The coaches will move the gymnast who has won the biggest prize and who has the most experience. In the last competition, Roberta won a bronze medal and has competed seven times before. Jamie has won a silver medal and has competed fewer times than Roberta. Beth has won a higher medal than Jamie and has competed more times than Roberta. Michele has won a bronze medal, and it is her third time competing. Who will be moved to the Level 1 team?
A. Roberta B. Beth C. Michele D. Jamie
Answer: Option B
Solution: Beth won the biggest prize, described as a higher medal than Jamie’s, which we’ve been told was a silver medal. Roberta and Michele both won bronze medals, which are lower ranking medals than silver. Beth is also described as having competed more times than Roberta— who has competed seven times. Jamie is described as having competed fewer times than Roberta, and Michele has competed three times. Therefore, Beth has competed more times than the others and has won the biggest prize to date.
9. I bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what I had paid. What percent of the total amount paid by me was paid for the pens ?
A.37.5% B.62.5% C.50% D.None of these
Answer: B
Solution:
Let one pen, one pencil and one eraser cost n, p and r units respectively. Let the amount paid by me be A units. I pay (5n + 7p + 4r) = A …….. Eqn. (1) While Rajan pays (6n + 14p + 8r) = 1.5 A ………… Eqn. (2). Multiply equation (1) by 2. We Get (10n + 14p + 8r) = 2A …….. Eqn. (3). Comparing equations (2) and (3), we see that while Rajan gets 4 pens less, he pays 0.5A units less. Thus, A = the price of 8 pens. Therefore the % of the total price paid by me initially, which was used for pens is (5/8) (100) = 62.5%.

11. In the Maple Hill school district, a Five-Day Suspension occurs when a student is not permitted to attend school for five days for (1) physically assaulting another student, a teacher, or a school employee or (2) willfully destructing or defacing school property. Which situation below is the best example of a Five-Day Suspension?
A. Lillian gets caught cheating on a math test for the second time and is suspended from school. B. Marc is asked to leave the classroom due to his constant disruptions. C. Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension. D. Ms. Farmer tells her class that students who fail the midterm exam will be expected to stay after school for tutoring help.
Answer: Option C
Solution: Although choices a and c both describe suspensions, only choice c describes a suspension that is the result of one of the two scenarios given in the definition of a five-day suspension (physical assault or destructing or defacing school property). Therefore, we can assume that Franny’s suspension, which is the result of spray painting school property, will be a five day suspension. Since the definition doesn’t provide any information about suspensions for cheating, we can assume that Lillian’s suspension does not fall into the five-day suspension category.

13. Here are some words translated from an artificial language.
godabim means kidney stones
romzbim means kidney beans
romzbako means wax beans
Which word could mean “wax statue”?
A. godaromz B. lazbim C. wasibako D. romzpeo
Answer: Option C
Solution: In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From godabim and romzbim, you can determine that bim means kidney. From romzbim and romzbako, you can determine that romz means beans. Therefore, bako means wax. Because the adjective wax must come after the noun in this language, wasibako is the only choice.
