Sample SHL Verbal Reasoning Aptitude Test Questions
Read the passage and answer the associated questions
It has long been standard practice for the coal ash which is generated from thermal power plants in South Korea to be sold to cement manufacturing companies. These companies are able to utilize this raw material in the methods they employ for producing cement. However, the recession we witnessed in the construction industry in the 1990s led to an oversupply of cement and therefore less demand for coal ash. As a means of dealing with this issue, representatives from the cement industry put forward the idea that the Ministry of Energy should deregulate the use of industrial waste (such as coal ash) used in kilns.
It was believed that allowing coal ash to be used as kiln fuel would not only increase recycling rates of such waste but would also help improve the management of the cement industry. Indeed, the use of industrial waste in kilns did see the recycling rate also increase by around 20% over a seven-year period. Sadly though, the installation standards pertaining to exhaust gases in waste recycling and treatment facilities were not sufficient. This has led to a lack of appropriate monitoring of the type and volume of waste disposed of in kilns and we have seen a rise in the ill health of workers in some parts of the industry.
Question 1
Prior to the 1990s, coal ash could not be used as a kiln fuel in South Korea.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot Tell
Solution: The answer is Cannot say as the passage tells us that the changes put forward were to ‘deregulate’ the use of industrial waste (such as coal ash) for use in kilns. This implies that there were regulations previously but we cannot say for definite whether coal ash was used allowed to be used as a kiln fuel. If it was ‘deregulated’ it implies that before that there were regulations but we don’t know exactly what they were.
Question 2
The Ministry of Energy proactively sought ways to handle the excess coal ash in an environmentally friendly way.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot Tell
Solution
This is false as the passage tells us that it was representatives from the cement industry who put forward the idea of deregulation to help with the excess of coal ash from thermal power plants.
Question 3
Deregulation of coal ash as a kiln fuel has resulted in positive outcomes overall.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot Tell
Solution
The final paragraph tells us that there has been a rise in ill health as a direct result of the lack of sufficient installation standards. There were some positive results but not all.
Question 4
Coal ash is classed as industrial waste material in South Korea.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot Tell
Solution
The passage talks about ‘…deregulate the use of industrial waste (such as coal ash)…’ thus we can deduce that coal ash is classed as industrial waste.
Question 5
Coal ash is in higher demand when the construction industry is in recession.
A. True
B. False
C. Cannot Tell
Solution This is not true as the passage tells us that the recession led to less demand for coal ash.
