- Review each statement carefully, analyzing the connections among the presented words or concepts.
- For each scenario, you will have a list of words or concepts in random order. Your objective is to logically rearrange these options, ranking them from the most to the least relevant in relation to the scenario.
- Base your ordering on the logical or conceptual relationships among the words, rather than on their dictionary definitions.
- These examples are designed to familiarize you with the test's format and the type of analytical thinking required.
This is something you use to cut paper.
KNIFE
CAR
CHAIR
SCISSORS
BRUSH
Correct Order:
SCISSORS
KNIFE
BRUSH
CHAIR
CAR
Explanation:
- SCISSORS: Placed first because they are specifically designed for cutting paper, making them the most relevant and suitable tool compared to the others.
- KNIFE: Next, as it can also cut paper, but is generally less safe and precise than scissors for this purpose. It's more relevant than the remaining options but less ideal than scissors.
- BRUSH: Positioned after the knife because, while it is a hand-held tool like scissors and knives, it's not used for cutting. It's more closely related to the concept of hand tools than furniture (chair) or vehicles (car).
- CHAIR: Comes before the car as, although it's unrelated to cutting, it's a common object found indoors like scissors, knives, and brushes, as opposed to a car which is typically outdoors.
- CAR: The least relevant, placed last because it's completely unrelated to cutting tools or indoor objects. It's a mode of transportation, making it the farthest in context from the intended use of cutting paper.
In a city park, you observe different birds. Some are perched quietly, while others are frequently flying around.
GATHERING NEST MATERIALS
WATCHING FOR PREDATORS
SEARCHING FOR FOOD
NESTING
MIGRATING
Correct Order:
SEARCHING FOR FOOD
GATHERING NEST MATERIALS
NESTING
WATCHING FOR PREDATORS
MIGRATING
Explanation:
- SEARCHING FOR FOOD: This is the most likely reason for birds frequently flying around, as they often engage in this activity during the day.
- GATHERING NEST MATERIALS: Birds in flight might also be collecting materials for their nests. This activity is essential, especially during nesting seasons.
- NESTING: Perched birds are likely nesting or resting. Nesting is a crucial activity but may be less observable compared to birds in active search.
- WATCHING FOR PREDATORS: Perched birds might be staying still to watch for predators, a common behavior for ensuring safety.
- MIGRATING: While migration is important for birds, it's less relevant in the context of a city park setting, where birds are more likely to be engaging in daily activities rather than migrating.
It's an activity that involves following a series of instructions to make food.
