Answer: C. 45 ÷ 180 = 0.25 = 25%.

Answer: B. From 14:35 to 15:35 is 1 hour. From 15:35 to 16:10 is a further 35 minutes. Total: 1 hour 35 minutes.

Answer: B. Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (12 + 7) = 2 × 19 = 38m. (84m would be the AREA, 12 × 7 — a common mix-up.)

Answer: C. 3 × 7 + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23.

Answer: C. 3 × £1.85 = £5.55. £5.55 + £0.95 = £6.50. £10.00 − £6.50 = £3.50.

Answer: B. The passage describes her 'loving the quiet' and the ritual making the week 'feel like it was starting properly' — clear positive, valued associations, not boredom or resentment.

Answer: B. Read alongside the small daily ritual (letting her choose the loaf), the silence reads as comfortable and familiar, not unfriendly — this is a 'why did the writer include this detail' inference question, not a literal one.

Answer: B. 'Dilapidated' (falling into disrepair) is the only option that logically explains why a council would close a bridge. 'Sturdy' and 'modern' suggest the opposite; 'narrow' and 'colourful' don't explain a safety closure.

Answer: A. Option A correctly uses a comma before the closing speech mark, a comma after 'said Tom', the apostrophe in I'm, and a full stop inside the final speech marks. The others are each missing one of these (B: no commas + missing apostrophe; C: missing capital letters; D: missing the second comma and closing full stop).

Answer: B. 'Receive' follows the 'i before e except after c' pattern — the C is followed by EI, not IE. Only option B has this correct.

Answer: A. F→G, I→J, S→T, H→I, giving GJTI.

Answer: B. 'Huge' is the closest synonym for 'enormous' (very large in size). The others are unrelated properties or opposites.

Answer: C. The differences between terms are 3, 5, 7, 9 — each odd number in turn. The next difference is 11, so 26 + 11 = 37.

Answer: A. The relationship is 'adult animal is to its baby'. A kitten is a baby cat; a puppy is a baby dog. The other options are baby animals of different species (bear, horse, cow, bird).

Answer: E. Trumpet, violin, flute and drum are all musical instruments. Painting is a form of visual art, not a musical instrument — it doesn't share the group's defining property.

Answer: B. The number of dots increases by 2 each time (1, 3, 5) — so the next box has 7 dots. Options A, C and D each break the +2 pattern.

Answer: D. Four of the five squares are solid-filled. Square D is outline-only — it doesn't share the property (filled) that the other four have in common.

Answer: B. A 90° clockwise rotation turns 'up' into 'pointing right'. Option B shows exactly that rotation; C is a 180° turn (upside down) and D is 90° anticlockwise (or 270° clockwise).

Answer: B. The rule linking the first pair is 'the shape stays the same but grows larger' — the shape (triangle) doesn't change, only its size does. Applying the same rule to the small square gives a large square: same shape, same fill, just bigger. A repeats the small square unchanged (missed the size-change rule entirely); C keeps the size-change but switches to the wrong shape (a common slip — copying the STEM's shape instead of applying the rule to the target shape); D changes both shape and fill, which the rule doesn't call for at all.

Answer: B. Reading the grid as a simplified matrix: the top row is filled, the bottom row is outline-only; the left column is circles, the right column is squares. The bottom-right cell must follow both rules at once — outline AND square — giving an outline square. (Real GL matrices are usually a 3×3 grid; this is a simplified version of the same idea.)
