Say, "You know what a sentence is, of course. A sentence is made up of some words which say something. Now, I am going to give you three words, and you must make up a sentence that has all three words in it. The three words are 'boy,' 'river,' 'ball.' Go ahead and make up a sentence that has all three words in it." Repeat instructions if necessary, but do not illustrate. May say, "The three words must be put with some other words so that all of them together will make a sentence." Give only one trial, and do not caution against making more than one sentence. Do not hurry S., but allow only one minute. Then say, "Now make a sentence that has in it the three words 'work,' 'money,' 'men.'" If necessary give (_c_) desert, rivers, lakes, in the same way. Credit if satisfactory sentence is given in two of three trials. (See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 243-45.) 6. _Finding Rhymes_ Say, "You know what a rhyme is, of course. A rhyme is a word that sounds like another word. Two words rhyme if they end in the same sound. For example, 'hat,' 'cat,' 'rat,' 'bat,' all rhyme with one another. Now, I am going to give you one minute to find as many words as you can that rhyme with 'day.' Ready; go ahead." If S. fails, repeat explanation, and give sample rhymes for day, as say, may, pay, hay. Otherwise, proceed, "Now, you have another minute to name all the words you can think of that rhyme with 'mill.'" Same, if necessary, for spring. Do not repeat explanation after "mill" or "spring." Credit if three rhymes in one minute are given for each of two out of three words. _Alt. 1. Naming the Months_ Say, "Name all the months of the year." If correct, check by asking, "What month comes before April?" "Before July?" "Before November?" Credit if months are correctly named within 15 seconds with not more than one error, and if two of three checks are correct. _Alt. 2. Counting Value of Stamps_ Say, "You know, of course, how much a stamp like this costs (pointing to a 1-cent stamp). And you know how much one like this costs (pointing to a 2-cent stamp). Now, how much money would it take to buy all these stamps?" (showing three 1-cent stamps and three 2-cent stamps). Do not tell values, where not known; if values are known but sum is wrongly given, give second trial, saying, "Tell me how you got it." Credit if correct value is given in not over 15 seconds. Year X 1. _Vocabulary_ See last section. If both lists are given, 30 satisfactory definitions are required; if only one list is given, the requirement is 15. 2. _Absurdities_ "I am going to read a sentence which has something foolish in it, some nonsense. Listen carefully and tell me what is foolish about it." After reading say, "What is foolish about that?" Give sentences twice if necessary, repeating exactly. If response is ambiguous, ask S. what he means.
