24 sample cards from the English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is a 'topic sentence' in a paragraph?
The sentence (usually first) that states the main idea of the paragraph.
What does 'context clue' mean when reading?
Hints within surrounding text that help a reader figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

Name three common transition words used to show contrast.
However, on the other hand, nevertheless (also: conversely, whereas).
What is the difference between 'précis' writing and a summary?
A précis is a concise restatement (about one-third length) preserving the original's tone and key ideas in your own words; a summary is a brief overview of main points.
In verbal reasoning, how do you solve an analogy like 'Hand : Glove :: Foot : ?'
Identify the relationship (a glove covers a hand) and apply it: Foot : Sock (a sock covers a foot).
In a number series, what comes next: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
42 — differences increase by 2 (4, 6, 8, 10, 12), so 30 + 12 = 42.
In coding-decoding, if CAT = DBU, how is DOG coded?
EPH — each letter is shifted forward by one (+1).
In blood relations, who is your 'father's sister's son' to you?
Your cousin (maternal/paternal cousin).
What is the next term in the series: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?
36 — these are perfect squares (6² = 36).
In a syllogism: All cats are animals; all animals are living. Conclusion?
All cats are living (valid by transitivity).
In direction sense, if you face North and turn 90° clockwise, which way do you face?
East.
What letter completes the series: A, C, E, G, ?
I — the pattern skips one letter each time (alternate letters).
In odd-one-out, which does not belong: Rose, Lily, Mango, Jasmine?
Mango — it is a fruit, while the others are flowers.
In nonverbal reasoning, what is 'mirror image' of a figure?
The reflection of a figure as it would appear in a vertical mirror, with left and right reversed.
What is a 'water image' in nonverbal reasoning?
The inverted reflection of a figure as seen in water, with top and bottom reversed.
In paper folding/punching problems, what should you track?
The position of punched holes after the paper is unfolded, accounting for symmetry along each fold line.
What is 'embedded figure' identification in nonverbal reasoning?
Finding a given simple figure hidden within a more complex figure without altering its orientation.
In a figure series, how do you predict the next pattern?
Identify the rule of change (rotation, addition/removal of elements, shading, movement) and apply it to the last figure.
What does 'rotation' mean in nonverbal reasoning problems?
Turning a figure around a fixed point by a certain angle (e.g., 90°, 180°) while keeping its shape unchanged.
What this deck covers
The English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning deck follows the BITSAT English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning syllabus — 2 chapters and 6 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 25.0 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 76 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
