Solution

Sure, here are the answers to your questions:

  1. The correct answer is B. self-deprecating : boast. The relationship between the words in each pair is that the first word is a characteristic that would prevent the action in the second word. A self-indulgent person is unlikely to abstain, and a self-deprecating person is unlikely to boast.

  2. The correct answer is C. QPR. The pattern in the series is that each group of letters is shifted three places to the right in the alphabet.

  3. The correct answer is E. none of these. The correct answer should be "listener" as a book is read by a reader, a radio is listened to by a listener.

  4. The correct answer is C. metaphor. The sentence "Janet’s heart was a jagged stone" is a metaphor because it directly compares Janet's heart to a jagged stone.

  5. The correct answer is B. contraband. Contraband means goods that have been imported or exported illegally.

  6. The correct answer is D. 4-3-2-1. This order provides a logical progression of the artist's career.

  7. The correct answer is A. dessert. Espresso is a type of coffee and strudel is a type of dessert.

  8. The correct answer is B. UPPURTANOTY MEKIS E THOIF. The code seems to involve switching the first and third letters of each word.

  9. The correct answer is E. heat. All the other options are sources of heat, while heat itself is not.

  10. The correct answer is B. grating is to taste. Insipid and grating both describe unpleasant sensory experiences.

  11. The correct answer is D. accountable. All the words in the list are synonyms for being clear or obvious.

  12. The correct answer is B. U. The pattern is that each letter is followed by its mirror image in the alphabet (A and Z, B and Y, C and X, etc.).

  13. The correct answer is C. R. Adding an R to REIGNS and rearranging the letters gives you SINGERS, which is a word meaning choir.

  14. The correct answer is D. 3 & 5. Statement 3 tells us that Jonathon’s brother and nephew have a dog breeding business together, and statement 5 tells us that they breed long-haired dogs, which Golden Retrievers are.

  15. The correct answer is E. none of these. The sentence is correctly structured as it is.

  16. The correct answer is B. IMPROVEMENT. Detriment means harm or damage, so its opposite would be improvement.

  17. The correct answer is A. Alphonse. From the information given, we can determine that the order of finish is Jack, Winnie, Ernie, Mildred, Alphonse.

  18. The correct answer is C. iosen. Unjumbling the letters gives you "noise", completing the idiom "Empty vessels make the most noise".
