Question

Consider the highlighted phrases in the following sentences:
Highways have milestones stretched in a continuous series.
A healthy adult’s heart beats at 72 beats per minute.
The minute hand of a clock rotates at 6 degrees per minute.
A building is constructed with an underlying concrete structure consisting of a series of beams and nodes.
Choose the option(s) which is/are true:

• A. The phrases represent a structure of a specific element arranged in a non-repetitive manner.
• B. The scales are indicative of either space or time.
• C. The phrases represent a structure of a specific element arranged in a repetitive manner.
• D. The scales are indicative of both volume and time.

Hint:

When analyzing descriptions of patterns or scales, consider whether the arrangement is repetitive or non-repetitive and the context of space, time, or volume.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, C

1. The milestones, heartbeats, and clock rotations represent repetitive occurrences, while the building structure represents a fixed repetitive arrangement of beams and nodes.
2. The scales described are indicative of either space (highways, beams) or time (heartbeats, clock rotations).
3. Hence:
- Option \(B\) is true as the scales are indicative of either space or time.
- Option \(C\) is true as the highlighted phrases describe repetitive arrangements or occurrences.
- Option \(A\) is false because the structures described are repetitive, not non-repetitive.
- Option \(D\) is false because the scales are not indicative of volume.
Conclusion: The correct options are \(B\) and \(C\).
