To qualify for the office manager's job, 55-year-old Mariel must take a series of psychological tests. Her performance on the test of speedy reasoning and abstract reasoning is likely to be poorer than if she had taken it as a 25-year-old. What was this particular test assessing

The abstract reasoning test is also called the conceptual reasoning test. It measures your lateral thinking skills or fluid intelligence, which are your ability to quickly identify patterns, logical rules and trends in new data, integrate this information, and apply it to solve problems. It measures what most people would refer to as ‘ street smarts’ and the ability to ‘think on your feet’ .

What do employers seek to learn from your abstract reasoning score?

The ability to quickly identify relationships, patterns and trends in organisational data, such as customers’ purchasing behaviour or market research, is crucial to your capacity to think strategically, grasp the bigger picture and quickly solve problems. Therefore, employers typically expect you to at least have reasonable abstract reasoning capabilities.

Employers use the result of your abstract reasoning test to learn the extent to which you are:

capable of efficiently learning new skills

capable of thinking strategically about problems and developments within the relevant business field

capable of quickly analysing new information, integrating it to the overall scheme of things, and applying it to solve work-related problems

capable of processing and analysing new work-related data in a logical manner.

you are certainly talking about this picture:

a: is the label of the white square, it is showing the  replication fork, formed by helicase (d) ==> so it is the site of dna separation and replication 

b: is a new dna brand that is following directly the replication fork, so it is continuous ==> built continuously from 5' to 3

c: dna polymerase cannot replicate dna on its own, it needs the of their proteins, and one of them plays the role of a clamp which fixes  the dna with the dna template and increases  the processivity of the enzyme. ==>   stops polymerase from falling off the  template.

d: is the enzyme responsible for forming the replication fork (helicase) ==> unwinds and separates dna into two strands

e: is the delayed strand, it is built  in the opposite sense of the helicase, so dna will be built in fragments ==> built  fragments from 5' to 3 joins

and finally f: is the enzyme that builds  the new dna strand (dna polymerase) ==>   adds nucleotides to make a new dna helix.
