It is up to you how you practice most effectively, but we suggest you work through the critical thinking test in its entirety before looking at these solutions.  \nIf you believe there are any mistakes in these solutions we would love to be notified so that  \nwe can correct them. Please let us know at [info@assessmentday.co.uk](info@assessmentday.co.uk)  \nAssessmentDay Practice Aptitude Tests  \nSection 4: Inferences  \nInstructions:  \nAn inference is a conclusion drawn from observed or supposed facts. For example, if someone presses a light switch but the light does not turn on, they might infer that the filament has burnt out. However, inferences may or may not be correct. For example, in this case, the bulb could be missing, or a fuse could be blown.  \nThe questions in this section of the test will begin with a statement of facts that must be regarded as true. After each statement, you will be presented with possible inferences which might be drawn from facts in the statement. Analyse each inference separately and decide on its degree of truth.  \nFor each inference, you will be provided with 5 possible answers: True, Probably True, More Information Required, Probably False, and False.  \nSelect:  \nTrue, if you believe the inference is definitely true, i.e. it correctly follows beyond a reasonable doubt.  \nProbably True, if, based on the facts at hand, you think the inference is probably true; that it is more likely to be true than false, but not true beyond a reasonable doubt.  \nMore Information Required, if you decide that there is not enough data to make a decision based on the provided facts (or lack of facts) .  \nProbably False, if, based on the facts presented, you think the inference is probably false; [i.e. it](i.e. it) is more likely to be false than true, but there is not enough evidence to suggest that it is definitely false.  \nFalse, if you think the inference is definitely false; i.e. it must be incorrect because it misrepresents the facts provided or contradicts the facts provided in the statement.  \nHave a look at the example questions below with the correct answers given.  \nStatement One:  \nAlthough it is agreed that China is rapidly modernising its army, there is some doubt surrounding the exact amount it is spending. The research institute ‘PIPPI’, submits that the annual Chinese defence spending has risen from almost $31 billion in 2000 to over $120 billion in 2010. This figure is almost double the official figure published by the Chinese government, who fail to include many other areas , such as research and development in the official figure each year. In 2010, the United States government spent around $400 billion on military defence. Based on the current level of military growth, statistics suggest that China’s defence spending could overtake America’s by 2030. In addition to military spending, China’s army continues to enjoy the largest number of people within the ranks of its army than any other country.  \nQ1  \nInference 1: The official figures published by the Chinese government in relation to their military spending are thought to be misleading.  \nTrue  \nProbably True  \nMore Information Required  \nProbably False  \nFalse  \nCorrect answer: True  \nExplanation: The passage notes that the Chinese government leave certain areas out of their calculations when creating their official figures for military spending. This suggests that their official figure is misleading. In this way, the inference is true.  \nQ2  \nInference 2: It is known that the Chinese government leave areas such as ‘research’ and‘development’ from their of","cbCaiqbRsJyTlGuh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqbRsJyTlGuh","pdf",231353,"English","# Section 4: Inferences\n## Instructions\n## Example questions and explanations","[{\"question\":\"What does the document mean by an 'inference'?\",\"answer\":\"An inference is a conclusion drawn from observed or supposed facts.
