The alphabet is here to help you with these questions.
Find the letters that will complete the sentence in the best way and mark the
correct answer on your answer sheet.

Example EF is to HI as ST is to [ ? ]

A VV B TU C VW D VX E UW

Answer VW

Solution Look at the first two pairs of letters. The letter H is three places
after E in the alphabet, and the letter I is three places after F. The
second two pairs of letters must go together in the same way. The
letter that is three places after S in the alphabet is V, and the
letter that is three places after T is W, so the answer is VW.

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

Example For how many days will you go on HOAY?

A LAD B PIN C LID D NOT E FUN

Answer LID

Solution The three-letter word that has been removed from HOAY is LID. If
you place this three-letter word between HO and AY, it makes the
word HOLIDAY and thus completes the sentence sensibly.

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

Example My scar took weeks to fade.

A My scar

D weeks to

In each question, find the number that will complete the equation correctly and
mark it on your answer sheet.

Example 1+4=3+[?]

Answer 2

Solution The calculation on the right-hand side of the equals sign must
have the same value as the calculation on the left-hand side.
In this case, the calculation on the left-hand side makes 5, so
the question mark must be replaced by the number 2 so that
the right-hand side also makes 5.
