Answer Key

1. C — 32
Each number is double the previous number: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.

2. C — Carrot
Apple, banana, and orange are fruits, while a carrot is a vegetable.

3. B — All Bloops are Lazzies
If every Bloop is a Razzie and every Razzie is a Lazzie, then every Bloop must also be a Lazzie.

4. D — 48
Each number is double the previous number: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48.

5. C — 90 degrees
At exactly 3:00, the minute hand points to 12 and the hour hand points to 3, creating a 90-degree angle.

6. C — 9
All the other numbers in the group are prime numbers. Nine is not a prime number.

7. B — 9
The phrase “all but 9” means that 9 sheep remain.

8. B — I
The sequence skips one letter each time: A, C, E, G, I.

9. A — 5 minutes
Each machine makes one item in 5 minutes. If all 100 machines work at the same rate simultaneously, they can make 100 items in 5 minutes.

10. A — $0.05
If the ball costs $0.05, the bat costs $1.05. Together, they cost $1.10.
