In these questions you must choose one word from the first bracket and one word
from the second bracket on the answer sheet that best completes the sentence.

EXAMPLE: Heavy is to (light, huge, heave) as big is to (small, brag, round).

Heavy is to light as big is to small makes the most sense (opposite meanings).

ANSWER: light small

1. Brave is to (knight, cowardly, courage) as cautious is to (watch, attend, reckless).

2. Mar is to (ram, ruin, mare) as bat is to (cricket, tab, bait).

3. Fate is to (end, feat, weight) as rail is to (whale, train, irate).

4. 49 is to (30, 64, 98) as 16 is to (34, 11, 25).

5. Cave is to (cove, water, crave) as bide is to (waiter, bride, bad).

6. Glad is to (morose, content, rag) as fair is to (impartial, horse, wing)

In these questions, find two words, one from each group, that together make one
correctly spelt word, without changing the order of the letters.
The word from the first group always comes first.
Mark both words on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: (car, far, tar) (pet, low, put) ANSWER: car pet

Taking one word from the first bracket and one from the second bracket, car and pet
are the only words that can be joined to form a new word: carpet.

7. (per, cap, lit) (war, son, are)

8. (fan, ton, bar) (rag, run, row)

9. (can, her, win) (hoe, try, for)

10. (tea, tour, con) (ring, post, mean)

11. (font, war, set) (din, are, rant)

12. (pal, fill, fry) (tree, let, lice)

2
In these sentences, the word in capitals has had three letters next to each other
taken out.
These three letters will make one correctly spelt word without changing their order.
The sentence that you make must make sense.
Mark the correct three-letter word on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: “Can you hear the feet STAMG?” ANSWER: PIN (stamPINg)

The three-letter word that has been removed from STAMG is ‘PIN’.
If we place this three-letter word between M and G, it makes the word STAMPING
and this completes the sentence.

13. OINALLY, the house had three rooms.

14. The BOONS identified the venue of the party.

15. The statues are safely housed in a MUM.

16. Tourism has suffered due to the PEMIC.

17. It’s hard to LIS if you are talking.

18. The new HAIRLE proved popular.

In these sentences, a word of four letters is hidden at the end of one word and the
beginning of the next word.
Find the pair of words that contains the hidden word and mark this on the answer
sheet.

EXAMPLE: Winnie the Pooh lived in Hundred Acre Wood. ANSWER: crew
The hidden word is ‘crew’, which is made up of the last three letters of the word ‘Acre’
and the first letter of the word ‘wood’.
So the pair of words that contains the hidden word is ‘Acre Wood’.

19. Our mouse ran behind the bookcase.

20. Rabbits love to munch on carrots.

21. The stairs are too steep for me.

22. The footballer carefully returned the ball.

23. Nobody heard the cat creep into the house.

24. The vacuum quickly cleaned up the mess.

3
In these questions, the same letter must fit into both sets of brackets, to complete the
word in front of the brackets and begin the word after the brackets.
Find this letter and mark it on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: fin [?] rain see [?] are ANSWER: d

The same letter that fits into both sets of brackets to form four words is ‘d’.
(The four new words are find, drain, seed and dare.

25. tom [?] read bul [?] laze

26. pla [?] our fair [?] awn

27. for [?] ame pun [?] hey

28. chal [?] ite mar [?] ind

29. fai [?] oot tal [?] ard

30. nee [?] ream bal [?] ear

In these questions, letters stand for numbers.

Work out the answer to each sum and then find its letter and mark it on the answer
sheet.

EXAMPLE: If A = 1, B = 3, C = 4, D = 7, E = 9, what is the answer to the sum, written

as a letter?

D + B - A = [?] ANSWER: E (since 7 + 3 – 1 = 9)

31. If A = 4, B = 2, C = 3, D = 16, E = 10, what is the answer to this sum, written as a

letter? A+B+E

32. If A = 9, B = 8, C = 6, D = 5, E = 3, what is the answer to this sum, written as a

letter? A÷E+D

33. If A = 2, B = 12, C = 4, D = 8, E = 30, what is the answer to this sum, written as a

letter? CxD–A

34. If A = 8, B = 3, C = 1, D = 2, E = 4, what is the answer to this sum, written as a

letter? D+A–B–E

35. If A = 1, B = 4, C = 7, D = 0, E = 9, what is the answer to this sum, written as a

letter? (C + B) x D x A

4
In this question, one letter can be moved from the first word to the second word to
make two new words.
The letters must not otherwise be rearranged and both new words must make sense.
Find the letter that moves and mark it on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: hill sow ANSWER: h

The answer is ‘h’. When removed from the word ‘hill’, we get the new word ‘ill’ and
when added to ‘sow’, we get a new word ‘show’.

36. bread gaze

37. plump four

38. plant rout

39. grain ore

40. cheat with

41. tripe card

42. ration may

meaning.
Mark both words on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: (big, astute, daily) (grand, small, duty) ANSWER: big small

43. (control, cease, construct) (deny, dredge, continue)

44. (banner, brand, brief) (long, depict, notice)

45. (nuance, increase, amend) (enlarge, wane, tiny)

In these questions, there are two pairs of words.
Only one of the five possible answers will go equally well with both of these pairs.
Mark it on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: (fee, price) (stampede, rush) ANSWER: charge

The answer is ‘charge’. The word ‘charge’ goes equally well with both pairs of words
because, just as it can refer to a price (fee) to be paid, it can also refer to a forward
action (stampede/rush).

51. (reject, decline) (waste, garbage)

A inject B spurn C refuse D burn E squander

52. (kiosk, booth) (halt, delay)

A stall B stand C stop D stonewall E arrest

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
The alphabet is given to help with these questions.
Find the next pair of letters in the series and mark it on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: AZ BY CX DW [?] ANSWER: EV

The answer is EV.

The letters are grouped into pairs. The first letter in each pair is in alphabetical order:
A, B, C, D, …
The second letter in each pair is going backwards alphabetically: Z, Y, X, W, …
Hence the next pair of letters is EV

60. AT CS ER GQ [?]

61. CR DO FL II MF [?]

62. LW MU KW NU JW [?]

63. DG CL AP XS TU [?]

64. JB NB RD VH ZN [?]

In these questions the three words in the second group should go together in the
same way as the three words in the first group. Find the word that is missing in the
second group and mark it on the answer sheet.

EXAMPLE: (cat [fat] for) : (cut [?] pin) Answer: put

The first letter of ‘for’ and the last two letters of ‘cat’ are put together to make the
word ‘fat’. In the same way, the first letter of ‘pin’ and the last two letters of the word
‘cut’ are put together to make the word ‘put’.

65. (book [bore] read) : (care [?] veil)

66. (trail [tidy] dairy) : (merge [?] trite)
