A
Choice A is perfect if the conditions laid down are correctly understood. Choice B is incorrect because S has not opted to be in second which means X has to be in 2nd place the remaining seating positions automatically go wrong except for U, Y, T and W in the 5, 6, 7 and 8th cottage.
A
If S chooses cottage 8, then U must be in 5. Supposing U was not assigned 5, then even T and Y would have to be changed, since according to the conditions laid down in the premises, T and U have to be adjacent to Y. Therefore U has to be in 5 to fulfill that requirement. Hence choice A is true.
D
Once again keeping the conditions in mind, if Y will have to be in 4, only then, T can go to either 5 or 7. Now if Y is shifted then T can be in 5. Now S has to assume cottage 7. Thus the order of positions in cottages would be:
E
Assuming W to be in cottage 5, T would have to be in 7. Thus it would satisfy all the requirements. Y would be in 8 and U in 1. X and V would remain where they are, i.e. in 2 and 3 respectively. Z and S can be in cottage 6 and 4. All other choices A, B, C and D are incorrect, because Z has to be in cottage 6 if W is in 5. Finally S will have to be in 4. The order now would be:
D
The choices B, C and E are not relevant. The question requires you to pick up a statement from the passage which claims that the australopithecine might have been great hunters to have brought home so much meat. Choice A apparently supposes to be a weakening statement. One has to look for a statement that completely weakens in a most seriously manner. In choice A it is also stated that they did not remain in one cave for a lifetime - may be so; but it sill does not prevent them from collecting bones of animals. Hence choice D is a perfect statement that suggests the possibility of the animals being hunted by some large cat like animals of the period; this weakens the ancestor’s claim that the australopithecine must have been mighty hunters.
A
Choices B, C and D are absolutely irrelevant. They are not represented in the passage even as minor points. Where choice E comes closely to the question asked as an important point in the passage, but it is a not a major point - it is rather a repeat statement from the passage and has been presented in a vague manner. Hence choice A is correct because, here the focus is on the viewer’s ability and intelligence to discern the authentic from the illusion or vice versa since the television offers both to the viewers. This is a point made in the passage.
E
The choices A, B, C and D are all irrelevant and circuitous in form. The simple logic that emerges out of the given passage is, if Susie will go only to the restaurants near her place, it rules out her possibility of going along with Ben and Marie. Ben and Marie will eat together at a restaurant only if Susie comes along with them. Since Susie’s neighborhood is several miles away from the down town area, it follows that Ben and Marie rule out the possibility of eating together at a restaurant in down town area. Hence, by process of elimination, choice E comes in as the closest correct answer.
D
All the other alternatives A, B, C and E are ambiguous and false in the given context of the passage. The question asked is to pick up a statement that can be the assumption on which the interpretation of the data was made possible. Hence choice D is the correct assumption underlying the data interpretation given in the passage.
