Question 02

Suzie is a spaced out dreamer. She would rather be married than alone, and she likes to go for a walk on Sunday rather than on Tuesday. Based on this knowledge of Suzie's preferences, which item in each of these pairs would Suzie prefer?

Beef or Venison

Singular or Plural

Nepal or India

Meringue or Lemon

Alps or Ural

Answer:

Suzie's preferences seem to be based on our solar system. The hint was that she is "spaced out". The first three letters of each thing she prefers is also the first three letters of a large object in our solar system. The question tells you she prefers married over alone (Mars); and she prefers Sunday rather than Tuesday (Sun).

Her preferences are underlined:

Beef or Venison

Singular or Plural

Nepal or India

Meringue or Lemon

Alps or Ural
