The 6 sample questions as a list
-
After falling off the balance beam in three straight practices, Keiko stayed ______, climbing back up each time and repeating the routine until she finally landed it cleanly.
A) gracious
B) thorough
C) persistent
D) hesitantC) persistentCharacter & Behavior
Climbing back up after every fall is not quitting no matter how hard it gets: persistent. Thorough is tempting, but it means taking care to cover every part so nothing gets missed, which describes a job, not someone who keeps climbing back up. -
The twins look so alike that new teachers can ______ them only by the small scar on Leo's chin and the freckle beside Max's left eye.
A) interpret
B) evaluate
C) distinguish
D) classifyC) distinguishThinking & Knowing
Telling look-alike twins apart is seeing the difference between them: distinguish. Classify is tempting, but it means grouping things by kind, and the teachers are not grouping the boys; they are telling them apart. -
So that every student would be judged fairly, the science fair judges made every inspection ______, checking each measurement, reading every notebook page and testing every model twice.
A) moderate
B) thorough
C) excessive
D) logicalB) thoroughActions & Effort
Checking every measurement and every page, leaving nothing out, makes the inspection thorough. Excessive is tempting because the judges did a lot, but excessive means overdoing it, and careful checking for fairness is not too much. -
Electricity use in the city, steady all spring, suddenly ______ during the first heat wave as thousands of families switched on fans and air conditioners at the same time.
A) plunged
B) rebounded
C) crumbled
D) spikedD) spikedChange & Growth
Leaping upward in one quick burst is what use did when it spiked. Rebounded is tempting because it also means going up, but a rebound only comes after a drop, and use had been steady, not falling. -
Assembling the bookshelf was ______: the instructions had only four steps, every screw was labeled, and Dad finished in ten minutes without one frustrated word.
A) straightforward
B) compact
C) logical
D) drasticA) straightforwardQuality & Judgment
Four steps, labeled screws and ten minutes add up to easy to do: straightforward. Logical is tempting because clear steps sound sensible, but logical describes careful thinking, and the clues show how easy the job was. -
The woodpecker tapped along the old tree until the sound changed to a ______ knock where the trunk had rotted away inside.
A) sturdy
B) barren
C) spacious
D) hollowD) hollowNature & Time
A knock that reveals an empty space inside the trunk is a hollow knock. Spacious is tempting because there is room inside, but spacious describes a place with room to spare, like a house, not the sound of a tap.
