  1. Question 1

    Q1. Read the passage. "When the briefing officer asked who would volunteer to lead the night navigation task, Ali stepped forward though his map-reading score was average. Later, his patrol returned on time while two stronger map readers got lost." What is the best inference about Ali?

    • A) Willingness to lead may matter as much as raw skill in field tasks
    • B) Ali had secretly memorised the entire route beforehand
    • C) The briefing officer had already promised Ali selection
    • D) Average map readers always outperform expert map readers

    Answer: Willingness to lead may matter as much as raw skill in field tasks

    Explanation: Ali volunteered despite average scores yet succeeded where stronger map readers failed. That contrast supports the inference that initiative and leadership can outweigh skill alone in the field.
