UCAT Question Analysis - Abstract Reasoning Q13
Some astronauts and their controllers on Earth develop a code to communicate with each other. Interpret the following messages as best you can.
What is the best interpretation of the following code?
G (8,6,5), A, 11, 14
Ice forms at night-time
Ice is present on the moon and some stars
It's snowing from the heavens
There is ice in space
It is very cold in space
Answer and Explanation
G (8,6,5), A, 11, 14 translates to Add (Sky, Stars, Moon), Develop, Frozen, Water
The correct answer is 'Ice forms at night-time'
Add (Sky, Stars, Moon) can be interpreted as 'night-time' '
Frozen water' is 'Ice'
'Develop' is 'Forms'
'Ice is present on the moon and some stars' is not correct because the correct answer offers a better interpretation of 'develop' and there is no use of 'sky'
'It's snowing from the heavens' is a possible correct answer, but is not as good an interpretation as the correct answer as there is no use of 'develop'
'There is ice in space' does not use 'develop'
'It is very cold in space' does not use 'water'
