Example Question #1 : Wonderlic
1. All writers live in fear of a lonely, penniless death.
2. I live in fear of a lonely, penniless death.
3. I am a writer.
If the first two statements are true, is the third statement true, false, or uncertain?
Uncertain
False
True
Uncertain
There is not enough information given to say if the third statement is true. The relationship between the two sentences is only directly true in one direction, namely that all writers live in fear of a lonely penniless death. It does NOT hold that all people who live in fear of a penniless death are, by definition, writers. It is possible that the speaker is a writer, but the logic of the statement's does not necessitate that this is so.
Example Question #6 : Wonderlic
All ducks like oranges.
Fluffy does not like oranges.
Is Fluffy a duck?
Yes
Maybe
No
No
Suppose Fluffy is a duck. Then by the first statement, Fluffy must like oranges. But by the second statement, Fluffy hates oranges, so this would be a contradiction. Therefore, Fluffy cannot be a duck.
Example Question #1 : Completing Sentences
William was reluctant at first, but he eventually acquiesced to our request.
Select the word that best reflects the meaning of the underlined word.
Enthusiastically agreed
Refused
Agreed
None of these
Agreed
To "acquiesce" to a request is to "agree" or give in to that request. There is no specific element of the word's meaning that indicates this agreement is enthusiastic, and the context of this sentence actually counter-indicates that reading.
