Answers with solutions :
1.(C)There are two alphabetical series here. The first series is with the first letters only: STUVW.
The second series involves the remaining letters: CD, EF, GH, IJ, KL.
2.(A)The middle letters are static, so concentrate on the first and third letters. The series involves an alphabetical order with a reversal of the letters. The first letters are in alphabetical order: F, G, H, I , J. The second and fourth segments are reversals of the first and third segments. The missing segment begins with a new letter.
3.(B)The guitar, violin, and cello are stringed instruments; the flute is a wind instrument.
4.(C) The noun, preposition, and adverb are classes of words that make up a sentence. Punctuation belongs in a sentence, but punctuation is not a class of word.
5.(D)The first three choices are all synonyms.
6.(D) The first premise is A type and distributes the subject. So, the middle term 'waters' which forms its predicate, is not distributed. The second premise is I type and does not distribute either subject or predicate. So, the middle term 'waters' forming its subject is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.
7.(D) Since both the premises are negative, no definite conclusion follows.
8.(E)Every' is equivalent to 'All'. Thus, since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
9.(D) This is a simple addition series with a random number, 8, interpolated as every other number. In the series, 6 is added to each number except 8, to arrive at the next number.
10.(B)
