interpretation |\question |\2: |
Consider |\the |\statement: |\If |\it |\is |\made |\of |\glass, |\it |\may |
break. |\Which |\statement |\provides |\the |\best |\interpretation? a.
|\If |\it |\does |\not |\break |\it |\is |\not |\glass. |
*b. |* Nothing |\breaks |\except |\glass *c. |* If |\it |\breaks, |\it |\is |\glass. |
*d. |* Glass |\can |\break. |
*correct |\answer |\is |\d. |* a |\is |\incorrect |\because |\many |\things |\that |\do |\not |\break |\are |\not |
glass b |\is |\incorrect |\because |\things |\do |\break |\that |\are |\not |\glass |
c |\is |\incorrect |\because |\many |\things |\break |\that |\are |\not |\glass. |

which |\is |\the |\same |\as |\ roses |\are |\red. a. |*
tree |\trunks |\are |\brown *b. |* carnations |\are |\white *c. |* bananas |\are |\yellow *d. |* leaves |\are |\green

Correct |\answer |\is |\b. |
a |\is |\incorrect |\because |\a |\tree |\is |\not |\a |\flower. c |\is |\incorrect |\because |\a |\fruit |\is |\not |\a |\flower d |\is |\incorrect |\because |\a |\leaf |\is |\not |\a |\flower. |
*Analysis |\question |\2: |\Consider |\the |\following. |\Which |\is |\the |

A9D8G *b. |* C1E2G *c. |* A4E3H *d. |* B7F6C *Correct |\answer |\is |\a. |\BECAUSE |\the |\alphabet |\pattern |\is |
every |\3rd |\letter |\and |\numbers |\decrease |\by |\1. |*
b,c,d |\are |\incorrect |\because |\they |\don't |\follow |\the |\pattern |
*Evaluation |\question |\1: |\You |\are |\given |\a |\prescription |\for |\a |
new |\drug |\to |\treat |\a |\long-standing |\health |\problem. |\How |
can |\you |\best |\determine |\the |\side |\effects |\that |\may |\be |
