5. Directions:?In the following question choose the set of numbers from the four alternative sets that is similar to the given set.

Given set: (10, 14, 17)

A. (4, 11, 14)

B. (9, 12, 15)

C. (8, 13, 18)

D. (6, 9, 12)

E. None of these

ANSWER:?A

EXPLANATION

The pattern followed in (10, 14, 17) is:

Sum of all the numbers = 10 + 14 + 17 = 41 which is a prime number.

Now we will check for given sets,

(4, 11, 14) ? 4 + 11 + 14 = 29

(9, 12, 15) ? 9 + 12 + 15 = 36

(8, 13, 18) ? 8 + 13 + 18 = 39

(6, 9, 12) ? 6 + 9 + 12 = 27

Here 29 is the only prime number.

Hence (4, 11, 14) is the correct answer.

Note: A prime number is the number which is divisible by 1 and itself else all are composite numbers.

6. Pick out the most effective words from the given words to fill in the blank to make the sentence meaningfully complete.

You ______ when I ________? the television yesterday at eight p.m.

A. were telephoning, watched

B. was telephoning, was watching

C. had telephoned, was watched

D. telephoned, was watching

E. telephones, watched

?ANSWER:?D

EXPLANATION

For the first blank, simple past tense should be used and for the second, past continuous tense should be used. When simple past tense is used with past continuous tense in a sentence, simple past is used for a short action and past continuous is used for the relatively longer action.? (eg, I was sleeping when the alarm rang ? sleep is a long action, alarm ringing is a short action). Past continuous is used to express action that began in a particular moment in the past. Simple past tense is used for an action that began and ended in the past. Telephoning is a shorter action than watching television, so the correct option would be ?telephoned? for the first blank and watching television is a longer action, so the past continuous form of watching, ?was watching? will be used in the second blank.
