Solutions and Explanations
Verbal
1. The correct answer is flower.

A peach is a type of fruit like a lily is a type of flower.

2. The correct answer is pants.


Shirts, jackets, socks and pants are all articles of clothing.

3. The correct answer is damp, which means slightly wet.


Andrew put the shirt back in the clothes dryer because it was
still damp.

Quantitative
1. The answer is 22.
Look for the pattern in the first series of numbers.

The difference between 2 and 4 is +2.


The difference between 17 and 19 is also + 2.

The next series of numbers should follow the same pattern, meaning
that the difference between 20 and ? should be +2 as well: 20 + 2 =
22, meaning that the correct answer will be 22.

? = 22

2. The answer is 55.


Look for the pattern in the first series.
The difference between 10 and 7 is -3.
The difference between 26 and 23 is -3.

The next series of numbers should follow the same pattern, meaning
that the difference between 58 and ? should be -3 as well: 58 - 3 = 55,
meaning that the correct answer will be 55.

? = 55

3. The correct answer is 4.

In this series, every number is larger than the number before it by one-
half (0.5).

The pattern is: +0.5, +0.5, +0.5, ...

The last number in this series is 3.5, so the next number in the series
should be larger than 3.5 by 0.5.

3.5 + 0.5 = 4

Therefore, 4 is the correct answer.

4. The correct answer is 17.

The first thing to notice when solving this type of question is that
both sides of the equation must be equal. Since we are trying to solve
for the '?', we must get it by itself on one side of the equation. To do
this, we must subtract 9 from the right side of the equation, and since
both sides of the equation must be equal, we must also subtract 9
from the left side of the equation.

26 - 9 = ? + 9 - 9

On the right side of the equation, we have our '?' by itself. We now
have:

26 - 9 = ?
To solve for the '?', simply subtract 9 from 26. Be sure to line up the
numbers correctly to perform the subtraction:

1
2 16
- 9
17

This means that - ? = 17.

Non-verbal
1. The correct answer is C.

 First, the rectangular paper is folded in half lengthwise.


 Then, a small parallelogram is cut out of the folded paper.
 Consequently, the unfolded paper will have two parallelogram cut-
outs which eliminates answer choices A and B.
 Since the paper is folded lengthwise, the second parallelogram must
mirror horizontally the cut parallelogram which eliminates answer
choices D and E.

We are left with the answer C, which is the correct answer.

2. The correct answer is E.

All three arrows are the same size. Choices A, B, C and D are different
in their sizes than the three given arrows. In addition, the arrows are
rotating in a clockwise direction, so the missing arrow should be
rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the previous image, like in answer
E.

Hence, E is the correct answer.


3. The correct answer is B.

In the above analogy, the figure on the right is the inverse of the
figure on the left. The colors/shading of the outer shape switch with
the color/shading of the inner shape.

Thus, the answer must be a white triangle with a black arrow inside.
