B

The correct answer is B) Short and dark with a big mustache and big hands.

The passage explicitly describes Jim Gilmore as "short and dark" and mentions his "big mustaches and big hands". This description matches option B.

✅

Let's analyze the statements:

1. "All employees of Duluth Paper received a bonus this year"
2. "Andrés did not receive a bonus this year"

From statement 1, we know that all employees of Duluth Paper received a bonus.
From statement 2, we know that Andrés did not receive a bonus.

If Andrés did not receive a bonus, and all employees of Duluth Paper received a bonus, then Andrés must not be an employee of Duluth Paper.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C

✅

Let's start by analyzing the problem. We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Since the length is four times the width, we can write an equation:

l = 4w

We are also given that the perimeter is 60 feet. Substituting this value into the perimeter formula, we get:

60 = 2l + 2w

Now, substitute l = 4w into the equation above:

60 = 2(4w) + 2w
60 = 8w + 2w
60 = 10w

Divide both sides by 10 to solve for w:

w = 60/10
w = 6

So, the width of the garden is 6 feet.

Answer: 6

The correct answer is B) Juxtapose two peoples' sentiments.

Paragraphs 2 and 3 describe Liz Coates' feelings towards Jim Gilmore, which are romantic in nature. This is juxtaposed with the description of Jim's neutral or non-romantic thoughts about Liz in paragraph 1. The passage highlights the difference in their sentiments towards each other, showcasing Liz's growing attraction to Jim while Jim remains oblivious to her feelings.

B

✅

The correct answer is D) the arrangement of her hair.

In the passage, it is stated that "He liked her face because it was so jolly but he never thought about her." This sentence implies that Jim has noticed Liz's face and finds it pleasing, but he doesn't dwell on it or think deeply about her. Later, it is mentioned that "Jim noticed that her hair was always neat behind." This detail suggests that Jim has observed Liz's appearance, specifically the tidiness of her hair, which indicates that he has taken notice of her.

D)

Let's break down the information step by step:

From statement 1, we know the person in Britain has the broken sword.

From statement 2, we know the son is not in Denmark and doesn't have the gold doubloon or silver watch. This means the son must be in one of the remaining countries: Mexico, Canada, or Egypt.

From statement 3, we know the family member in Egypt has the family tree. Since the son can't be in Egypt (because he's not in Denmark), it must be someone else in Egypt.

From statement 4, we know the mother has the silver watch but isn't in Mexico. This means the mother is in one of the remaining countries: Britain, Canada, or Denmark.

From statement 5, we know the grandmother has the gold doubloon and is either in Denmark or Canada.

Now, let's consider the daughter having the oceanic map. Since the son can't be in Denmark (from statement 2), the grandmother must be in Canada (from statement 5). This means the mother is in Britain (because she can't be in Mexico) and has the silver watch.

The only country left for the daughter is Mexico, which means:

The daughter with the oceanic map is located in **Mexico**.

Let's break down the information step by step:

From statement 5, we know the Grandmother has the gold doubloon and is either in Denmark or Canada.

If the Grandmother is in Denmark (as assumed), then from statement 2, we know the son is not in Denmark. From statement 3, we know the family member in Egypt has the family tree, so it can't be the son. Therefore, the son must be in one of the remaining countries: Mexico, Britain, or Canada.

From statement 4, we know the Mother has the silver watch but isn't in Mexico. Since the Grandmother is in Denmark, the only remaining country for the Mother is Canada.

So, if the Grandmother is in Denmark, the Mother must be in Canada.

Let's break down the problem step by step!

Let the 7th student's class rank be 7. Since they wrote 20 verses, we can set up an equation based on the given information:

Number of verses = n + (2 × Class rank)
⇒ 20 = n + (2 × 7)

Now, let's simplify the equation:

20 = n + 14
Subtract 14 from both sides:
20 - 14 = n
6 = n

So, the value of n is:

n = 6

✅

Let's break down the operation ◘ and apply it to the given values.

The operation is defined as x ◘ y = 2x - 3y + 1. We are asked to find the value of 4 ◘ 3, so we'll substitute x = 4 and y = 3 into the equation.

4 ◘ 3 = 2(4) - 3(3) + 1

= 8 - 9 + 1

= -1 + 1

= 0

So, the value of 4 ◘ 3 is:

0

✅

Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. We know John wants to travel 60 miles.
2. He will be driving at a steady speed of 30 mph (miles per hour).
3. To find the time it takes him to reach the park, we can use the formula: Time = Distance / Speed.

Plugging in the values, we get:

Time = 60 miles / 30 mph

To solve for Time, we can divide 60 by 30:

Time = 2 hours

So, it will take John 2 hours to reach the park.

Answer: **2 hours**

Let's analyze the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake."

This statement implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, then they can bake. It does not imply anything about people who are not Lisa's sisters.

Now, let's examine the options:

(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This option is a logical conclusion from the original statement. If all of Lisa's sisters can bake, and Jane cannot bake, then Jane must not be Lisa's sister.

(B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This option is incorrect. The original statement only implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, they can bake. It does not imply that anyone who can bake is Lisa's sister.

(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister: This option is also incorrect for the same reason as (B).

(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake: This option is incorrect because the original statement only talks about Lisa's sisters, it does not imply anything about people who are not Lisa's sisters.

(E) None of these: Since option (A) is a logical conclusion from the original statement, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

(A)

Let's break down the given statements:

1. "All members of the chess team are also members of the robotics club."
This means that if someone is on the chess team, they must also be in the robotics club.

2. "No members of the basketball team are members of the chess team."
This means that there is no overlap between the basketball team and the chess team.

Now, let's analyze each option:

(A) If Izak is in the robotics club, then he is not on the basketball team: This could be true, but we can't conclude it from the given statements. There might be someone who is only in the robotics club, not in the chess team or basketball team.

(B) If Jerry is in the robotics club, then he is on the chess team: This is not necessarily true. According to statement 1, all members of the chess team are also in the robotics club, but it doesn't guarantee that everyone in the robotics club is on the chess team.

(C) If Lisa is on the basketball team, then she is not in the robotics club: This must be true. Since there's no overlap between the basketball team and the chess team (statement 2), and all members of the chess team are also in the robotics club (statement 1), Lisa can't be in both the basketball team and the robotics club.

(D) If Sanjit is on the chess team, then he is on the basketball team: This is not true. Statement 2 explicitly says that there's no overlap between the basketball team and the chess team.

(E) If Seong-Jin is not in the robotics club, then he is not on the chess team: This must be true. Since all members of the chess team are also in the robotics club (statement 1), if someone is not in the robotics club, they can't be on the chess team.

So, the correct answer is:

C

Let's analyze the problem step by step:

* The integer has exactly one duplicate digit, which means that two digits are the same, but not all three.
* The duplicate digit is in the hundreds' place and the ones' place, so we can focus on these two places.
* Since the integer is greater than 99 and less than 200, the hundreds' place must be either 1 or 2 (because 3 would make the number greater than or equal to 300).
* For each possible value of the hundreds' place, we can count the number of possibilities for the ones' place that duplicate the digit.

Case 1: Hundreds' place is 1.
The ones' place can be 1 as well (e.g., 111), but then the tens' place must be different from 1. There are 9 possible values for the tens' place (0, 2, 3, ..., 9). So, there are 9 possibilities in this case.

Case 2: Hundreds' place is 2.
The ones' place can be 2 as well (e.g., 222), but then the tens' place must be different from 2. There are 9 possible values for the tens' place (0, 1, 3, ..., 9). So, there are 9 possibilities in this case.

In total, we have 9 + 9 = 18 integers greater than 99 and less than 200 with exactly one duplicate digit.


Answer: **18**
