Can you pass a 1950's school exam for 10 year olds?

These are the same questions we learned this year and in earlier grades but I suck at grammar!
 
Not able to take the test, will not load on my iPad properly.
However...The Dailymail will give me ads & pictures of women with large cleavage.
I hope I won’t get any weird or questionable emails now...
Sheesh...
 
Well, there should have been machine tool or motorcycle) ads then, can’t remember ever researching (or wanting to research) the Kardashians (sp?) ??
 
14.5 out of 15

I took umbrage with the question: Which word has a different meaning?

Hard, Solid, Rough, Firm.

Solid balsa wood is not hard. But it could be rough. Firm??? We flew model airplanes made out of it.

Subjective trick questions. Disliked them when I was in school. Still do.


Best Regards,
Bob

Had to go back to Grammar school with my thinking;
15 of 15
Grammar school was in the 50s
 
14/15 but in my defense, I didn't have my coffee yet...

Another 15/15. For some reason it seemed a whole lot simpler today than it did in 1958. I probably cheated though. When the #2 lead on my pencil broke I replaced it with the trusty calculator on my phone

No calculator needed nor did they have any back then:
ie: 3755 x 25 / 125
simplify to 3755 x 1 / 5
then 5x = 3755 - eliminates 650 and 852 since 5 x 0 and 5 x 2 = zero for units position, therefore 751 must be the answer
ie: divisible by 4
  • 214
  • 230
  • 226
  • 224
  • 218 Just divide each by 2 twice, the only one that works is 224

Rough is the only adj that refers to texture
