1 answer
False - The letters in "parliament" do not include all the letters needed to spell "mineral" (there's no 'n').
True - The number of letters in each word corresponds correctly: triangle (3), glove (5), clock (4), bicycle (7).
False - 27 minutes before 7 o'clock is 6:33, which is not the same as 5:33.
True - The first letters of each word in the sentence spell "because."
False - The reverse of "one thousand, one hundred twenty-five" is not "five thousand, two hundred eleven."
True - Gary would have 48 + 57 + 15 = 120 dollars, which is enough to buy the bicycle.
True - If the clock is upside down and it shows 2:45, the minute hand will be pointing right.
False - The sentence is grammatically incorrect because the second "quane" should be "den" to retain meaning.
True - In a mirror, the left ear appears to be the right ear and vice versa.
True - Rearranging the spaces gives "Theme at son."
