Answer Key to Test Wiseness Test (No peeking until you're finished!)

---

1 = a

Only "overture" works to complete the sentence, because the sentence ends with "an"

2 = b

The "inkle" in the question is repeated in answer (b)

3 = b

Victorious is the "odd one out" because the other three answers all mean "defeated"

4 = d

the last alternative is significantly longer (added detail usually indicates right answer)

5 = d

Nepal is "odd one out"; other three are all English-speaking, Industrial countries

6 = c

when there is nothing else to go on, choose "(c)" because many teachers use "(c)" more than any other letter

7 = b

(b) "glucose" is the only one spelt correctly. Teachers often proofread a test by reading the question and the correct answer, so remaining typos usually indicate wrong alternative

Note that even though students do not know any of the course content, or have any grasp of the meaning of the question, they can still score 100% on this quiz if they are test-wise.
