Questions 1 to 6:
I. Two-way roads exist among the following towns
surrounding a mountain:
Between M and N
Between M and O
Between O and R
Between R and T
Between R and U
Between T and P
Between P and S
II. There is also a one-way road between town P and town
N; the permitted direction of travel is from P to N.
III. None of these roads intersect each other except at the
towns.
IV. There are no other towns or roads in the vicinity.
V. Bicycles must follow the direction established for general
traffic on roads.

1. To bicycle from S to N by road, it is necessary to go to or

through town
A. M B. P C. R D. T E. U

2. If a rock slide temporarily makes the road between O and

R impassable, then in order to reach M by road from U, a
bicyclist would have to go to or through a total of how many
other towns besides M and U?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 E. 6

3. If a bridge on the road between M and O is washed out,

making the road impassable, a bicyclist would NOT be able
to go by road from
A. N to M B. N to S C. P to M D. P to S E. R to M

4. If a rock slide blocks a lane of the road from R to T, with

the result that travel on the road can go only one way, from
R to T, it will still be possible to go on a bicycle by road from
P to
A. N and /or S but impossible to go to M, O, R, T, or U
B. N, S, and /or T but impossible to go to M, O, R, or U
C. M, N, O, and /or T, but impossible to go to S, R, or U
D. M, O, R, S, and /or T but impossible to go to N or U
E. M, N, O, R, S, T, and /or U

5. Assume that one lane of the road from O to R is closed

for repairs, with the result that travel on the road goes only
one way, from R to O. It will then be possible to travel by
road on a bicycle among any of the towns M, N, O, P, R, S,
T, and U, among which such travel was possible before the
closing, if which of the following one-way temporary roads
is constructed?
A. From M to U
B. From P to R
C. From S to R
D. From S to U
E. From T to U
