If BAD is coded as YZW and FIGHT is coded as URTSG, then HIGH will be coded as
(a) PRSP
(b) TRST
(c) RSTR
(d) SRTS
Answer
(d) SRTS
The code is the Atbash cipher: each letter is replaced by its opposite in the alphabet (A↔Z, B↔Y, etc.). So HIGH → H→S, I→R, G→T, H→S = SRTS.

If 6145 stands for FADE and 9451 stands for IDEA, what does 8978 stand for?
(a) THIS
(b) NIGH
(c) HIGH
(d) THAT
Answer
(c) HIGH
Since 9 stands for I, the second letter must be I. Also, the digit 8 appears both first and last, so the word must begin and end with the same letter. Only HIGH fits.

If TOUR is written as 1234, CLEAR is written as 56784 and SPARE is written as 90847, find the code for CARE
(a) 1247
(b) 4847
(c) 5247
(d) 847
Answer
The code for CARE is 5847, which matches none of the printed options exactly.
From CLEAR = 56784: C=5, L=6, E=7, A=8, R=4. SPARE = 90847 confirms A=8, R=4, E=7. So CARE = C A R E = 5, 8, 4, 7.
Option (d) 847 is the nearest, but it omits the code for C.

The other options are too strong: having wings does not guarantee flight (ostriches have wings but cannot fly), and not every flying creature necessarily has wings in the sense stated.

Answer

Rule: each pair of letters is equidistant around the required letter; take the average of their alphabet positions.

- NP → (14 + 16)/2 = 15 → O
- QS → (17 + 19)/2 = 18 → R
- DF → (4 + 6)/2 = 5 → E
So:

- QS → 18 → R
- TV → (20 + 22)/2 = 21 → U
- SU → T
- GI → (7 + 9)/2 = 8 → H

Journalist: To reconcile the need for profits sufficient to support new drug research with the moral imperative to provide medicines to those who most need them but cannot afford them, some pharmaceutical companies feel justified in selling a drug in rich nations at one price and in poor nations at a much lower price. But this practice is unjustified. A nation with a low average income may still have a substantial middle class better able to pay for new drugs than are many of the poorer citizens of an overall wealthier nation.
Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the journalist's reasoning?
(a) People who are ill deserve more consideration than do healthy people, regardless of their relative socioeconomic positions.
(b) Wealthy institutions have an obligation to expend at least some of their resources to assist those incapable of assisting themselves.
(c) Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one's needs rather than on characteristics of the society to which one belongs.
(d) The people in wealthy nations should not have better access to health-care than do the people in poorer nations.
(e) Unequal access to health care is more unfair than an unequal distribution of wealth.
Answer
(c) Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one's needs rather than on characteristics of the society to which one belongs.
The journalist objects to pricing drugs by a nation’s average income because that treats people according to the wealth of their country rather than their individual ability to pay. Since a poorer country can contain middle-class citizens who can pay more than some poor citizens in richer countries, the relevant factor should be individual need or capacity, not national average income. Thus principle (c) best supports the reasoning.

Several critics have claimed that any contemporary poet who writes formal poetry—poetry that is rhymed and metered—is performing a politically conservative act. This is plainly false. Consider Molly Peacock and Marilyn Hacker, two contemporary poets whose poetry is almost exclusively formal and yet who are themselves politically progressive feminists.
The conclusion drawn above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
(a) No one who is a feminist is also politically conservative.
(b) No poet who writes unrhymed or unmetered poetry is politically conservative.
(c) Anyone who sometimes writes poetry that is not politically conservative never writes poetry that is politically conservative.
(d) No one who is politically progressive is capable of performing a politically conservative act.
(e) The content of a poet's work, not the work's form, is the most decisive factor in determining what political consequences, if any, the work will have.
Answer
(d) No one who is politically progressive is capable of performing a politically conservative act.
The argument uses Peacock and Hacker as counterexamples: they write formal poetry but are politically progressive. For this to disprove the critics’ claim, it must be impossible for a politically progressive person to perform a politically conservative act.

Situation: In the island nation of Bezun, the government taxes gasoline heavily in order to induce people not to drive. It uses the revenue from the gasoline tax to subsidize electricity in order to reduce prices charged for electricity.
Analysis: The greater the success achieved in meeting the first of these objectives, the less will be the success achieved in meeting the second.
The analysis provided for the situation above would be most appropriate in which one of the following situations?
(a) A library charges a late fee in order to induce borrowers to return books promptly. The library uses revenue from the late fee to send reminders to tardy borrowers in order to reduce the incidence of overdue books.
(b) A mail-order store imposes a stiff surcharge for overnight delivery in order to limit use of this option. The store uses revenue from the surcharge to pay the extra expenses it incurs for providing the overnight delivery service.
(c) The park management charges an admission fee so that a park's users will contribute to the park's upkeep. In order to keep admission fees low, the management does not finance any new projects from them.
(d) A restaurant adds a service charge in order to spare customers the trouble of individual tips. The service charge is then shared among the restaurant's workers in order to augment their low hourly wages.
(e) The highway administration charges a toll for crossing a bridge in order to get motorists to use other routes. It uses the revenue from that toll to generate a reserve fund in order to be able one day to build a new bridge.
Answer
(e) The highway administration charges a toll for crossing a bridge in order to get motorists to use other routes. It uses the revenue from that toll to generate a reserve fund in order to be able one day to build a new bridge.
This matches the structure: success in discouraging the taxed activity (driving/bridge crossing) reduces the revenue collected, which in turn reduces the ability to achieve the second objective (subsidizing electricity/building a new bridge).

Answer
(a) In heavily populated areas the introduction of water power would have been certain to cause social unrest by depriving large numbers of people of their livelihood.
This explains the difference: in outlying areas, labor was scarce, so water power was useful and caused little displacement. In large cities, however, there were many laborers whose jobs would be lost, so the Romans avoided water power there to prevent social unrest.

Questions 71-75 are based on visual analogy. There are two sets of figure. The problem figures bear some relationship. One of the answer figures is also based on the same relationship. You are required to identify the figure to fit the question mark.
[Image-based question]
Answer
This is a visual analogy question. To solve one, study how the first set of problem figures changes (rotation, reflection, shading, size, number or position of parts, or an added or removed element), then apply the same change to the second set and pick the answer figure that matches. The figures themselves are images, so the option cannot be stated from the text here.

"Empty vessels make much noise" is logically similar to
(a) Wise people do not talk much.
(b) Fools generally praise themselves.
(c) Cowards die many times before their natural death.
(d) Empty vessels and people are similar.
Answer
(b) Fools generally praise themselves.
The proverb means that people with little knowledge or ability are the ones who talk the most and boast loudly, just as a hollow (empty) vessel rattles the loudest. Its logical counterpart is that fools generally praise themselves — so (b) carries the same idea. Option (a) is not logically equivalent; it is the inverse (wise people do not talk much), and (c) and (d) are unrelated to the proverb's meaning.

Horse : Mare :: ? (Select the pair with a similar relationship.)
(a) Fox : Vixen
(b) Duck : Geese
(c) Dog : Puppy

The other options do not fit: Duck : Geese is singular to plural (and of a different species), Dog : Puppy is adult to young, and Donkey : Pony are two different animals.
