    What disappears as soon as you say its name? - ProProfs

    What disappears as soon as you say its name?

    • Help!

    • Silence

    • Wait!

    • The cat

    Correct Answer
    A. Silence
    Explanation
    Silence disappears as soon as you say its name because by speaking or making any sound, you are breaking the absence of noise and creating sound, thus eliminating the state of silence.

    There are three sticks. Can you make four out of them without breaking any? - ProProfs

    There are three sticks. Can you make four out of them without breaking any?

    • No.

    • Maybe, but only by breaking one of them

    • Yes, by drawing the figure 4 with them.

    • You would need 2 more sticks to do that.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, by drawing the figure 4 with them.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Yes, by drawing the figure 4 with them." This answer suggests that by using the three sticks creatively, you can arrange them in a way that forms the shape of the number 4. This solution does not involve breaking any of the sticks or requiring additional sticks.

    • A painting 

    • A dream 

    • A map 

    • A globe

    Correct Answer
    A. A map 
    Explanation
    A map is a symbolic representation of an area, typically drawn on a flat surface. It can depict various features such as cities, forests, and bodies of water, but these are represented symbolically, not literally.

    What language do people speak without saying a word out loud? - ProProfs

    What language do people speak without saying a word out loud?

    • Gesturing.

    • Making a face.

    • Pointing fingers.

    • Jumping.

    Correct Answer
    A. Gesturing.
    Explanation
    Gesturing is a form of nonverbal communication where people use hand movements, body language, and facial expressions to convey their thoughts and feelings without speaking. Unlike making a face, pointing fingers, or jumping, gesturing involves using specific hand and body movements to communicate messages effectively. Therefore, gesturing is the correct answer as it accurately describes a language that people speak without saying a word out loud.

    • A hotdog

    • A lollipop

    • Yoghurt

    Correct Answer
    A. Corn on a cob
    Explanation

    • March

    • February

    • April

    • December

    I take what you receive and surrender it all by waving my flag. What am I? - ProProfs

    I take what you receive and surrender it all by waving my flag. What am I?

    • A mailbox

    • An email

    • A letter

    • An enveloppe

    Correct Answer
    A. A mailbox
    Explanation
    A mailbox is the correct answer because it is a receptacle where you receive letters and packages. The phrase "I take what you receive" suggests that the object is used to collect incoming mail. The phrase "surrender it all by waving my flag" refers to the flag on a mailbox that is raised to indicate outgoing mail. Therefore, a mailbox fits the description given in the question.

    What should you do when you see a green man? - ProProfs

    What should you do when you see a green man?

    • Put your hands on top of your head.

    • Raise your hand

    • Cross the road

    • Run!

    Correct Answer
    A. Cross the road
    Explanation
    When you see a green man, it is an indication that it is safe to cross the road. The green man signal typically appears at pedestrian crossings, indicating that vehicles have been stopped and pedestrians can proceed to cross the road. Therefore, the correct action to take when seeing a green man is to cross the road.

    How can you place a pencil on the floor so no one can see it? - ProProfs

    How can you place a pencil on the floor so no one can see it?

    • Put it vertically

    • Put it horizontally

    • Next to the wall

    • Have it face the light

    Correct Answer
    A. Next to the wall
    Explanation
    Placing the pencil next to the wall would hide it from view because the wall would act as a barrier, blocking the line of sight from certain angles. This would make it difficult for anyone to see the pencil unless they specifically looked for it from a different perspective.
