D because, by definition, a home is a place where a person lives. Origins Publications © a‘Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 6. Correct Answer: B In answering this question, it’s important to consider both of the blanks. The words used to fill these blanks have a cause and effect relationship, so students have to be alert for this correlation. The only set of answers that works is option B. However, there are several an- swer options where one word will make sense. For example, it would make sense to say that someone passed a test or aced a test; however, these answer options fall apart when we fill in the second blank. It would not make sense to say that someone passed a test because they did not study, or that someone aced a test because they did not understand the mate- rial. The other answer options—C and D—have answer options that don’t really make sense in either blank. 7. Correct Answer: A With this question, we have to look for a pattern in the answer options. Most of the answers start with “sh” and ends with “s.” We have: shackles, shirts, shades, and shakes. The only answer option that does not belong is shine because, though it starts with an “sh,” it does not end with an “s.” Therefore, this (choice A) is our correct answer, as this option is unlike the others. 8. Correct Answer: C Based on the information provided in this question, we know that the order of these girls’ ‘ages, from oldest to youngest, is Tiffany, Liza, then Madison. Other than this, we don’t know anything for certain; everything else besides answer option C is a guess rather than a fact. 9. Correct Answer: C In the first pair of this figural analogy, we can see that the hexagon rotates by 180 degrees and then reverses its highlighting so that the light sections become dark and the dark sec- tions become light. To find the missing figure, we must rotate the circle by 180 degrees and reverse its highlighting. By reversing the highlighting, the circle we are looking for will have only one of its sections unshaded. Answer A is eliminated, because it is a hexagon and not a circle. Answers B and D are also eliminated because they have more than one unshaded section. The correct answer is C because it has been rotated by exactly 180 degrees before reversing its highlighting. 10. Correct Answer: B In order to answer this question, students must first arrange the sentence correctly. The completed sentence should read, “Put your hand in mine.” Then, students must identify the first letter of the second word of the sentence: “y.” The correct choice is therefore option B. 11. Correct Answer: A We know that analogies are all about determining the relationship between words. If we make a sentence to show the relationship in this question, we might say that a “note is part ofa scale.” In looking at the answer options, students need to ask themselves what other pair of words would fit equally well in this sentence. Out of all the options, a “star is part of a constellation” makes the most sense. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.‘Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 12. Correct Answer: C. The key to this question is determining the relationship between the words. In the top row, each word, moving from left to right, has an additional letter. The base word is on. To get the next word, we've added a letter— an s— to the beginning, so we wind up with son. Then, we add another letter to the end of son to get song. When we move to the bottom row, we know that as we move from left to right, we will start with a base word. From the base word, we add a letter at the beginning to get the second word, and we add an additional letter to the end to get the third word. The word that would complete this scenario is man. ‘Students might be tempted to choose answer B, san; however, we know that the answer ‘option has to correspond with the third word in the row. 13. Correct Answer: E In this series, each drawing is made up of an inner and an outer shape. Each inner shape has an arrow attached, and the arrow rotates counterclockwise 90 degrees between each shape as we move from left to right. Therefore, we expect that the missing shape will be one with an arrow attached at the bottom of its inner shape. We can eliminate choices A and D because the arrow in these shapes is not at the bottom. In choice C the arrow is attached at the bottom of the outer shape rather than at the bottom of the inner shape. To make our final selection between choices B and E, we observe that the outer shapes of the given four drawings in this series are all different from each other: circle, square, hexagon and triangle. The hexagon outer shape in choice B has already been used as an outer shape in the third drawing of the series. Therefore, the missing drawing must be one with a new different out- er shape, which is the diamond in choice E. 14. Correct Answer: A The key with this question is making sure that both words make sense in the given context. Any of the first words in the answer options would make sense: we can ‘wash’, ‘clean, ‘find’ ‘dirty’ or ‘wipe’ dishes. However, the second answer option must make sense together with the first word. Only the words in choice A work together in the blanks to make a complete thought. 15. Correct Answer: C In the first pair of this figural analogy, each of the two drawings is comprised of an outer shape and inner shape. The outer shape changes from a circle to a triangle and the inner shape stays the same, but changes from light to dark. Similar traits must be applied to the second pair, which has an outer shape that is a square and an inner shape that is a light cir- cle. The outer shape must change from a square, which eliminates choice B. Choices A and D are eliminated because the circles inside do not change from light to dark. Choice € is elimi- nated because the inner shape is a square and not a circle. Only choice C has an outer shape that is different than a square and a circle that has changed from light to dark. 16. Correct Answer: B In figuring out this questions, students need to put the words of the analogy into a sen- tence. This helps with determining the relationship. We could say, "Grass is a small part of a plain.” The only answer that also fulfills this relationship is option B, as we could say “sand is.Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 a small part of the beach.” Students may be tempted to choose water is to ocean; however, this question goes beyond a simple part to whole relationship. The key is that the first item in the analogy is a very small, individual component of a much larger whole. 17. Correct Answer: A The pattern in the first two boxes shows that the first number is multiplied by 2 to give the second number, and then the second number is multiplied by 4 to give the third number. In the first box 1x2=2 and 2x4=8. In the second box 2x2=4 and 4x4=16. Therefore, in the third box, 3x2=6 and 6x4=24, so the correct answer is A. 18, Correct Answer: B The correct answer to this question is choice B because you cannot eat a meal unless you have food to eat. The other answer options might be a part of the meal-eating experience, but they are not vital to what makes a meal. 19. Correct Answer: B Students can find this sentence by first grouping the words “Sarah found” and “the toy’s batteries.” Students can then figure out that the best place for the word “never” would be between “Sarah” and “found.” The sentence, once arranged, should therefore be “Sarah never found the toy’s batteries.” Therefore, “never” is the second word, so the answer is option B as “n” is the first letter of the second word. 20. Correct Answer: E In the top row, we can see that between the first two circles: a) the diagonal line changes direction (from upper-left to lower-right in the first circle, to lower-left to upper-right in the second circle) b) the small star changes position (from the top of the first circle to the bot- tom of the second circle) and c) the highlighting of the small star alternates (from light in the first circle to dark in the second circle). The third circle has all the traits of the previous two designs combined: two diagonal lines and two small stars. The highlighting again alternates from dark in the previous design to light. This pattern must be applied in the second row to find the second square. First of all, we eliminate choice C as it is a circle and nota square, We also eliminate choices A and B because the direction of the diagonal line does not change from the first design. Since the first square has a small dark arrow on the bottom, we need to find a square with a light arrow on top. Choices D and E both have a small arrow on top, but only in choice E does the arrow change to light. So, E is the correct answer, 21. Correct Answer: C The pattern in the first two boxes shows that the second number is calculated by multi- plying the first number by 4. In the first box 2x4=8. In the second box 3x4=12. You could also say that we can divide the second number by 4 to get the first number. In the first box 8/4=2. In the second box 12/4=3. Therefore, to get the missing number in the third box we can divide 20 by 4. Since 20/455, the correct answer is C, Origins PalAnswers Explanations Pract 22. Correct Answer: D This series is made up of alternating letters and two-digit numbers. The last number before the question mark is 17, which means that the missing term that follows must be a letter. the first two boxes shows that if we add 3 to the first number we get the pecond number, and if we add 3 to the second number we get the third number. In the first box 9+3=12 and 1243=15. In the second bor 743) . Therefore, which means the correct answer is B, 24. Correct Answer: C In order to answer this question, students must recognize that each of the words in the first ow starts with “ca.” If we apply this same rule to the second row, we know that each word 25. Correct Answer: D qhis question asks students for the antonym of clean. Students might be drawn to the an- wer ‘spotless’; however, ths is a synonym rather then an antonym of clean. Additionally, though something rusted or old might not be clean, there answer choices aren’t exactly the ppPresite of clean. The only true apposite in this question c ancaree choice D. 26. Correct Answer: E With this question, students must differentiate what could be true from what we know for certain is true, Based on the information provided, we know with certainty that Spencer has 3t least nine prizes because he has more prizes than Todd, who has eight total. The other answer options are assumptions that could be true but which aren’t necessarily. Breen papers as blue papers. need to figure out that they are deali four parts (3 Parts green, 1 part blue). We ki Stacy has 3 parts green, we can multiply 3 x answer.‘Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 28. Correct Answer: E There is no obvious algebraic relationship among the numbers of each row. Taking a look at the columns, we notice that in the second column the numbers are 14, 21, 28, which are all multiples of 7. Each of the numbers in the first column is one more than the num- ber that was multiplied by 7 in the second column. For example, 2x7 = 14 and the number next to 14 on the left is 3 which is 1 more than 2. Similarly, 3x7=21 and the number on its left is 4 which is one more than 3. Therefore, we understand that if we subtract 1 from the first number and then multiply the difference by 7, we will get the second number. ( (3-1) x7=14, (4-1)x7=21, (5-1)x7=28 ). Now that we have identified the rule between the first and second number in each row, we can determine whether a similar rule applies between the second and the third number, or maybe between the first and the third numbers. Looking at the third column we can see that if we subtract one from the first number and multiply the difference by 9, we will get the third number ( (3-1)x9=18 and (5-1)x9=36 ). So, if we apply this rule in the second row we will find the missing number: (4-1)x9=3x9=27. Therefore, the correct answer is E. 29. Correct Answer: C In figuring out the answer to this question, students have to arrange the words into a sen- tence first. The key is figuring out which word would make the best subject of the sentence. We is the only word that would work well as a subject. Once students have figured out this first word, they then have to ask themselves which word could possibly follow this sub- Ject, and they may recognize that it should be a verb. Therefore, the only option in terms of a second word is met. From there, students should be able to complete the sentence. itshould read, “We met in science class.” Since the third word is in, we know that answer choice Cis correct. 30. Correct Answer: D To figure out this sentence, students have to use context clues. The clue here is she usually dressed plainly. This should signal to us that, to fill in the blank, we need a word that is the opposite of plain. The best answer, then, is fancy. Students might be tempted to fill in the blank with unique or feminine; however, we once again have to go back to the key context clue. Neither of these words are really the opposite of plain. 31. Correct Answer: C In order to answer this question, we have to try and categorize the given answer choices. Each answer isa different type of tree, except for option C. Acorns come from trees but they aren't a type of tree themselves. 32. Correct Answer: C If we make pairs of numbers in this series, we will get four pairs (29 and 13, 27 and 13, ? and 13, and 23 and 13). The second number in each pair is always 13, and the first number in each pair is decreasing by 2 starting from 29. Since the missing number is the first number of the third pair, it must be 29-2-2=25. Therefore, the correct answer is C.Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 33. Correct Answer: C In this pattern matrix, we see a series of circles with a diagonal line through them with shaded arrows inside. The arrows are curved when they point to the left or right and straight when pointing up or down. Also, in each row, the arrow changes its pointing direction coun- terclockwise by 90 degrees. For example, in the first row it starts pointing to the right, then upwards and then to the left. Since the drawing in the third row before the question mark has its arrow pointing down, we know we are looking for a drawing with an arrow pointing to the right. Therefore, we can eliminate choice D which has an arrow pointing to the left. We can also eliminate choice E because although the arrow is pointing to the right, itis not Curved as it should be. Additionally, we can eliminate choice B because the arrow is drawn above the diagonal line of the circle instead of being behind it as in all drawings in the matrix. In order to choose among the remaining choices of A and C, students need to pay attention to the direction of the diagonal lines in the matrix. We see that when the arrow is pointing to the right, the diagonal has an upper-left to bottom-right direction. When the arrow is pointing to the left, the diagonal has an upper-right to bottom-left direction. Since we are also looking for a right pointing arrow, the direction of the diagonal must have an upper-left to bottom-right direction. Thus, the correct answer is C. 34. Correct Answer: D in this number matrix, we need to identify the relationship between the two pairs of num- bers and the series of four numbers. In the first row, we can see that the four number series is created by switching the numbers in the first pair to get the first and third number in the series of four numbers. The second and the fourth number in the series of four numbers are the second pair of numbers in their original order. The same pattern must be applied to the second row. The second and the fourth numbers in the four number series are 4 and 9, which is the pair of numbers we are looking for. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 35. Correct Answer: D In the first pair of this figural analogy, we can see that the shape of the two combined trian- gles remains the same and the small circle inside stays in the same position but alternates from light to dark. A similar pattern must be applied to the second pair. The overall shape, which is a square with a vertical line, must remain the same. Choices B and E are eliminated as they are squares with horizontal lines. The triangle must be in the same position on the right but change from dark to light. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer. 36. Correct Answer: C To answer this question, we must first figure out that 3x7=21. Then, we know that 21-5-16. 37. Correct Answer: D As with all analogies, itis helpful to put the words into a sentence to discern their relation- ship. We could say, “coffee is a type of beverage.” Our next step would be to say, “pie is a type of .” Based on this, the only answer that works is dessert. Origins Publications © =Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 38. Correct Answer: B In this series of numbers and letters each letter is followed by a pair of numbers, The letter E is followed by the pair 7 2, the letter G is followed by the pair 12 5, etc. Since we are looking for what follows the letter K, we understand that this should be the first number of the pair of numbers. Choice A can be eliminated as it isa letter rather than a number, In order to find what number goes where the question mark is, we need to reveal the relationship between the numbers and the letters. Exploring the triple E 7 2, we observe that the difference between the numbers is 7-2-5, and E is the 5" letter of the alphabet. Moving to the triple G 12 5, we also see that the difference is 12-5=7 and Gis the 7" letter of the alphabet. The Pattern continues for the group ! 19 10, where 19-10=9 and lis the 9" letter of the alpha- bet . Therefore, since K is the 11" letter of the alphabet, the number that follows it must, be 11 greater than 16. Therefore, the missing number is 27 since 27-16=11 and K is the 11" letter of the alphabet. The correct answer is B. 39. Correct Answer: E The pattern in the first row of the box shows that we are adding 13 as we move from left to Fight (5+13=18 and 18+13=31), The same rule applies on the first two numbers in the sec- ond row (11+13=24). Therefore, since 13+24=37, the correct answer is E. 40. Correct Answer: A ‘To figure out the answer to this question, students have to discover the pattern of the words in the box. Looking at the top row, we have the word eat in the first column, This serves as 2 base word in the pattern. The next word adds and a “b” to the beginning to get “beat.” The third word adds an “s” to the base word to get “seat.” We know then that, in the second row, we must follow the same pattern. So if ate is the base word, we need to add a “b” in the second column to get “bate.” Since the third column also adds an “s” to the base word to get sate, we know the second row is adding the same letters to the base word as the first row. Option D may be a tempting answer, but it is not correct because the added letter must bea “b.” 41. Correct Answer: B Each drawing in this pattern matrix is comprised of a hexagon with two diagonals and a small circle. In each row, as we progress from left to right, the small circle moves in a down- ward vertical direction. In the first row, it starts from outside of the hexagon, then moves down to the top of the hexagon, and then moves down again so that itis inside the upper triangle of the hexagon. In the second row, the small circle again moves downward from the top of the hexagon so that it is inside the upper triangle of the hexagon, and then moves down again so that it is at the center of the hexagon. At the same time, the circle alternates between light and dark as we go through the drawings in each row. The circle in the drawing in the third row before the question mark is located at the center of the hexagon. If it moves down, it will be inside the lower triangle of the hexagon. We also know that the next figure will have a light circle. We can eliminate choices C and D as they have dark circles. We can also eliminate choice E because the circle moved down too far, and choice A because the Circle did not move. The only drawing with a light circle inside the hexagon at the bottom is B. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Origins Publications ©Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 42. Correct Answer: C This question requires students to choose only the answer choice that provides information about something we know for certain. Based on the information provided in the question, we know that Mrs. Smith assigned homework on four days—Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. We also know that Mr. Carter assigned homework a maximum of three days, but we don’t know which days for sure. We know that Ms. Davis may have assigned as many as ‘two days of homework, but we don’t know how many exactly or if she assigned homework at all. The only answer option was can say is true for certain is choice C. 43. Correct Answer: E The pattern, moving from left to right, isto alternate addition of 11 and subtraction of 4 as shown below: 7 (+41) 18 (-4) 14 (+11) 25 (-4) 21 (+11) 32 Since 32-4=28, we can identify the correct answer as E. 44. Correct Answer: C The first pair of this figural analogy has three circles inside the triangle for the first drawing and then three circles aligned horizontally in the second drawing. In the second drawing two of the circles have been move outside the triangle. Since the same pattern must be applied to the second pair of drawings, we need to find a drawing of a circle with three triangles aligned horizontally that has two of the triangles outside the circle and one triangle inside the circle. Choice D is eliminated because there are circles outside the circle rather than tri- angles. Choice E is eliminated because the triangle inside the circle has been rotated by 180 degrees. Choice A is eliminated because the triangles outside the circle are not the same as the one inside. Choice B is eliminated because the two triangles are partially inside the circle instead of being totally outside. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 45. Correct Answer: B In figuring out the opposite of the word “hot”, students have to keep in mind the difference between something that is hot versus merely warm. Hot is more of an extreme, so the an- swer is cold rather than cool. Though snow is cold, itisn’t an exact opposite of hot. Fire and warm are related to the word hot, however, neither is the opposite of “hot”. 46. Correct Answer: C Students must figure out that this question is dealing with a total of five parts: 4 parts fiction books and 1 part nonfiction books. If we divide 60 books by 5 parts, we get 12. So, if Mad- ison has 4 times as many fiction books as nonfiction books, we know she has 12 nonfiction: books and 48 fiction books. 47. Correct Answer: A To answer this question, we first have to arrange the sentence. The best completed sen- tence in this question would read, “The party will be at Timothy's house.” Based on this completed sentence, the first word is the. Therefore, since this starts with a “t,” the correct answer is A.‘Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 48. Correct Answer: E Each figure in the first row of this pattern matrix is comprised of a specific number of thin bars that are crossed by a diagonal with a direction from bottom-left to upper-right. As we move from left to right the bars increase by one, alternate between light and dark, and alternate their direction between horizontal and vertical. Since the second drawing of the second row has four light vertical bars, students need to look for a shape with five dark horizontal bars. Choice A can be eliminated because it has four bars. Choice C and D can be. eliminated because they have light bars. Choice B can also be eliminated because, although it has five highlighted and horizontal bars, the diagonal line that crosses the bars goes from up-left to bottom-right instead of up-right to bottom-left as is the case in all drawings. ‘Therefore, the correct answer is E. 49. Correct Answer: D In order to read a book, you must read words. While a teacher, pictures, story, or other peo- ple might be part of the reading experience, they are not required to read a book. 50. Correct Answer: E In this series, each drawing is comprised of an outer shape that is filled with a group of identical smaller shapes. The outer shape alternates between a square and a hexagon. The number of the smaller inner shapes decreases by 1 as we move from left to right. The inner shapes also alternate between dark and light. The inner shape is never repeated between designs. Since the outer shape in the fourth drawing is a hexagon, we expect that the outer shape of the next drawing will be a square, so choice A is eliminated. As there are two stars, inside the fourth drawing of the series we know that the missing drawing will have only one shape inside, so choice D can be eliminated. As the two stars inside the fourth drawing are light, we know that the drawing we are looking for will have one dark inner shape so choice Ccan be eliminated. Finally, choice B can also be eliminated, because the dark shape inside the square is a diamond, which was already used in the third drawing. Therefore, the correct answer is E 51. Correct Answer: A The pattern in the first row of the box shows that we are adding 3 as we move from left to right (9+3=12 and 12+3=15). The same rule applies on the first two numbers in the second row as 11+3=14, Therefore, since 14+3=17, the correct answer is A. 52. Correct Answer: B The main shape in this series is a pentagon that alternates between light and dark. Moving from left to right, one small circle is added to a vertex outside the pentagon starting at the top and moving in a clockwise direction. The small circles also alternate between light to dark as they are added, and their shading is reversed between drawings. The fifth drawing must have a dark pentagon, which eliminates choice C. An additional small circle at the low- er-left vertex of the pentagon should be included in the fifth design, which eliminates choice E. The existing circles should be shaded the opposite of the fourth drawing, which eliminates choices A and D Therefore, the correct answer is B. vigins PublicaAnswers Explanations Practice Test 2 ae aeons Greece 53. Correct Answer: B Since Lori fired employees, we can assume she didn’t have enough people to work on the Project, We can assume, then, that she might postpone, or put off, working on the project Until she hires more people. 54. Correct Answer: D an be eliminated as the outer shapes are triangles and not squares. Choice E can be eliminated because, although it is a square which includes a triangle, the vertical line is not a line of the triangle but of the square. Choice B can also be climinated because, again, although we have a square which includes » triangle, the vertical line that is drawn is not a line of the triangle as it starts from the triangle’s vertex but ends at the side of the square. Therefore, the correct choice is b 58. Correct Answer: ¢ Mranith other inference questions, the key here is finding the answer that we know is true without any qualifications. We know that Larry has 12 apps; some are games, some educa- fional and some are for the news. Only 3 apps are games, so we knowoter there are 9 apps teft Of those 9 apps, some are educational and some are for the news, Sree 9 cannot be divided evenly by the two types of apps, we know for certain there is rox ny even number of educational and news apps. each box, the first number is multiplied by 7 to get the second number 21). Multiplying the first number of the third box, by 7 we get 4x7=28. The correct answer is B. 57. Correct Answer: D To answer this question, we have to find the pattern in the first row. Each of these words starts with the same letter—“s”— and ends with the same letter—"g.” Additionally, each word has one more letter than the word before; the first word has three letters, the sec- ond has four letters, and the final word has five letters. We know that the second row must follow the same pattern. We know that it must start with a “b,” end with a “t” and be five letters in length. The only word that fulfill all of these criteria is “blurt” 58. Correct Answer: B The key here is the word played, A piano can only be played using fingers. Though a piano is often played with music sheets or in a musical composition suggestive of a song, someone could very well play the keys of a piano without forming a song.Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 59. Correct Answer: E In this pattern matrix, we have two missing numbers in two different rows. In the first row we can see that if we multiply the first number by 6 we get the second number (3x6=18), and if we divide the second number by 2 we get the third number (18/2=9). To determine if this is the pattern for the other rows, we move on by checking the rule partially. Dividing the last two numbers of the second row (36/2=18) shows that the second part of the rule is val- id. Multiplying the first number of the third row by 6, we get the second number (7x6=42), Therefore, the pattern that we identified in the first row is also valid for the other two rows. {In order to find the first number of the second row, we will divide the second number by 6 (36/6-6). In order to find the third number of the third row, we will divide the second num- ber by 2 (42/2=21). Therefore, the correct answer is E. 60. Correct Answer: D In the first drawing on the left of this figural analogy, we have a hexagon as the outermost shape, a triangle as the middle shape, and a circle as the innermost shape. This drawing is paired with the drawing where the innermost circle has moved outside the shape, and the remaining two shapes (the hexagon and the triangle) have switched their positions. In addition, all three shapes reversed their shading. In the second pair the innermost square must move outside the shape and change from dark to light. Choice 8 is eliminated because the square is light and choice € is eliminated because a circle was moved outside the shape. Now, the diamond and the circle must switch places and reverse their shading. Choice A is eliminated because the circle and the diamond are both dark. Choice C is eliminated be- cause the there is a pentagon inside the circle instead of a diamond. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer. 61. Correct Answer: E In this series, the number of shaded diamonds increases by 2 as we progress form left to right. The shaded diamonds also alternate their direction from vertical to horizontal. Ad- ditionally, when aligned vertically, the shaded diamonds are on the left side of the grid and when aligned horizontally they are on the top part of the grid. Since the fourth drawing has 8 shaded diamonds aligned horizontally, we expect that the missing drawing will have 10 shaded diamonds aligned vertically. Choice B is eliminated because the 10 shaded dia- monds are aligned horizontally. Neither choice A or C has 10 shaded diamonds, so they are eliminated. Choices D and E both have 10 shaded diamonds aligned vertically, but in choice D, the shading is along the right side of the grid, so choice D is eliminated. Choice E is the correct answer. 62. Correct Answer: E While each of these words has to do with math, fractions are not a process in the same way that addition, subtraction, multiplication, and n are. 63. Correct Answer: A |n order to answer this question, we must figure out that 6 x8 = 48. Then, 48 +4 = 52, Origins Publications ©Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 64, Correct Answer: E In this series, each drawing is either an outer circle containing a smaller circle with an arrow: attached, or an outer square containing a smaller square with an arrow attached, The drav. ings alternate between circles and squares. Since the fourth drawing isa square we expect that the missing drawing will be a circle, so choice C is eliminated. Choice B is also eliminat- ed because it is a circle with a square inside instead of a circle. The arrows between the two, Circles drawings rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees, so the next position should be at the bottom-right side of the circle. Choice A and D are eliminated because the arrows did not rotate 90 degrees. The correct answer is E. 65. Correct Answer: E This question requires students to figure out the nuances among these words. Jump, ounce, leap, and spring are all synonyms. However, the word skip is slightly different be- cause it has to do with bouncing back and forth from one foot to another. So, while it is similar, it is not an exact synonym for the other words. 66. Correct Answer: In the first row of this matrix, as we move from left to right, students need to notice that ini- Bally there is a diagonal in the square from the lower-left to the upper-right. Then a diagonal from the upper-left to the lower-right is added. Finally, the bottom-right part ofthis diagonal is cut and placed next to the top side of the square. This pattern must be applied to the see- ond row too, where we have a triangle which initially has a right to left diagonal segment in. side and then it also gets a left to right diagonal segment which intersects with the first one, Therefore, the third drawing must be a triangle with the bottom right piece of the diagonal segment transferred next to the top side of the triangle. Choice D is eliminated because it is 2 square. Choice B is eliminated because no piece of either diagonal segment has been cut. Choice C is eliminated because both the bottom parts of the two diagonal segments have been removed. Choice E is eliminated because the bottom left piece of a diagonal segment has been cut and transferred instead of the bottom right segment of the other diagonal. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 67. Correct Answer: D ). In the second box, if we add 5 to the first number we will get the second number (4+5=9). There- fore, the pattern in the first two boxes shows that the number that is added to the first num- ber of each box increases by 1 as we move from left to right. So, in order to find the second number in the third box, we need to add 6 to the first number. Since 6+6=12, the correct answer is D. 68. Correct Answer: C If enter means to “go in,” then we need a word that means to “go out.” Therefore, exit is the best answer choice. Students might be distracted by in, entrance, or go but these are not the correct answers because they are closer to synonyms than antonyms. Additionally, finish is not correct as it has no real correlation to enter.Answers Explanations Practice Test 2 69. Correct Answer: A {he Pattern in the first two boxes shows that the second number is obtained by dividing the first number by 4 (12/4=3 and 20/4=5). Therefore, if we divide 32 by 4 we will get the miss. ing number. Since 32/4=8, the correct answer is A. 70. Correct Answer: C The pattern in the first row of the box shows that we are subtracting 5 as we move from left ‘to right (23-5=18 and 18-5=13). The same rule applies on the first two numbers in the eec. ond row (19-5=14). Since 14-5=9, the correct answer is C. 71. Correct Answer: B In the first drawing on the left of this figural analogy, we have an unshaded hexagon with a shaded triangle inside. This drawing is paired with a drawing where the triangle has moved to the top outside of the hexagon and both shapes have reversed their shading. The same Pattern must be applied to the second pair, which means that we are looking for a shaded triangle with an unshaded diamond above its vertex on top. Choices C and E are eliminated because the base figure is not a triangle. Choice A is eliminated because the triangle is not shaded. Choice D is eliminated because the shape above the triangle’s vertex at the topisa Pentagon and not a diamond. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 72. Correct Answer: E The pattern in this matrix is that we divide each number by 4 to find the next one in the same row (32/4=8 and 8/4=2 for the first row and 48/4=12 for the second row). To find the missing number we divide 12 by 4, which equals 3. The correct answer is E.
