7 © UNSW Global Pty Limited QUESTION KEY KEY REASONING LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY 1 B The KEY shows what the symbols mean. The town which has sunny weather and no clouds, thunderstorms or rain is Browntown. Easy 2 B The slug has its tail in line with the first mark on the ruler. The head of the slug is in line with the 4 mark on the ruler, so the length of the slug must be 4 centimetres Easy-medium 3 C Each glass contains the same amount of water, but the temperature of the water is either 45 °C or 65 °C. Salt dissolves faster in water that is 65 °C. Salt dissolves faster when the water is stirred. So the glass that contains water at 65 °C and which has been stirred should dissolve the salt fastest. Medium 4 A The plant shown in the picture is green with orange flowers. The butterfly that is green with orange spots (A) will match the colour of the plant best, so birds may not see them. The colours of the other butterflies do not match the plant so birds will see these butterflies more easily. Medium 5 B The wind that is blowing on the beach can move the flag, the kite, the waves and the sails on the boat. The only picture that shows all these objects facing the same direction is picture (B). Hard LEGEND Level of difficulty refers to the expected level of difficulty for the question. Easy more than 70% of the candidates will choose the correct option. Medium more than 50–70% of the candidates will choose the correct option. Medium/Hard more than 30–50% of the candidates will choose the correct option. Hard Less than 30% of the candidates will choose the correct option.
