Here are the answers to the statements:

  1. False - The words "auctioned," "education," and "cautioned" contain the same letters but not in the same quantities or order; they are anagrams.

  2. True - John (85) + Jeff (105) = 190, which is more than 200. However, Jake (115) can weigh 200 with John (85) or Jeff (105) as 200 is less than their combined weight.

  3. False - The vowels in the sentence are: e, a, e, i, o, e, i, i, e, a (10 vowels total, and "a" is not the seventh).

  4. True - Nine chickens (18 legs), two dogs (8 legs), and three cats (12 legs) total 38 legs. The statement about 40 is incorrect.

  5. True - 16 hours is 2/3 of a day (24 hours), and 20 days is 2/3 of June's length (30 days).

  6. False - In the English alphabet, there are five letters between "M" (13) and "G" (7): L(12), K(11), J(10), I(9), H(8).

  7. True - Loading the words correctly, S(1) T(2) A(3) L(4), words do intersect diagonally.

  8. False - Removing 'motherhood,' you would not be able to form "home" from r's and t's that would be required.

  9. True - Assuming a thumb is a finger, three gloves could correspond to three hands (15 fingers) and three shoes correspond to 30 toes, totaling 35.

  10. True - "Ever" with "one" = someone, "how" with "ever" = however, "hand" with "finger" = handfinger, "more" with "ever" = evermore.
