To solve this question, the user needs to know the ratio concept. The given statement is a ratio between 16 hours and 1 day and 20 days and June's length.

We can represent this ratio as follows:

16 hours : 1 day :: 20 days : June's length

To find out whether this statement is true or false, we need to check whether the ratio is correct.

We know that one day has 24 hours. Therefore, 16 hours is equal to 16/24 = 2/3 of a day.

Let's assume June has x days. According to the ratio:

16/24 = 2/3 = 20/x

Solving for x, we get:

x = (20 * 24)/2 = 240

Therefore, June's length is 240 days.

The ratio can be rewritten as:

2/3 : 1 :: 20 : 240

Simplifying the ratio, we get:

2 : 3 :: 1 : 12

This ratio is true.

Therefore, the answer is:

The Answer is: A. True

To solve this question, the user must visualize the arrangement of the words as described in the problem.

Starting with the word "SLY," we write "TAN" underneath it, aligning the letters vertically. Then, we write "TOT" underneath "TAN," also aligning the letters vertically.

  S  L  Y
  T  A  N
  T  O  T

Now, we can see that the letters "S," "A," and "T" are aligned diagonally from top right to bottom left. Therefore, the word "SAT" is formed diagonally.

The answer is: A. True

To solve this question, the user needs to identify the seventh vowel in the given sentence and determine whether it is the letter "a" or not.

The given sentence is "The seventh vowel appearing in this sentence is the letter 'a'."

The vowels in the sentence are: e, e, e, a, i, i, a, i, e, e, i, a, e, e.

Counting from left to right, the seventh vowel in the sentence is the letter "i" and not "a". Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: B. False
