Older is used for general age comparisons and applies to objects, animals, or people outside the family. It is also the mandatory choice when followed by the word "than" (e.g., "My brother is older than me").

Sample Question 7
Grammar
Hard • Intelligence Tests
Will you stay here for โโ days?
A
Some
B
A few
C
The few
D
Few
โ Correct Answer: B - A few
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
The sentence requires a determiner that means a small, positive number of days:
A few means "some" or a small number. It has a positive meaning and is used perfectly here to politely ask if someone is staying for a small amount of time.
Few (Choice D) means "hardly any" or practically none. It has a negative connotation and would imply you wish they weren't staying, which doesn't fit the question format.
Some (Choice A) is generally avoided directly before "days" in this specific type of question structure, as "a few" is the idiomatic standard for a short period.
The few (Choice C) means "not many, but all of what is available", which requires a modifying clause afterward (e.g., "the few days that you have left").

Sample Question 8
Grammar
Hard • Intelligence Tests
Two thirds of the city โโ in ruins.
A
Is
B
Will
C
Were
D
Have
E
Are
โ Correct Answer: A - Is
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
When a sentence begins with a fraction (like two-thirds), the verb agrees with the noun that follows the preposition "of":
If the noun is singular or uncountable (e.g., the city), the verb must be singular (is / was).
If the noun is plural (e.g., the buildings), the verb must be plural (are / were).
Since "the city" is a singular noun, the verb must be singular. Choices B, D, and E are incorrect because will requires a base verb (will be), while have and are are plural.
If the noun is singular or uncountable (e.g., the city), the verb must be singular (is / was).
If the noun is plural (e.g., the buildings), the verb must be plural (are / were).
