1. B, E, F play first and then A, C, D play second.
   Dogs A, D and F all go home. The remaining dogs play together.
2. Dog E goes home. The remaining dogs play together.
   A, C, E play first and then B, D, F play second.

C and D have to play first, so the first answer would not work. In the third answer, A and B cannot play together, so that option wouldn't work either. In the fourth answer, D has to play first, so that one's out. That leaves the second answer as the viable option.

1. If there are pesticide controls, there will be some edible fish.
   With pesticide controls in place, the fish population will rapidly increase.
2. No edible fish can be found where there are no pesticide controls in place.
   If there are pesticide controls, then there will be many edible fish.

This sentence assumes that when there are no pesticide controls in place, there are no edible fish in the waters. That's what the third answer says, while the others are saying the opposite.

1. The first digit is 4.
   The second digit is 0.
2. The third digit is 2.
   The fourth digit is 3.

Since the last digit is 1, that means the third digit has to be less than 1, so it has to be 0. Then the second digit has to be twice that of the first digit, which would give us a first digit of 2 and a second digit of 4. That leaves 3 as the fourth digit in the product code.

1. If most workers drive to work and Bill drives to work, then Bill must be a worker.
   The majority of those who voted for Trump in the last election oppose legalizing marijuana; therefore, if the residents of Napa Valley all voted for Trump, they probably oppose legalizing marijuana.
2. Most of the people that join the military are men; therefore, if Chambers did not join the military, Chambers is probably female.
   Over 60 percent of the college students polled admitted to drinking underage; therefore, a majority of college students have drunk underage.

The second answer parallels both the reasoning and structure of the original statement. You can summarize it by saying that most X -> Y; therefore X -> Y.

1. Thursday: "Annihilation;" Friday: "Venom," then "Glass;" Saturday: "Glass," then "Venom"
   Thursday: "Annihilation;" Friday: "Glass;" Saturday: "Glass," then "Venom"
2. Thursday: "Glass," then "Annihilation;" Friday: "Glass;" Saturday: "Annihilation"
   Thursday: "Venom," then "Annihilation;" Friday: "Glass," then "Annihilation;" Saturday: "Annihilation"

For the first one, both "Venom" and "Glass" cannot be shown on Friday, so it breaks the rules. For the third option, "Venom" is never shown. For the fourth option, no movie is shown after "Venom" or "Glass" that day, so "Annihilation" could not be shown and the schedule doesn't work. That means the second option works.

1. H can work either day.
   If B works on Saturday, then A works on Sunday.
2. If A works on Saturday, then D works on Sunday.
   If C works on Saturday, then D works on Sunday.

Managers cannot work on the same day together. However, that does not affect which managers and tellers can work. D has no effect on when A can work and vice versa.

1. Blue stockings
   White blouse
2. Sky blue blouse
   Red stockings

Since she is wearing the black shoes, that means she can't wear the brown skirt. Therefore, she is wearing the blue skirt, which means she cannot wear the red stockings.

1. Matt buys the Maserati; Stacy buys the Ferrari; Michelle buys the Lamborghini; Nick buys the Alfa Romeo; Fred keeps the Jaguar.
   Stacy buys the Jaguar; Matt buys the Maserati; Nick buys the Ferrari; Michelle buys the Alfa Romeo; Fred keeps the Lamborghini.
2. Stacy buys the Ferrari; Michelle buys the Lamborghini; Matt buys the Alfa Romeo; Nick buys the Jaguar and the Maserati.
   Matt buys the Jaguar; Michelle buys the Maserati; Stacy buys the Ferrari; Nick buys the Lamborghini; Fred keeps the Alfa Romeo.

Matt loves yellow and orange, so he can buy the burnt orange Maserati. Stacy prefers silver, so she buys the silver Ferrari. Michelle hates orange, so the black Lamborghini is for her. Nick likes everything, so he can buy the red Alfa Romeo. That leaves the yellow Jaguar for Fred.

1. 1 only
   2 only
2. 3 only
   1, 2 and 3

There are a lot of details to process in this one. However, it's pretty simple. Passenger C only takes bus 3, so the three passengers have to take bus 3 in order to satisfy the needs of C.

1. Michael is the surgeon.
   Melissa is across from Cindy.
2. The dentist is across from the surgeon.
   Shaun is the dentist.

In Statement 6, it states the general practitioner is across from the optometrist. Based on that, the dentist has to be across from the surgeon.

1. There are less high schools and students in Bermuda than in the United States.
   In order to graduate in Bermuda, students are required to take four years of advanced mathematics.
2. The math programs in the United States are understaffed.
   Math students in the U.S. are skipping school and taking full-time jobs.

The other options may lead to Bermuda having more math studies than the United States. However, the second option clearly tells us why their graduates have four years of advanced math, as it's a requirement.

1. Stacy buys the Lamborghini; George buys the Maserati and Jaguar; Otis doesn't want anything; Nick gets turned away; Fred keeps the Alfa Romeo and Ferrari.
   Stacy buys the Alfa Romeo; Michelle and Matt pool their money together and buy the Jaguar; Nick buys the Lamborghini; Fred keeps the Maserati and Ferrari.
2. Matt buys the Jaguar; Stacy buys the Ferrari; Nick buys the Alfa Romeo; Michelle is turned away; Fred keeps the Maserati and Lamborghini.
   Michelle buys the Maserati; Nick buys the Lamborghini and Alfa Romeo; Stacy and Matt are both turned away; Fred keeps the Ferrari and Jaguar.

Matt loves yellow and orange, so the yellow Jaguar is for him. Stacy prefers silver, so the silver Ferrari is for her. Nick likes everything, so he takes the red Alfa Romeo, and that leaves Fred with the Maserati and Lamborghini.

1. BCFG
   FBEGH
2. ABCEGF
   AFHG

The second and fourth options have two operation officers working together, which isn't allowed. The third option has two managers working together, which means the first option is correct.

1. No boss dislikes all of his or her employees.
   Most bosses like most of their employees.
2. All bosses dislike some of their employees.
   Some bosses like some of their employees.

In the statements, there is never any mention of a majority. So the statement about liking most of their employees is not true.

1. Italians are inferior to the British.
   There is a relationship between nationality and working.
2. That every great worker is British.
   British people are more likely to be better workers than Italians.

Tyler believes that Anne meant that only British people are great workers. He does not agree with that statement, so he defends his thoughts and says that he has met some Italians who are also great workers.

1. The ruling was reversed in 1985.
   There are no oil and gas resources within that 3-mile limit.
2. The Supreme Court has met recently.
   There may be oil and gas resources in the Atlantic Outer Shelf.

If the Supreme Court is making a ruling on this issue, then there must be oil and gas resources in the Atlantic Outer Shelf. It is crazy to think they would rule on something that doesn't exist. The other options have nothing to do with the ruling.

1. Urban crime tends to be more violent than rural crime.
   Crime runs rampant in all types of communities.
2. Rural communities tend to have higher crime rates.
   Crime is not solely an urban or rural situation.

The statements declare that crime can be high or low in both urban and rural communities. Because of that, crime is not linked solely to one specific community type.

1. Fortunately, not much has changed and this is still the case.
   New legislation has made it a necessity to bring the action to court.
2. Unfortunately, times have changed.
   The Chrysler Airflow is not as dangerous as it used to be.

The paragraph is comparing the past to the present. In the past, people didn't sue others that much. In the present, people are sue-crazy, and that is why the third option is correct.

1. Dentist
   General Practitioner
2. Optometrist
   Surgeon

We know that Melissa is the general practitioner. We also know that the optometrist is on Cindy's immediate left. The surgeon and general practitioner are married, so the surgeon has to be Shaun or Michael. That means Cindy is the dentist.

1. Modern foods are unhealthy.
   Average heights are increasing in all countries.
2. Comparisons have been studied in controlled groups.
   There isn't such a thing as an "average American."

The first and last option just weaken the argument. It makes no sense for the second option to be correct, so it has to be the third option — using studies to help the argument.

1. A works on Sunday.
   F works on Saturday.
2. D works on Saturday.
   H works on Sunday.

C's schedule has no effect on the schedule of A, F or H. They could work either day, so the statements concerning them could be true or false. However, C and D cannot work on the same day together, so D has to work on Saturday.

1. Minority students perform better in private schools.
   Parent involvement is the primary factor in student achievement.
2. A contributing factor in student achievement could be parent involvement.
   Other factors besides parent involvement have more impact on test scores.

All of the statements could be true. However, only one of them is proven in the two studies. These studies showed us that parent involvement is a possible contributing factor in student achievement.

1. All blue trucks accelerate quickly.
   There are some slow red trucks.
2. All slow trucks are blue.
   All trucks that accelerate quickly are blue.

The statement doesn't give us much to work with. We know that Ted drove a red truck, and he concluded that it has to be slow since it's red. To come to that, it has to be known that certain-colored vehicles accelerate quickly, like blue trucks in the final answer.

1. Not many people drink six cups of coffee a day, so not needed.
   These studies on rats give us little data about human birth defects.
2. The warning would only be for a small percentage of the population, so not needed.
   There are doubts about the conclusive nature of studies on animals.

This study on the rats has not been proven conclusively. If the government issued the warning before that happened and it was later proven to be false, then they would definitely lose credibility.

1. Experience
   Authority
2. Observation
   Analogy

This person is using analogy to make their case. They are comparing the dangers of smoking to the dangers of asbestos and radioactivity.

1. Some people succeed without gambling.
   Most fools do not succeed.
2. Most successful gamblers are not foolish.
   Most fools gamble.

The conclusion states that only fools succeed. That first answer states that some people succeed without gambling, which is true. That is why it weakens the conclusion the most.

1. Surgeon and general practitioner
   Optometrist and dentist
2. Surgeon and optometrist
   General practitioner and optometrist

We have determined that Melissa is the general practitioner and Cindy is the dentist. Based on that, if they left the table, it would leave us with the surgeon and the optometrist.

1. 0, 3
   1, 0
2. 3, 4
   3, 0

The value of the fifth digit has to be higher than the value of the third digit. The only way 3 could be the third digit is if 4 were the fifth digit. That means 3 and 4 would not work for this question.

1. Dogs B and E may or may not play together.
   Dogs A and D will never play together.
2. Dogs A and F will always play together.
   Dogs D and F will never play together.

Based on the guidelines, the last answer would be correct. Dog D has to play first and dog F has to play last. Since there are two playtimes, that means they'd never play together.

1. He doesn't like the landlord.
   He repeats himself.
2. He contradicts himself.
   He is assuming the landlord has a bad memory.

The tenant starts his response by saying he already paid the landlord and owes him no money. However, he follows it up by saying he is paying nothing until the heater is fixed. But we thought he owed him nothing?
