Brief Explanations:
A judge influenced by preconceived and fallacious attitudes is prejudiced. Arbitrary means random, judicial is related to the court - system in a neutral sense, ascetic is about self - denial, and overt is open.
Answer:
(3) prejudiced
36.
Explanation:
Step1: Recall average formula
The average of three numbers (a,b,c) is (\frac{a + b + c}{3}). Let the cost of salt be (a = 34), pepper be (b = 11) and sugar be (c). We know (\frac{a + b + c}{3}=27).
Step2: Multiply both sides by 3
(a + b + c=27\times3 = 81).
Step3: Substitute values of (a) and (b)
(34+11 + c=81).
Step4: Simplify left - hand side
(45 + c=81).
Step5: Solve for (c)
(c=81 - 45=36) cents.
Answer:
36 cents
37.
Explanation:
Step1: Use proportion property
If (2:x=x:12.5), then by the property of proportion (x^{2}=2\times12.5).
Step2: Calculate right - hand side
(2\times12.5 = 25).
Step3: Solve for (x)
(x=\sqrt{25}=5) (we consider the positive value as it is a ratio problem in a non - negative context).
Answer:
5
38.
Explanation:
Step1: Set up equation
Let the weight of the flower pot be (x) pounds. Then (x = 1+\frac{x}{2}).
Step2: Subtract (\frac{x}{2}) from both sides
(x-\frac{x}{2}=1).
Step3: Simplify left - hand side
(\frac{x}{2}=1).
Step4: Solve for (x)
(x = 2) pounds.
Answer:
2 pounds

Brief Explanations:
Schizophrenia is a mental illness. Neuralgia is nerve pain, osteomyelitis is a bone infection, myopia is a vision problem, and arthritis is a joint problem.
Answer:
(1) Schizophrenia
40.
Explanation:
Step1: Let the number of dimes be (d), and assume the other coins are nickels ((n)) and pennies ((p)). We know (d + n + p=6) and (10d+5n + p=65). Also, (n + p=6 - d).
Step2: Substitute into the value equation
(10d+5(6 - d)+p=65).
Step3: Expand
(10d+30 - 5d+p=65).
Step4: Simplify
(5d+p=35).
Step5: Try integer values
If (d = 5), then (5\times5+p=35), so (p = 10) and (n=6-(5 + 1)=0).
Answer:
5

Brief Explanations:
Onions are plants and do not have the ability to talk in the human - communication sense. Saying they can talk is absurd. Improbable means not very likely but not as extreme as absurd, irrefutable means cannot be disproved, and debatable means can be argued about.
Answer:
(2) absurd

Brief Explanations:
Taciturnity is a personality trait related to being quiet. Hate and desire are emotions, reputation is what others think of a person, and obsolescence is related to being out - of - date.
Answer:
(4) taciturnity

Brief Explanations:
A telescope is an instrument used to observe stars, just as electronics is related to a television (electronics is the technology behind a television). The moon is a celestial body, chemistry is a science field, science is a broad category, and astronomy is the study of celestial objects.
Answer:
(3) telescope
