- B.
Dan, Jerome, William
- C.
Dan, Kate, Tommy

Question: If Jerome and Mary are together in one of the canoes, each of the following could be a list of the people together in another canoe, except
- A.
Dan, Ellen, Susan
- B.
Ellen, Robert, Tommy
- C.
Ellen, Susan, William
- D.
Ellen, Tommy, William
Correct Answer
B. Ellen, Robert, TommyExplanation
The list of people together in another canoe that could not be possible is "Ellen, Tommy, William". This is because in the given question, it is stated that Jerome and Mary are together in one of the canoes. Since Ellen is already mentioned in this list, she cannot be in the same canoe as Tommy and William, as it would violate the condition that Jerome and Mary are together. Therefore, "Ellen, Tommy, William" is the incorrect option.Rate this question:

Question: If each of the Henderson children rides in a different canoe, which of the following must be true? I. The Penick children do not ride together. II. The Penick parents do not ride together. III. The Henderson parents do not ride together.
- A.
I only
- B.
II only
- C.
I & II only
- D.
I & III only
Correct Answer
A. I onlyExplanation
The correct answer is "I only". This means that only statement I must be true. Statement I states that the Penick children do not ride together. Since each of the Henderson children rides in a different canoe, it is implied that the Penick children are not riding together. However, statements II and III do not necessarily have to be true.Rate this question:

Question: On one of the days of the trip, while the canoeists go over rapids, Jerome chooses to go hiking with two of the children rather than canoeing, and there are six people in the canoes two in each canoe. If the other conditions still hold for the canoeists, which of the following could be a list of the children in the canoe?
- A.
Dan, Kate, Susan
- B.
Dan, Kate, William
- C.
Dan, Tommy, William
- D.
Dan, William, Susan
Correct Answer
A. Dan, Kate, SusanExplanation
Jerome chooses to go hiking with two of the children rather than canoeing, so he is not in the canoe. It is mentioned that there are six people in the canoes, with two in each canoe. Therefore, there must be a total of three canoes. Looking at the options, the only list of children that includes three names is Dan, Kate, Susan. Hence, this could be a possible list of children in the canoe.Rate this question:

Directions for questions 6 to 10: Each question or group of questions is based on a passage or set of conditions. In answering some of the questions, it may be useful to draw a rough diagram. For each question, select the best answer choice given. A combination of three fabrics is chosen to decorate a room. The fabrics must be chosen from a group of seven fabrics – F, G, H, J, K, L, and M – according to the following conditions: (1) If F or G is chosen, the other must also be chosen (2) H and J cannot be chosen together (3) Either H or F or both must be chosen Question: Which of the following combinations of fabrics conform to the conditions?
- A.
F, H, J
- B.
H, K, M
- C.
G, H, M
- D.
H, J, L
Correct Answer
B. H, K, MExplanation
According to condition (1), if F or G is chosen, the other must also be chosen. Since F is not in the combination, G cannot be chosen. According to condition (2), H and J cannot be chosen together. Since J is not in the combination, H can be chosen. According to condition (3), either H or F or both must be chosen. Since H is in the combination, it satisfies this condition. Therefore, the combination H, K, M conforms to all the given conditions.Rate this question:

However, since the question asks for the number of fabrics that could possibly be the third fabric chosen, we need to consider the fabrics that have not been chosen yet. Out of the remaining fabrics, only two fabrics (C and D) could possibly be the third fabric chosen, as fabrics A and B have not been chosen yet. Therefore, the answer is 2.Rate this question:

Directions for questions 14 and 15: Refer to the data below and answer the questions that follow. The Apollo Theatre showed six movies during a six-day period that began on Sunday and ended the following Friday. The movies shown, not necessarily in this order, were a musical, a comedy, a Western, a science fiction film, a horror film, and a disaster film. There was only one showing of only one movie each day. During this six-day period, each of five paying movie reviewers N, O, P, Q, and R attended all the showings with the following exceptions:
- There was no day of the week on which both P and Q went to the movie.
- On Wednesday and Friday, N did go to the movies.
- O never went to science fiction or horror films.

A musical
- B.
A comedy
- C.
A science fiction film
- D.
A horror film
Correct Answer
A. A musicalExplanation
The movie that would have brought in the least revenue from the five reviewers if shown on Monday is a musical. This is because R never went to musicals, so R would not have attended the showing of the musical on Monday. Therefore, the revenue from R would not be included if a musical was shown on Monday, resulting in the least revenue from the five reviewers.Rate this question:
- 15.
