The passage describes Jim Gilmore as "short and dark with big mustaches and big hands". Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Jim Gilmore's appearance is described as follows:
- Short in stature
- Dark complexion
- Big mustaches (plural, indicating a significant amount of facial hair)
- Big hands

The other options do not match this description:
- A) Tall and slender with a clean-shaven face does not match the description of Jim as short, dark, and having big mustaches.
- C) Blond and muscular with a prominent beard does not match the description of Jim as short, dark, and having big mustaches.
- D) Average height with a slight build and neatly combed hair does not match the description of Jim as short, dark, and having big mustaches.

So, the correct answer is B) Short and dark with a big mustache and big hands.

✅

Given that all employees of Duluth Paper received a bonus this year, and Andrés did not receive a bonus this year, we can infer that Andrés is not an employee of Duluth Paper. Therefore, the statement that must also be true is:

C) Andrés was not an employee of Duluth Paper this year

Final answer: C

Let's denote the width of the garden as \( w \) feet. According to the problem, the length of the garden is four times its width, so the length is \( 4w \) feet.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:
\[ P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width}) \]

Given that the perimeter \( P \) is 60 feet, we can set up the equation:
\[ 60 = 2(4w + w) \]

Now, let's solve for \( w \):
\[ 60 = 2(5w) \]
\[ 60 = 10w \]
\[ w = \frac{60}{10} \]
\[ w = 6 \]

So, the width of the garden is 6 feet.

Final answer: The width of the garden is 6 feet.

The author includes the detail that "Jim noticed that her hair was always neat behind" to show that Jim has noticed Liz Coates. This is the only detail in the passage that directly mentions Jim observing a specific aspect of Liz's appearance, indicating that he has taken notice of her. The other options (A, B, and C) are either not directly linked to Jim or are Jim's thoughts or feelings about Liz, not his actions or observations.

Answer: D

The author's repetitive use of "She liked it" emphasizes the **intensity** of Liz's feelings for Jim, highlighting her growing affection and infatuation with him. This is option C: "persistence of an outward expression of love".

Final answer: C

The correct answer is B) Juxtapose two peoples' sentiments. Paragraph 2 describes Jim's perspective and feelings towards Liz, while paragraph 3 reveals Liz's perspective and feelings towards Jim. The two paragraphs contrast Jim's lack of awareness and indifference towards Liz with Liz's admiration and affection for Jim, thus demonstrating a juxtaposition of sentiments between the two characters.

Let's analyze each statement:

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 look at the options:

(A) Izak being in the robotics club doesn't tell us anything about the basketball team, so this isn't necessarily true.

(B) If Jerry is in the robotics club, he could be on the chess team (since all chess team members are also in the robotics club), so this is true.

(C) Lisa being on the basketball team doesn't tell us anything about the robotics club, so this isn't necessarily true.

(D) Sanjit being on the chess team doesn't tell us anything about the basketball team, so this isn't necessarily true.

(E) Seong-Jin not being in the robotics club means he can't be on the chess team (since all chess team members are in the robotics club), so this is true.

Therefore, the correct answer is (E) If Seong-Jin is not in the robotics club, then he is not on the chess team.

A

Given the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," we can infer that any individual who is Lisa's sister must have the ability to bake. Therefore, we can eliminate options (A) and (B) because they suggest that a sister who cannot bake or who can bake is not a sister, which contradicts the given statement.

Now, let's consider options (C) and (D):

(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This is a valid conclusion because the statement does not rule out the possibility that Mary is Lisa's sister and can bake.

(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This is not necessarily true. The statement only applies to Lisa's sisters, so if Emma is not a sister, the statement does not apply to her, and we cannot conclude that she cannot bake.

Therefore, the correct answer is (C).

Final answer: (C)

Let's reason through this step-by-step:

1. From statement 1, we know the person in Britain has the broken sword. Since the mother has the silver watch (statement 4), she cannot be in Britain. Therefore, the person in Britain must be the father.

2. Since the father is in Britain (statement 1), the grandmother cannot be in Denmark (statement 5), so she must be in Canada. This means the son cannot be in Canada (statement 2), so he must be in Mexico.

3. Now we know the son is in Mexico, and the grandmother is in Canada. This leaves Denmark for the daughter.

4. We know the daughter has the oceanic map. Since the daughter is in Denmark, she must be the one with the oceanic map.

So, the daughter is located in Denmark.

Final answer: The daughter is in Denmark.

✅

Let's reason through this step-by-step:

1. We know the grandmother is in Denmark (from statement 5).
2. The son is not in Denmark (from statement 2), so he must be in one of the other countries: Mexico, Canada, or Egypt.
3. The mother has the silver watch (from statement 4), and the son does not have it (from statement 2), so the son cannot be in Canada, as that's where the grandmother is (from step 1).
4. Therefore, the son must be in Mexico or Egypt.
5. However, if the son were in Egypt, that would leave only Britain and Canada for the mother, and we know she's not in Mexico (from statement 4). But this would leave no country for the daughter, which is impossible.
6. So, the son must be in Mexico, and the mother must be in Canada.

Final answer: The Mother is in Canada.

Let's break down the information given:

1. Each student writes n verses.
2. Each student also writes twice as many verses as their class rank.
3. The 7th student wrote 20 verses.

We can set up an equation to represent this situation. Let's use r to represent the number of verses a student writes based on their class rank (which is twice their rank). So, if the student is in the 7th position, their rank is 7, and they write 2r verses.

The total number of verses the 7th student wrote is the sum of the fixed number of verses (n) and twice their rank (2r):
n + 2r = 20

Since the 7th student's rank is 7, we can substitute 7 for r:
n + 2(7) = 20
n + 14 = 20

Now, we can solve for n:
n = 20 - 14
n = 6

So, the value of n is 6.

Final answer: n = 6

To find the value of 4 ◘ 3, we need to apply the definition of the operation ◘:

4 ◘ 3 = 2(4) - 3(3) + 1
       = 8 - 9 + 1
       = -1 + 1
       = 0

So, the value of 4 ◘ 3 is 0.

Analysis:

1. We know that John is traveling a distance of 60 miles at a constant speed of 30 miles per hour (mph).
2. To find the time it takes for John to reach the park, we can use the formula: Time = Distance / Speed.
3. Plugging in the values, we get: Time = 60 miles / 30 mph.

Calculation:

Time = 60 / 30 = 2 hours

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

To solve this problem, we'll consider the cases where the repeated digit is in the hundreds or tens place, and then find the number of valid integers for each case.

**Case 1: Repeated digit in the hundreds place**

- The hundreds place can be 1, 2, ..., 8 (9 is not allowed because it would make the number 999).
- The tens place can be any digit from 0 to 9, except for the digit in the hundreds place.
- The ones place must be the same as the hundreds place.

So for each valid hundreds digit, there are 9 possible tens digits and 1 possible ones digit. Thus, there are 8 * 9 * 1 = 72 integers for this case.

**Case 2: Repeated digit in the tens place**

- The tens place can be 1, 2, ..., 9.
- The hundreds place can be any digit from 0 to 9, except for the digit in the tens place.
- The ones place must be the same as the tens place.

So for each valid tens digit, there are 9 possible hundreds digits and 1 possible ones digit. Thus, there are 9 * 9 * 1 = 81 integers for this case.

Adding the integers from both cases, we get a total of 72 + 81 = 153 integers that have exactly one duplicate digit, are greater than 99, and less than 200.

The final answer is 153 integers.
