20. (C)
The number in the second column ends
with 936, while the numbers in the first and
third columns end with 396.
21. (D)
The steel bars that keep the concrete
road from cracking are reinforcing it.
22. (B)
The effect of recycling is to make greater
use of resources so we do not need to con-
stantly deplete fresh resources.
23. (C)
If consumers don't buy, the manufactur-
ers are stuck with excess stock.
24. (A)
Many considerations must enter into an
assessment of efficiency. Time, effort, energy,
and money are all factors.
25. (B)
The ability of people to adjust and adapt
to changing climates and to changing circum-
stances implies that human beings are capable
of varied responses and behaviors.
26. (C)
Flexible, the opposite of rigid or stiff,
means easily bent, adjustable, or pliable.
27. (B)
An option is a choice.
28. (C)
To verify is to check the accuracy of or to
confirm.
29. (B)
Previous means occurring before in time
or order, hence former.
30. (B)
Respiration is breathing.
31. (E)
The simplest general rule that guides
this question is that all the symbols are made
up of lines that touch each other. In the first set,
each of the symbols consists of three lines that
touch. The second set contains symbols con-
sisting of two lines that touch. Only choice (E)
fulfills this requirement.
32. (D)
The general rule governing this question
is that all symbols are made up to two figures,
one inside the other. The first set consists of a
closed figure inside the outer figure. In the
second set, there is a single line inside the outer
figure. Only choice (D) conforms to this rule.
Note that the shapes of the figures are irrel-
evant to the question.
33. (B)
The general rule is that all symbols are
made up of four lines. In the first set, all
symbols consist of both straight and curved
lines. In the second set, the symbols are made
up of straight lines only. Of the choices, only
(B) is made up of only straight lines. Whether
or not lines within a symbol touch is irrelevant
to the question.
34. (E)
Each symbol is made up of three lines. In
set 1, the lines that compose each symbol are
of like quality, that is, solid, broken, or dotted.
In set 2, the lines composing each symbol are
not of the same quality. Of the choices, only
(E) consists of straight and dotted lines. All the
other choices are figures made up of lines of
the same quality. The shapes of the lines are
irrelevant.
35. (B)
All symbols consist of a circle and a line.
In the first set, the line is tangent to the circle.
In the second set, the line is perpendicular or
nearly perpendicular to the circle. Choice (B)
best fits this requirement.
36. (C)
You can see at a glance that the numbers
in this series are increasing by 1. If the series
were continued for two more numbers, it would
read: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.
37. (D)
Clearly the numbers in this series are
decreasing by 1. If the series were continued
for two more numbers, it would read: 15 14 13
12 11 10 9 8 7.
38. (B)
Each number in this series is repeated
and then increased by 1. If the series were
continued for two more numbers, it would
read: 20 20 21 21 22 22 23 23 24. Your answer
choice must include the repeat of the number
and then the following number.
