The letters of the word "sponged" are S-P-O-N-G-E-D. If we write these letters in reverse order, we get D-E-G-N-O-P-S. As you can see, the letters are in reverse alphabetical order. Therefore, the answer is True.

Correct option: A

To answer this question, we need to understand that reading numbers backwards means that we read them from right to left. So, if we read the numbers 3-7-2-4-8-1-5 from right to left, we get 5-1-8-4-2-7-3. Therefore, the answer is A) True.

Correct Option: A

Explanation for the Correct Option:

The correct option is A because if we read the numbers 3-7-2-4-8-1-5 from right to left, we get 5-1-8-4-2-7-3. This is because reading numbers backwards means that we read them from right to left.

To solve this question, the user needs to know the spelling of the word "FIN" and the number of toothpicks required to create each letter of the word.

Option A is correct. It is possible to spell the word "FIN" using exactly seven toothpicks without breaking or bending any of them.

Here's how to do it:

F   I   N
|   |    |
|   |    |
 --   |   --
     |   |
     |   |
     --  --

The toothpicks are arranged in the shape of the letters "F," "I," and "N," with no letter sharing a toothpick used by another letter. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

The answer is: A

To solve this question, the user needs to know the properties of both squares and hexagons.

A square is a four-sided polygon with all sides of equal length and all interior angles equal to 90 degrees. A regular hexagon is a six-sided polygon with all sides of equal length and all interior angles equal to 120 degrees.

It is known that a square can fit inside a circle whose diameter is equal to the length of the square's sides. The circle circumscribing a regular hexagon has a diameter equal to the length of the hexagon's sides.

Therefore, if the square's sides each measure ten centimeters, then the diameter of the circumscribing circle is also ten centimeters. Since the square can fit inside this circle, it can also fit inside the regular hexagon whose sides each measure ten centimeters.

Hence, the correct option is:

The Answer is: A. True

To solve this question, we need to find the sum of all the odd numbers from zero to 16 and determine if it is an even number or not.

The odd numbers from zero to 16 are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.

To find the sum, we can add all these numbers together:

1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 = 64.

Now, we need to determine if 64 is an even number or not.

An even number is any integer that is divisible by 2 without leaving a remainder.

To check if a number is even, we can divide it by 2.

If the remainder is 0, then the number is even.

If the remainder is not 0, then the number is odd.

Let's divide 64 by 2:

64 ÷ 2 = 32.

Since the remainder is 0, we can conclude that 64 is an even number.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. True
