Answers to Reasoning Questions
The correct answer to question 1 is number 4. If a San Francisco clock shows 4:00 and is one hour behind (slow), the actual time in San Francisco is 5:00. Therefore, the time in New York, which is three hours ahead, would be 8:00, or choice 4.
The correct answer to question 2 is number 4. Choice 1 cannot be concluded, since most but not all of the Gaspard family lives in South Louisiana. Choice 2 is not supported by the passage at all. Choice 3 cannot be concluded, because the passage states that many, not all, people in South Louisiana celebrate Mardi Gras. Therefore, the answer is none of the above, or choice 4.
The correct answer to question 3 is number 1. The passage does not address whether or not Bill will be able to reschedule his meeting, so choice 2 cannot be concluded. Choice 3 cannot be concluded, because the passage says he will probably lose a major account, but this is not a certainty. Choice 1 is a correct conclusion, because the passage states that Bill must use Highway 19 to get to work, and that Highway 19 is closed all day. Therefore, it can be concluded that Bill would not be able get to work that day.
The correct answer to question 4 is number 3. Choices 1, 2, and 4 all describe characteristics that could be easily changed or hidden. However; a scar on the face is noticeable and could not be easily disguised or removed. Therefore, the best answer is choice 3.
