  1. 5

  2. 3

  3. 0

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a wordplay riddle. Grammatically, you can only subtract 5 from 25 once - after that, you're subtracting from 20, 15, 10, or 5. The question asks 'how many times' (frequency), not 'how many times repeatedly'. 'None of these' is correct because options 5, 3, and 0 all miss the linguistic trick.
