Dharik lives in a house on a straight street. For years, there have been 16 houses on his street to the right of his house and 17 houses on his street to the left of his house. Last year, 5 new houses were built on the same street even further to the left of those houses to the left of Dharik’s house. If these are the only houses on this street, how many houses are on this street?

16 houses + 17 houses + 5 new houses + Dharik's house
While alcohol causes obvious and immediate changes in moods and behaviours, nicotine has ________ effects, but is equally deleterious to health over prolonged periods of time.
4. Less conspicuous
The key words in this sentence are “While” and “But”. Both these words represent contrast.
While alcohol causes obvious and immediate changes, nicotine ...(try to use your own word or phrase here).. does NOT cause immediate or obvious changes. So we might think that nicotine is less harmful. But the word immediately after that “BUT” tells us that it is wrong to think so: Nicotine is equally harmful to health.
So the word or phrase in the blank has to mean “less obvious or immediate”.
Choice D is the best option.

Each month, Renaldo earns a commission of 10.5% of his total sales for the month, plus a salary of $2,500. If Renaldo earns $3,025 in a certain month, what were his total sales?
a. 525
b. 3000
c. 5000
c. 6225
c. 5000
If Renaldo earned $3,025, then his earnings from the commission on his sales are $3,025 - $2,500 = $525. So, $525 is 10.5% of his sales. Set up an equation to find the total sales:
525 = 10.5/100x
525/1 = 10.5/100x
(525 x 100) = (1x10.5)x
52500=10.5x
52500/10.5 = 5000
3. Although the lab assistant openly apologized for allowing the samples to spoil, her ______________ did not appease the research head, and she was let go.

The clue in this sentence is the detour road sign “although,” which indicates contrast. Her “open” apology would be expected to “appease” her boss, but she was fired anyway; paraphrasing further, she did something good but suffered bad consequences. The word in the blank will express the good thing she did, so you can predict that the correct answers will be similar to “honesty.”
