See lessThe twins' heredity and upbringing were identical in nearly every respect, yet one child remained unfailingly sanguine even in times of stress while her sister was prone to angry outbursts that indicated an exceptionally choleric ____.
(E) temperament and (F) humor The main clues suggest that one twin is described as sanguine and the other as choleric, with phrases like "even in times of stress" and "angry outbursts" hinting at words used to describe personality. "Temperament" is a suitable synonym for personality. Although "humorRead more
(E) temperament and (F) humor
See lessThe main clues suggest that one twin is described as sanguine and the other as choleric, with phrases like “even in times of stress” and “angry outbursts” hinting at words used to describe personality. “Temperament” is a suitable synonym for personality. Although “humor” is often used to refer to comedy, it can also denote personality, especially when paired with words like sanguine and choleric, which stem from the ancient belief that temperament was influenced by levels of different bodily fluids or humors. The remaining choices—environment, disposition, and constitution—do not align with the clues provided. “Environment” pertains to one’s surroundings, while the other two words are related to the physical rather than the mental aspect. Therefore, “temperament” is the best fit in describing the twins’ personalities.
Possessed of an insatiable sweet tooth, Jim enjoyed all kinds of candy, but he had a special ____ for gumdrops, his absolute favorite.
(B) affinity and (F) predilection The word in the blank is used to describe Jim's feelings for gumdrops. The clues "enjoyed all kinds of candy" and "his absolute favorite" suggest that the blank signifies liking. Both "affinity" and "predilection" mean liking. "Odium" and "disregard" go in the wrongRead more
(B) affinity and (F) predilection
The word in the blank is used to describe Jim’s feelings for gumdrops. The clues “enjoyed all kinds of candy” and “his absolute favorite” suggest that the blank signifies liking. Both “affinity” and “predilection” mean liking. “Odium” and “disregard” go in the wrong direction, suggesting dislike. “Container” might sound plausible, but it is not related to the clue. “Nature” does not mean liking in this context. Therefore, “affinity” or “predilection” best fits the description of Jim’s feelings for gumdrops.
See lessUpon visiting the Middle East in 1850, Gustave Flaubert was so _____ belly dancing that he wrote, in a letter to his mother, that the dancers alone made his trip worthwhile.
(B) enamored by. Selecting the appropriate term is crucial here. The hint provided is "the dancers alone made his trip worthwhile," indicating Flaubert's admiration for them. "Enamored by" is the most suitable choice to convey such a sentiment. "Overwhelmed by" is excessive and implies Flaubert coulRead more
(B) enamored by.
See lessSelecting the appropriate term is crucial here. The hint provided is “the dancers alone made his trip worthwhile,” indicating Flaubert’s admiration for them. “Enamored by” is the most suitable choice to convey such a sentiment. “Overwhelmed by” is excessive and implies Flaubert couldn’t handle the experience. “Taken aback by” merely suggests surprise without specifying whether it was positive. On the other hand, “beseeched by” doesn’t reveal Flaubert’s feelings, and if he were flustered, he wouldn’t have found the encounter worthwhile. Therefore, “enamored by” best captures Flaubert’s sentiment towards the dancers.
At a recent dog show, there were 5 finalists. One of the finalists was awarded "Best in Show" and another finalist was awarded "Honorable Mention." In how many different ways could the two awards be given out?
In this problem order matters. Any of the 5 finalists could be awarded "Best in Show." There are 4 choices left for "Honorable Mention," because a different dog must be chosen. Therefore, the total number of possibilities is 5 x 4, or 20.

See lessEach month, Renaldo earns a commission of 10.5% of his total sales for the month, plus a salary of $2,500. If Renaldo earns $3,025 in a certain month, what were his total sales?
If Renaldo earned $3,025, then his earnings from the commission on his sales are $3,025 - $2,500 = $525. So, $525 is 10.5% of his sales. Set up an equation to find the total sales: 525 = 10.5x/100 Solving this equation, x = 5,000.

A certain pet store sells only dogs and cats. In March, the store sold twice as many dogs as cats. In April, the store sold twice the number of dogs that it sold in March, and three times the number of cats that it sold in March. If the total number of pets the store sold in March and April combined was 500, how many dogs did the store sell in March?
To approach this problem using the "Plug In the Answers" strategy, let's begin with the middle choice, (B). If there were 100 dogs sold in March, then according to the given ratio, 50 cats were sold in March as well. In April, if 200 dogs were sold, then 150 cats were sold. Adding up the totals: DogRead more
To approach this problem using the “Plug In the Answers” strategy, let’s begin with the middle choice, (B).
If there were 100 dogs sold in March, then according to the given ratio, 50 cats were sold in March as well. In April, if 200 dogs were sold, then 150 cats were sold.
Adding up the totals:
Dogs sold in March: 100
Cats sold in March: 50
Dogs sold in April: 200
Cats sold in April: 150
The total number of dogs and cats sold during these two months is 100+50+200+150=500100+50+200+150=500.
Since the sum is 500, which matches the required total, (B) is indeed the correct answer.
See lessThe average (arithmetic mean) high temperature for x days is 70 degrees. The addition of one day with a high temperature of 75 degrees increases the average to 71 degrees. Quantity A = x Quantity B = 5
Given that the average high temperature for x days is 70 degrees, the sum of those x high temperatures would be 70x. Adding the temperature of the additional day, which is 75 degrees, the total sum becomes 70x+75. To determine the value of xx, we can use the average formula: Average =Total / NumberRead more
Given that the average high temperature for x days is 70 degrees, the sum of those x high temperatures would be 70x. Adding the temperature of the additional day, which is 75 degrees, the total sum becomes 70x+75.
To determine the value of xx, we can use the average formula: Average =Total / Number of items. In this context, the average is 71, the total is 70x+75, and there are x+1 days in total.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get: 71=(70x+75)/(x+1)
To solve for xx, we cross-multiply to obtain 71x+71=70x+75. Simplifying this equation yields x=4.
Hence, Quantity B (5) is greater. The correct answer is (B).

Experiment with various integers for aa and bb that fulfill the equation a2=b3a2=b3, like choosing a=8a=8 and b=4b=4. These values satisfy the equation since 82=43=6482=43=64. In this instance, Quantity A is greater. As Quantity B isn’t always greater, nor are the two quantities consistently equal, options (B) and (C) can be disregarded. Now, attempt different numbers. For a second set of numbers, opt for something less conventional, such as setting a=b=1a=b=1. Once again, these numbers fulfill the equation presented in the problem. However, this time, the quantities are equal. Since Quantity A isn’t invariably greater, option (A) can now be eliminated. Thus, the correct answer is (D).
