Here's how to solve the problem:

**1. Define Variables:**

* Let 'w' represent the width of the garden.
* Let 'l' represent the length of the garden.

**2. Set Up Equations:**

* We know l = 4w (the length is four times the width)
* We also know the perimeter is 60 feet: 2l + 2w = 60

**3. Substitute and Solve for 'w':**

* Substitute '4w' for 'l' in the perimeter equation: 2(4w) + 2w = 60
* Simplify: 8w + 2w = 60
* Combine like terms: 10w = 60
* Divide both sides by 10: w = 6


**Answer: 6 feet**

The author states that Jim noticed that Liz's hair was always neat behind. 

D 

The repetitive use of "She liked it" emphasizes the growing intensity of Liz's attraction to Jim, focusing on the details she finds appealing. This suggests a developing romantic interest rather than a simple friendship. 


C

✅

The passage focuses on contrasting the feelings Liz Coates has for Jim Gilmore compared to Jim's lack of awareness of Liz's feelings. 

**B) Juxtapose two peoples' sentiments** 

Here's the reasoning:

* **Statement 1:**  All chess team members are also in the robotics club.
* **Statement 2:** No basketball team members are on the chess team.

Combining these, we can conclude that there's no overlap between the basketball team and the robotics club.

**Therefore, the correct answer is (A).**  


A

Here's the breakdown:

* **We know:**
    * Britain: Broken sword
    * Egypt: Family tree
    * Son: Not in Denmark, doesn't have gold doubloon or silver watch
    * Mother: Silver watch, not in Mexico
    * Grandmother: Gold doubloon, in Denmark or Canada
    * Daughter: Oceanic map

* **Deductions:**
    * Since the mother isn't in Mexico, and the grandmother is either in Denmark or Canada, the mother must be in either Britain, Egypt, or  Canada.  
    * We know the son isn't in Denmark, leaving Canada as a possibility for both the grandmother and the mother. 

* **Conclusion:**
    *  The daughter must be in **Canada**. 




Canada 

✅

Here's the reasoning:

* We know the Grandmother has the gold doubloon and is in either Denmark or Canada.
*  We also know the Mother has the silver watch but isn't in Mexico. 
*  Combining these, the Mother cannot be in Denmark (since the Grandmother is there).

Therefore, the Mother must be in Canada.

Let's break down this problem step-by-step:

1. **Define the variables:**
   * Let 'n' represent the base number of verses each student is supposed to write.

2. **Set up the equation:**
   * The 7th student wrote 20 verses, which can be represented as: n + 2 * 7 = 20

3. **Solve for 'n':**
   * Simplify the equation: n + 14 = 20
   * Subtract 14 from both sides: n = 6 


n = 6

Let's break down the operation and apply it to our numbers:

1. **Understand the operation:**  We're given x ◘ y = 2x - 3y + 1. This means we need to substitute the values of x and y with 4 and 3, respectively.

2. **Substitute:**  
   x = 4 and y = 3, so we get: 4 ◘ 3 = (2 * 4) - (3 * 3) + 1

3. **Calculate:**
   4 ◘ 3 = 8 - 9 + 1

4. **Simplify:**
   4 ◘ 3 = 0

Here's how to solve this:

* **Analysis:**  We know the distance (60 miles) and the speed (30 mph). To find the time, we'll use the formula: time = distance / speed.

* **Calculation:** 
   time = 60 miles / 30 mph
   time = 2 hours


**Answer:** 2 hours 

A

He placed the hat on a square, declaring it a pawn.  

Here's how to solve the problem:

**Analysis:**

* We need to find three-digit numbers greater than 99 and less than 200 with one repeating digit.
* The hundreds digit must be the same as the units digit.
*  The tens digit can be any of the digits from 0 to 9.

**Listing Possibilities:**

Since the hundreds and units digits are the same, we can list the possibilities:

* 110, 111, 112, ..., 119
* 220, 221, 222, ..., 229
* 330, 331, 332, ..., 339
* ...
* 990, 991, 992, ..., 999

**Counting the Numbers:**

Notice that each list above contains ten numbers. There are ten such lists (from 110 to 990).


**Answer:** 10 

✅

Here's the reasoning:

* The first statement tells us *all* Duluth Paper employees received a bonus.
* The second statement says Andrés *did not* receive a bonus.

Therefore, Andrés cannot be an employee of Duluth Paper.

Here's the reasoning:

The original statement tells us that *all* of Lisa's sisters have the ability to bake.  

Let's look at the options:

* **(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister** - This is the correct answer. If someone can't bake and is Lisa's sister, it would violate the original statement that *all* of Lisa's sisters can bake.

The other options are not necessarily true:

* **(B)**  We don't know if Sarah is Lisa's sister.
* **(C)** We don't know if Mary is Lisa's sister.
* **(D)** Emma could be someone else's sister.
