Q16) C. 62.5%

Q17) C. delivered on

The man never delivered on the grandiose promises he had made. This means that he did not fulfill
the promises he had made.

Q18) C. 16

The club had 3 boys and 5 girls, a total of 3 + 5 = 8 members.

During the membership drive, the same number of boys and girls joined the club, so 8 + 8 = 16
members are now in the club.

The ratio of boys to girls is 3:4, so there are 3/7 * 16 = 6 boys in the club.

There are 4/7 * 16 = 10 girls in the club.

Therefore, the club has a total of 6 + 10 = 16 members.

So the answer is 16

Q19) C. 96

Let's first determine the total work that needs to be done. We know that 4 boys can do the job in 2
hours, so 1 boy can do the job in 4 * 2 = 8 hours.

Since there are 5 boys to do the job, each boy will take 8 / 5 = 1.6 hours to do the job.

We need to convert 1.6 hours to minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 1.6 hours is equal to 60
* 1.6 = 96 minutes.

Therefore, it will take 5 boys 96 minutes to shovel the driveway.

Q20. C Persist

A thunderstorm may persist, becoming even more severe, for as long as four hours.

Q21. B (57)

Biodegradable plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces when exposed to
sunlight. This process is called decomposition.

Q24. D (100)

Adil's average on 4 tests is 80, so he needs to score 84 x 5 - 80 x 4 = 420-320=100

on the 5th test to raise his average to 84.
