[0:01]Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. I've been wanting to release this video for the past week, but I've been extremely busy because I have online classes as well. Remember to stay focused, your ability test exam coming up on the 25th of this month. Now, we're going to look at the ability test analysis of 2019, the past paper of 2019. Before you go any further, click down below, hit that subscribe button, hit that bell notification, click on like. Share with your friends.
[0:38]All right, as you can see, this is the 2019 ability test pass paper. Let us get right into it. All right, for items 1 to 4, select the word that best complete complete each statement. All right, number one reads, smoke is to fire as cloud is to, and we have wind, heat, rain, and sun. Smoke is to fire as cloud is to rain. All right, number two. Dog is to puppies as dash is to kittens. We have cow, sheep, cat, and tiger. So dog is to puppies, what is the relationship there? All right, puppies the young of a dog, and kitten is the young of a cat, so that is C. All right, number three. Whisper is to shout as sleep is to, whisper is to shout, so that's the opposite, sleep is to awake, bed, eyes, tired. So since it's the opposite, sleep is to awake. On to the next page. Number four. Hot is to cold as far is to, we have near, slow, distance, and long. Hot is to cold, what is the relationship there? That is opposite, so far is to near. For items 5 and 6, select the word that is a necessary component of the word in bold type. All right, we have a sandwich. Now, which of these is a necessary component of a sandwich? You have A, tomato, B, lettuce, C, meat, and D, bread. All right, so we're going to select bread, because you can't have a sandwich without bread. All right. All right, number six. House. Remember, we're looking for the necessary component. All right, we have balcony, kitchen, roof, and stairway. I did this one in an earlier video, and the option we select is roof. Can't have a house without a roof. All right, numbers for item seven to nine, select the word that does not belong to the group. Now, we have a group here with microwave, refrigerator, blender, and television. All right, now we know that all of these are electrical appliances, but look at microwave, refrigerator, and blender. They are all used in the kitchen.
[3:35]All right.
[3:39]Television would be the one that does not belong to the group in this case.
[3:50]All right. Numbers eight. Look at orange, pineapple, mango, and carrot. All right, which one would be the odd one out there? It would be D.
[4:06]All the others are fruits.
[4:10]All right. Numbers nine, we have passengers, stadium, spectators, and customers. All right, odd one out there would be stadium. All right, so we're going through this rather quickly. All right, let's move to the next page. Read the passage carefully, then answer items 10 and 11. The first green monkey was brought from Africa to Barbados more than 300 years ago. Now the monkeys are in danger because of men. The monkeys often attack fruit trees and birds, so the farmers shoot them. Also, there is less and less woodland on the island because it is being cleared for building. This means it is more difficult for the green monkeys to find places to live, so they move on to farmlands. The mongoose does more damage than monkey. It was brought to the island a hundred years ago to kill rats which were damaging the sugar cane. Now that the rats are under control, the mongooses have started to kill other mammals, reptiles, and birds. All right, so question 10 reads, dash means the same as under control. If something is under control, meaning that they are all dead. So in in the last sentence it says, now that the rats are under control, the mongooses have start to kill other animals, reptiles and birds. Now, under control would mean what? Are the are the mongooses all dead? Are they fewer? Have they increased or are they saved? This option would be fewer.
[6:01]All right. All right, next question items 11. What is the writer, what is the writer most concerned about? That the rats are in danger, the monkeys are in danger, the farms are in danger, the mongooses are in danger. Remember, the main idea of this of this passage was referred to the monkeys, the monkeys are in danger. Next page. The picture below shows the steps involved in baking a cake.
[6:37]Use them to answer item 12. All right, so we see the baker mixing for two, we see the mixture being poured out, for three we see the ingredients. Four, there's a cake and five is the oven. All right, now we definitely would start with the ingredients first. So you know that we'd start with a three. So since we're starting with a three, we would definitely eliminate C and D as an option. Now, after you have the ingredients, what next? Then, we pour out the ingredients in the baking tin, that would be two, then on to the oven, and then the finished product would be the cake. So that option for number 12 would be A. I'll fix that.
[7:32]All right. On to the next one.
[7:38]All right. Identify what comes next in the sequence, seed, plant, blossom. So we have the seed, plant, blossom, and after blossom, we have fruit, so this question came back on the 2020 paper as well. All right, using my finger there to shade. All right. Examine the words closely, then place them in logical sequence. All right, so, one likely, the cow have to be there first. Right, then the skin of the cow, then the skin of the cow would turn to leather, and then from that we would get the belt. So that option is C.
[8:34]All right. All right, so the words in bold are from an artificial language. Beside each word is its meaning in English. So we have Hifonslok means fill cup, we have Merslok means blue cup, and we have Rospekhiphon means land fill. Now it says, which word could mean fill bottle? So for the first two, we realize that we have slock at the end, and we have cup at the end of its two meanings. Right, so therefore we know that slock means cup. So for the first one, we know that Ifon means fill. All right, so it says, which word could mean fill bottle? Right, so starting with fill, so we would have Ifon to start with. The only option there that has Ifon would be A. Right. Moving on. All right, for items 16 to 18, select the most appropriate word to complete each sentence. Yesterday, I learned how to dash flour to make fried dumplings. All right, so we know that we need flour, right? But which of these need is the correct one? All right, is it need, bake, roast? All right, it is option B, knead, K N E A D. That is need that we're talking about. All right. Number 17. For break breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it keeps the brain dash and boost blood sugar levels. All right, does it keep the brain relaxed, clear, sharp, or rested? All right, breakfast keeps the body the brain sharp. That is C. On to question 18. Normalee was given a dash of bamboo earrings for her birthday. So that would be pear. Which of these pair is the correct spelling? It's pair B, P A I R. All right, moving on, moving quickly. All right, so the instructions is missing, but it states state whether each conclusion drawn is best described as true, false, or cannot tell. In items 19 and 20. Let us read the passage first. Source one, passage one. All right, the history of pizza begins in the distant past when various ancient cultures produced basic flatbreads with several toppings. The first pizza was probably made by Italians. Modern pizza developed in Naples, Italy when tomato and toppings were added to the flatbread in the late 18th century. Passage two. Bami is a traditional Jamaican cassava flatbread descended from the simple flatbread eaten by the Taino, Jamaica's original inhabitants. Bami have been consumed long before Columbus came to Jamaica. It is made from cassava flour. It is believed that Bami was first prepared and eaten by native Tainos. All right, so items 19. The Tainos played an important role in the development of pizza. Based on what is said in passage one, we know that it's not true. All right. The Italians, it said that the first pizza was probably made by Italians, so we know that the information is false. All right. So, moving on to items 20. Pizza and Bami have similar beginnings. Yes, they have similar beginnings because they both started from the flatbread. All right, so that information is true. All right. Moving on. Select the number that comes next in the sequence of numbers below. All right, we have six moving to 12, so that's a jump of six. Then we have 12 jumping to 20, that's a jump of eight. Then we have 20 jumping to 26, that's a jump of six. Oh, so this one is going by six, a jump of six, then a jump of eight. All right, so a jump of six from 34 to 40. Then we'd have a jump of eight from 40 to 48. All right. What is thing coming up on the screen? All right.
[13:38]All right. Number 22 reads, the numbers in each diagram below follow the same rule. Use the first three diagrams to help you find the missing number in the fourth diagram. So we see in the first diagram we have five and two and 10. Then next one you have seven, four, 28. So basically what I'm seeing is that the first two, which is five and two is multiplied to give you 10. Four and seven multiply give you 28. Nine and eight multiplied give you 72. So the top one and the one to the left hand corner. Means is to be multiplied together to get the one in the bottom right corner. All right, so we have nothing at the top, so we can do the reverse. Or we can ask ourselves what multiplied by 11 give us 132. We know that answer is 12, or we could actually divide 132 by 11, and we'll still get 12. All right. Moving on. A pattern is shown below. Look at the first two rows in the pattern to help you work out the missing number in the third row. All right, so we see six and then we have move to six over seven. We have seven is one and 14 is the spot is blank. All right, so six value six out of seven, and seven values one. Based on what we're seeing here for the first two is that the entire whole is out of seven. So six would be actually six out of seven and seven out of seven would be equal to one whole. All right. Now look at 14. 14 over 7 would actually be equal to two when you reduce. All right. Moving on again. All right. Andrew represented the shapes below on a chart. All right, now this is just using your eyes to make sure you're on the right path. So we we see a circle there, we see two circles. So therefore, we're going to have to look for one with two circles. All right. We're going to have to look for one with two circles. All right, so which one has two circles? That's four, that's IV, four. All right, look for one to many triangles, one, two, three, three triangles. Now this chart, this bar graph is numbered by two, so three would be between would be between two and four. So the only chart there that has that meets the criteria would be four, chart four, and that would be D. All right. All right. Moving on again. A survey was done and 40 grade six students were asked about their favorite sport. The following information was gathered. No more than 10 students chose volleyball. More students chose football as their favorite sports than the number of students who chose volleyball. More students chose track and field as their favorite sports than football and volleyball together. Now, which chart best represents the information gathered from the survey? All right, so chart one is out, chart two is out. All right, now, it also said no more than 10 students chose volleyball. So volleyball could not be more than a quarter. All right, so the only chart there that is suitable would be chart three. So that would be C. All right. All right, now for items 26, six out of eight parts represents three-quarter of a circle. Then two out of eight parts represents the remainder which would be a quarter of a circle. That would be C again. All right. Items 27. David is twice as old as Rachel. Peter is five years older than David and Kim is three years younger than Rachel. Which represents the order of children by age from youngest to oldest? Now, David is twice as old as Rachel, meaning he is two times older than Rachel. All right, Peter is five years older than David. All right, so we know that Peter is older than David there, and Kim is three years younger than Rachel. All right, so based on what we're seeing here, Kim is the youngest, then we have Rachel, then David, then Peter. So that would be D. Moving on again. A box of 12 light bulbs fell. Some of them are broken. Which of the following numbers could not be the number of unbroken light bulbs? And we have two, seven, 10, and 14. The one that could definitely definitely not be the answer would definitely be 14, because we started with 12 light bulbs. All right. 29. The numbers one through 10 are placed in a bag. Paul picks a number from the bag, then performs the operations stated under column A and column B on the number. The number multiplied by itself for column A, then add one, for column B, double the number, then subtract one. From the information given, which statement is correct? The number in column A is greater than the number in column B. Reading that option. All right, that sounds more likely. But let us read all the options too. All right, the numbers in column B is greater than, no. Can't be B. The number in column A is equal to the number in column C. The column B, no. All right, for this one, the answer is definitely A, where the number in column A is greater than the number in column B. All right, because the number multiplied by itself. All right, let us use five for example. Five multiplied by itself would give us five times five, which would be 25. Then add one, give you 26. Let us double five and then subtract one. If we double five and subtract one, we get five plus five would be 10 minus one, we get nine. So it's definitely column A. The number in column A is greater than the number in column B. All right. We are at items 30 now, guys, we're getting there. The diagram below shows two rectangular boxes with a striped ribbon wrapped around each. Now, look at the first one. Well, both of them are the same sizes, but look at how the ribbon is wrapped. Now, the side that is the longest side, the ribbon wraps around that side. All right, so we have the ribbon wrapping around four centimeter plus six centimeter plus four centimeters plus six. So six and six is 12 and two four is eight, so that's 20 centimeters of ribbon being wrapped. The next, for box B, we have the ribbon going a length of eight centimeters, then four centimeters, which would be the 12 centimeters. Then eight again, it would be 20 again, 20 plus four, which would be 24 centimeters. So the ribbon is racked around box B, 24 centimeters. All right, given that the boxes are the same dimensions, which statement is correct? The ribbon on box A is longer than the ribbon on box B. All right, the ribbon on box B is longer than the ribbon on box A. All right, so this answer is B.
[23:51]All right.
[23:57]Moving on. 31. The diagram below shows a parallelogram PQRS. Which of the following represents the greatest length? All right, so the greatest length, the first option says PQ and PS. Now PQ is a short side. PS is one of the long sides. Long side and short side. Um, option B, PQ and SR. So another short side and so the two short side, those two couldn't be the longest. We have QR, which is a long side, and PS, which is another long side. And then for the last one, D, we have QS, which would be the diagonal and SR, which is a short side. So the one that would be the greatest length would be the two long sides of the parallelogram, which would be C. All right, so let me just circle this properly. All right. 32. Kay estimated the number of people in a stadium to be 32,000. Which of the following numbers could not be the actual number of people in the stadium? All right, so all of these are above 32,000, but look at D. D is almost at 33,000. That could not be a good estimate. So the option there is D. All right. All right. Dennis is numbering the pages of his book. Page one is a right hand page, page two a left hand page, and faces page three, a right hand page. Which two pages will face each other? All right, so page two is a left hand page, and page three is a right hand page, and faces each other. All right, so which two pages will face each other? You need to continue on that same path by adding two each time. So you start with page two and three, you move up to four and five, six and seven, and you move on. And you'll get to if you continue on that same path, you would get 22 and 23 together. All right. Items 34. Kelly wants to find out how many Jamaican one-dollar coins will cover the surface of her book. Which information is necessary for her to make this decision? All right, the number of pages in the book. Remember, to cover the surface of the book, we're looking for area. All right, so that couldn't work. All right, the number of coins that will fit along the edge. The thickness of the book, the total number of coins that she has. The only one here suitable would be B, the number of coins that fit along the edge of the book, because we know the amount that could fit for the length. All right. Now, items 35, the tuck shop sold three different types of snacks over a three week period. The table shows the quantity that was sold and the amount of money made. Use the information in the table to answer question 35 and 36. All right, 35 reads. All right. In which week did the tuck shop of the highest sales? So we have the three weeks coming down. All you need to do is to add the amount of money made, and then would have the the highest one. So the highest one would be week three. All right, which would be C.
[28:32]All right, item 36, which snack had its unit price changed in week three? All right, now look at banana chips. The unit price for banana chips for week one was $20, because he sold 12 and made 240. It was they sold 14 in week two, and they made $280. Now, look in week three where they sold 30 and only made $300. So, in the first two weeks, they were selling one for $20, and in week three, it's they sold one for $10. So the unit price was changed for banana chips. All right.
[29:31]All right. Items 37, the diagram below shows all Paula spends her earnings in one month. All right, so if Paula spends $8,000 on bills for the month, about how much money did she save? So, so, savings is showing basically a fraction of 1/8. And if a half is 8,000, then the entire whole would be 16,000. All right, a quarter of 16,000 would be 4,000. All right, so if a quarter is 4,000, 1/8 would be 2,000, so that would be C. All right. A boat has a crew of five people. It can carry a total of only 16 people. How many trips would it need to make to carry 75 passengers to an island? Now, if the boat has a crew of five people, and it can only carry 16 at a time, it would be safe to say that it can only take 11 passengers per trip. If that is the case, then we'd have to divide 75 by 11. We'd get 6.8, so the closest one to that would be seven. All right, so the the boat can make seven trips with the passengers. All right. 39. The graph shows the rainfall in centimeters of three region over a four-month period. Let us observe the diagram, the graph and see which statement is true. It says, more rainfall fell in June than in July. And they're referring to all three regions now. More rainfall fell in June than in July. Let look where June is and where July is. And we realize for for region A, that is true, for region B, that is also true, and for C, they basically leveled. So based on what we're seeing here, A is correct, so we don't need to go any further with that. All right. For the last question now, guys. A bag has a certain number of red, blue and green marbles. Half of the marbles are red. There is the same number of blue marbles as there are green marbles. Which of the following could not be the number of marbles in the bag? Based on what we're seeing here, half of the marbles are red, and the next half is shared equally between green and blue. So, which of the following could not be the same number of marbles? So basically, the the number of marbles would would have to be divisible by four. And to look at all the options there, the only one that is not divisible by four would be C.
[33:26]All right, so that is the end of our analysis of the 2019 ability test pass paper. Thank you for watching this video. Don't forget to like, share, subscribe, and hit the bell notification.
