  5. What is the odd-one-out method in verbal reasoning?

    Identifying the single item in a group that does not share the common property of the others (classification).

  6. What comes next in the series: 2, 4, 8, 16, ...?

    32 (each term is multiplied by 2; a geometric pattern).

  7. What comes next in the series: 3, 6, 9, 12, ...?

    15 (an arithmetic series with common difference of 3).

  8. Identify the next term: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...?

    36 (these are perfect squares: 1², 2², 3², 4², 5², 6²).

  9. What is the next term in the Fibonacci series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...?

    13 (each term is the sum of the two preceding terms).

  10. Find the next letter series term: A, C, E, G, ...?

    I (letters skip one each time: +2 positions in the alphabet).

  11. What is a syllogism?

    A form of deductive reasoning with two premises and a conclusion (e.g., All A are B; All B are C; therefore all A are C).

  12. What is the difference between deductive and inductive reasoning?

    Deductive reasoning moves from general premises to a specific certain conclusion; inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to a general probable conclusion.

  13. In logic, what is a valid argument?

    An argument in which the conclusion necessarily follows from the premises (if premises are true, the conclusion must be true).

  14. What is an assumption in critical thinking?

    An unstated idea taken for granted that the argument depends on to be true.

  15. What is a logical fallacy?

    An error in reasoning that makes an argument invalid or weak (e.g., ad hominem, circular reasoning).

  16. From 'All cats are animals' and 'Some animals are pets', can we conclude 'Some cats are pets'?

    No; this conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises (invalid deduction).

  17. What is the BODMAS/PEMDAS order of operations?

    Brackets, Orders (powers/roots), Division and Multiplication (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right).

  18. What is the value of 12 + 6 ÷ 2 × 3 using BODMAS?

    21 (6 ÷ 2 = 3, then 3 × 3 = 9, then 12 + 9 = 21).

  19. What is a prime number? Give the first five.

    A number greater than 1 with only two factors (1 and itself); the first five are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.

  20. What is the LCM and HCF of 12 and 18?

    LCM (lowest common multiple) = 36; HCF (highest common factor) = 6.
