Artificial Language Practice Test Questions - Logical Reasoning

Lorv means fire; wes means work; gup means camp; and nid means man. The word nid, which means man, is required at the end of snowman. That rules out choices b and c, which do not end with nid. Choice d is incorrect because nid comes first. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Gren means book; folt means shop; ammo means note; and krix means mark. The word krix, which means mark, is required at the end of landmark. That rules out choices b and c, which do not end with krix. Choice d is incorrect because krix comes first. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Plev means house; dane means work; orik means green; and tuss means boat. The word tuss, which means boat, is required at the end of lifeboat. That rules out choices b and c, which do not end with tuss. Choice d is incorrect because tuss comes first, which would put boat before the other part. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Pel means rain; nart means coat; kost means drop; and wuns means snow. The word nart, which means coat, is required at the start of coatrack. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with pel (rain) and kost (drop). Choice d is incorrect because nart comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Dre means moon; mosk means light; hana means day; and vil means time. The word vil, which means time, is required at the start of timetable. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with mosk (light) and dre (moon). Choice d is incorrect because vil comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Kes means foot; marro means ball; tolv means snow; and brin means man. The word marro, which means ball, is required at the start of ballroom. That rules out choices c and d, which begin with tolv (snow) and brin (man). Choice b is incorrect because marro comes at the end, which would put ball after room. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

In this language the root word veln, which means joy, follows the suffix (ta, ko or pak). Therefore, in the word joyous, which also adds a suffix, the new part comes before the root. The only choice, then, is xanveln, because velnxan would put the new part after the root (the pattern used for a prefix), and choices c and d mean joyful and joyless.

In this language the root word teb, which means work, follows the other part of the compound (plom, rek or zarn). Therefore, in the word homework, the parts are reversed: work comes first, then the new part. The only choice, then, is tebvesh, because veshteb would mean work plus another part, and choice c means workshop. Choice d does not contain teb at all.

In this language the root word tolb, which means play, follows the suffix (ul, grun or mik). Therefore, in the word replay, the root word and the prefix would be reversed in the artificial language: the root comes first, then the new part. The only choice, then, is tolbxan, because xantolb would mean play plus a suffix, and choices c and d mean playmate and playground.

Pirm means book; selg means shelf; haun means story; and dree means teller. The word selg, which means shelf, is required at the start of shelf life. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with pirm (book) and haun (story). Choice d is incorrect because selg comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Klar means door; nubi means bell; tref means front; and womp means page. The word nubi, which means bell, is required at the start of the word bellboy. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with klar (door) and tref (front). Choice d is incorrect because nubi comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Rin means fire; plov means place; gorm means camp; and sute means site. The word plov, which means place, is required at the start of the word placemat. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with rin (fire) and gorm (camp). Choice d is incorrect because plov comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Pel means the root word farm; thi means the suffix -er; durn means the root word cook; ok means the suffix -ed; and vas means the suffix -ing. To make farming you need the root pel (farm) and the suffix vas (-ing), so pelvas is right. Choice b is cooker, choice c is farmed and choice d puts the suffix before the root.

Tav means the root word read; lin means the suffix -er; gor means the root word play; med means the suffix -ed; and bak means the suffix -able. To make readable you need the root tav (read) and the suffix bak (-able), so tavbak is right. Choice b is played, choice c would be read plus -ed and choice d puts the suffix before the root.

Dost means the root word danc(e); the suffix amo means -er; vel means the root word paint; kon means the suffix -ed; and ruz means the suffix -ing. To make painter you need the root vel (paint) and the suffix amo (-er), so velamo is right. Choice b is danced, choice c is dancing and choice d puts the suffix before the root.

Fenn means rain; darq means bow; hulo means coat; and xeb means over. The word darq, which means bow, is required at the start of the word bowtie. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with hulo (coat) and fenn (rain). Choice d is incorrect because darq comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Nusk means black; teld means board; orvi means bird; and pamu means song. The word teld, which means board, is required at the start of the word boardroom. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with orvi (bird) and nusk (black). Choice d is incorrect because teld comes at the end. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Yolt means blue; garn means bird; pell means bell; and mivo means door. The word garn, which means bird, is required at the start of the word birdhouse. That rules out choices b and c, which begin with pell (bell) and yolt (blue). Choice d is incorrect because garn comes at the end, which would put bird after the other part. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Plon means bus; sark means stop; veli means watch; damo means train; and hupe means ticket. Because veli means watch, it must be present at the end of the answer. Choice b would mean bus watch and choice c would mean train watch. Choice d is incorrect because watch would come before stop. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Tarb means football; wend means match; kuli means box; osmu means post; and rane means office. Because kuli means box, it must be present at the end of the answer. Choice b would mean football box and choice c would mean post box. Choice d is incorrect because box would come before match. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

Zolpran means tennis; jemk means court; rull means room; vaxo means entrance; and brem means exam. Because rull means room, it must be present at the end of the answer. Choices b and c are incorrect because zolpran means tennis and vaxo means entrance. Choice d is incorrect because rull comes first, which would put room before court. That leaves choice a as the only possible answer.

X@Y, Y#T, T$V and V@R mean X>Y, Y<=T, T<V and V>R.
Chaining Y<=T and T<V gives Y<V, that is, V>Y. So conclusion III (V@Y) is definitely true.
X>Y and Y<V do not fix X against V, so neither conclusion I (X@V) nor conclusion II (X#V) can be determined.
Only conclusion III is definitely true.

F<=R, R<T, T<V, W>=V. Chaining R<T<V<=W gives R<W (conclusion I). Chaining W>=V>T gives W>T (conclusion II). Chaining F<=R<T<V gives F<V, i.e. V>F (conclusion III). All three are confirmed true.

D>J, J=K, K>=M, M<N. Since J=K and K>=M, J>=M (confirming conclusion II, M<=J). Since D>J and J>=M, D>M (confirming conclusion I). N vs D (conclusion III) cannot be determined.

R>=M and M>V together give R>V (conclusion I confirmed), regardless of whether R=M or R>M. Neither M vs W nor R vs W can be pinned down from the remaining chain.

H@L, L*J, J$K and K%F mean H>L, L=J, J<K and K>=F.
Since L=J and J<K, we get L<K, that is, K>L. So conclusion II (K@L) is definitely true.
Since H>L and L=J, we get H>J. This does not fix H against K, so conclusion III (H@K) cannot be determined.
The value of F relative to L is also not fixed, so conclusion I (L*F) cannot be determined.
Only conclusion II is definitely true.

Tracking oranges added (order 2) and removed (order 4, one orange each time) through the full sequence step by step results in 2 oranges remaining in the basket.

The first month of the second half of the year is July. Using the pattern (A capital by default, then alternating from B: b,C,d,E,f,G,h,I,j,K,l,M,n,O,p,Q,r,S,t,U,v,W,x,Y,z), J is lower, U is capital, L is lower, Y is capital, giving jUlY.

The code reverses each letter's position in the alphabet (A<->Z, B<->Y, etc., i.e. letter x maps to the (27-x)th letter). P(16)->K(11), A(1)->Z(26), S(19)->H(8), S(19)->H(8), giving KZHH.

The rule is: move the first letter of the word to the end, then prepend the letter S. CAT -> ATC -> SATC. DEAR -> EARD -> SEARD. Applying to SING: ING S -> INGS -> SINGS.

The digit common to '134' and '478' is 4, so 4=Good. The digit common to '478' and '729' is 7, so 7=pictures. In '478', the remaining digit 8 must stand for 'see'.

Each letter of BRIDGE is shifted forward by 3 to get EULGJH (B->E, R->U, I->L, D->G, G->J, E->H). Applying the same +3 shift to FRUIT gives IUXLW.

The rule is: reverse the word, then shift each letter forward by 2. EASE reversed is ESAE; shifting each letter by +2 gives GUCG, matching. Applying the same rule to CUT: reversed is TUC, shifted by +2 gives VWE.

Each letter is shifted forward by 2 positions in the alphabet: N(+2)=P, C(+2)=E, L(+2)=N, giving PEN. Similarly for GLI: G(+2)=I, L(+2)=N, I(+2)=K, giving INK.

Each letter is shifted back by 1 position in the alphabet: C(-1)=B, B(-1)=A, E(-1)=D, giving BAD. Similarly for GMBH: G(-1)=F, M(-1)=L, B(-1)=A, H(-1)=G, giving FLAG.

'1' is common to the 1st and 2nd statements, and 'boy' is the common meaning, so 1 = boy. '3' is common to the 1st and 3rd statements, and 'little' is the common meaning, so 3 = little. This leaves '2' as the remaining digit in the 1st statement ('123' = 'bright little boy'), so 2 = bright. Since 2 is not among the given options, the answer is None of these.

'3' is common to the 1st and 2nd statements, and 'hot' is the common meaning, so 3 = hot. '5' is common to the 2nd and 3rd statements, and 'day' is the common meaning, so 5 = day. This leaves '6' as the remaining digit in the 2nd statement ('356' = 'very hot day'), so 6 = very.

'are' is common to the 1st and 2nd statements, and 'is' is the common meaning, so are = is. 'wise' is common to the 2nd and 3rd statements, and 'fast' is the common meaning, so wise = fast. This leaves 'we' as the remaining word in the 2nd statement ('we are wise' = 'train is fast'), so we = train.

'9a' is common to the 2nd and 3rd statements, and 'not' is the common meaning, so 9a = not. '2b' is then common between the remaining parts of the 1st statement (truth, is, eternal) and 3rd statement (truth, does, perish), with 'truth' the shared meaning, so 2b = truth. This leaves {3a, 7c} = {is, eternal} in the 1st statement and {7c, 8b, 3a} = {enmity, is, eternal} in the 2nd, but no further statement distinguishes 3a from 7c, so which one means 'eternal' cannot be determined.

'nae' is common to the 1st and 2nd statements, and 'green' is the common meaning, so nae = green. 'ho' is common to the 2nd and 3rd statements, and 'white' is the common meaning, so ho = white. 'tom' is common to the 1st and 3rd statements, and 'is' is the common meaning, so tom = is. In 'pit nae tom' = 'apple is green', the remaining word pit must mean apple.

'ken' is common to 'ken poti' and 'hu ken sue', and 'good' is the common word in 'good morning' and 'come for good', so ken = good. 'hu' is common to 'hu shang' and 'hu ken sue', and 'come' is common to 'come on' and 'come for good', so hu = come. In 'hu ken sue' = 'come for good', removing hu (come) and ken (good) leaves sue = for.

Water is actually used to wash hands. Since 'water' is called 'breeze' in the given code, the answer is Breeze.

A person actually stands on the floor. Since 'floor' is called 'terrace' in the given code, the answer is Terrace.

Soap is actually used for washing clothes. Since 'soap' is called 'ink' in the given code, the answer is Ink.

Blood is actually red in colour. Since 'red' is called 'white' in the given code, the answer is White.

Each letter is coded by its position in the English alphabet and the positions are summed. BOOK: B(2)+O(15)+O(15)+K(11) = 43. Similarly, PEN: P(16)+E(5)+N(14) = 35.

The letters alternate between shifting back by 1 and forward by 1: B(-1)=A, O(+1)=P, D(-1)=C, Y(+1)=Z, giving APCZ. Similarly for DELHI: D(-1)=C, E(+1)=F, L(-1)=K, H(+1)=I, I(-1)=H, giving CFKIH.

Each letter is shifted backward by 2 positions in the alphabet (wrapping from A to Z): T(-2)=R, R(-2)=P, A(-2)=Y, I(-2)=G, N(-2)=L, giving RPYGL. Similarly for SCOOTER: S(-2)=Q, C(-2)=A, O(-2)=M, O(-2)=M, T(-2)=R, E(-2)=C, R(-2)=P, giving QAMMRCP.

Each letter is shifted forward by its position in the word (1st letter +1, 2nd +2, 3rd +3, and so on): G(+1)=H, O(+2)=Q, O(+3)=R, D(+4)=H, giving HQRH. Similarly for DREAM: D(+1)=E, R(+2)=T, E(+3)=H, A(+4)=E, M(+5)=R, giving ETHER.

The code represents the number of letters in the word. DEAF has 4 letters, giving code 4. Similarly, ACE has 3 letters, giving code 3.

Each letter is coded by its position in the English alphabet and the positions are summed. CONSTABLE: C(3)+O(15)+N(14)+S(19)+T(20)+A(1)+B(2)+L(12)+E(5) = 91. Similarly, STABLE: S(19)+T(20)+A(1)+B(2)+L(12)+E(5) = 59.

Each letter is coded by its position in the English alphabet: E = 5, G = 7, G = 7, giving EGG = 577. Similarly, C = 3, A = 1, B = 2, giving CAB = 312.
