The Next Breakout Might Be in Your Pocket
Everyone’s hunting for the next Unicorn.
The type of “category disruptor” that grows fast and turns early believers into big winners.
59,000+ investors think that Mode Mobile could be one of those rare finds.
Americans spend 4 ½ hours on their phones daily, and Mode Mobile is monetizing that screentime. With $1B+ earned by over 490M customers and 32,481% revenue growth, Mode’s EarnPhone is turning smartphones into income generating assets.
Their previous raises sold out, and the company is now offering pre-IPO shares at $0.52/share with up to 20% bonus, exclusive to early investors.
Being early is everything, and this window is still open.
*Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com.
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.
The Deloitte rankings are based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their fiscal-year revenue growth percentage over a three-year period.

✅ Answers & Explanations
Question 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14
The opposite letter of P is K.
The opposite letter of C is X.
Hence shuffling them we get PC : XK.
Similarly, the opposite letter of A is Z.
The opposite letter of H is S.
Hence, shuffling them we get AH : SZ.
Question 2
The passage says that due to ozone layer depletion, some wavelengths that earlier did not reach earth now reach earth and damage birds’ eyes.
So, the strongly supported statement is:
Answer: Certain wavelengths of sunlight that are harmful to the eyes of some species of birds are more likely to hit the earth because of depletion in the ozone layer.
Question 3
“My sister’s daughter” = X’s niece
The only son of X’s niece = son of the niece
So, the person is one generation below X’s niece. Hence, he is related to X as grandson-like relation.
Answer: Grandson
Question 4
QDM = Q − M = D (17 − 13 = 4)
TFN = T − N = F (20 − 14 = 6)
WGP = W − P = G (23 − 16 = 7)
Let us check the options for a similar pattern.
BSN = B − N yields a negative term and hence can be discarded.
WEN = W − N = 23 − 14 = 9. But the value of E is 5. Therefore, option B is wrong.
IKY = I − Y. This will yield a negative value and hence can be neglected.
SDO = S − O = 19 − 15 = 4. Therefore, SDO is correct.
Hence, option C is the right answer.
Question 5
729 = 9³
343 = 7³
2197 = 13³
But 4913 = 17³
Actually, all are perfect cubes of prime numbers/odd numbers. So there is no clear odd one based on cube logic.
However, among the bases:
9, 17, 7, 13
Only 9 is not prime.
So 729 is the odd one out.
Question 6
Genteel means refined, polite, or well-mannered.
Docile = obedient
Tawdry = cheap and gaudy
Clairvoyance = ability to perceive beyond normal senses
Refined = elegant and cultured ✅
Answer: Refined
Question 7
Active: They made me do it.
Rule:
make + object + bare infinitive → In passive, to is added before the verb.
Passive:
I was made to do it.
Answer: I was made to do it.
Question 8
The sentence suggests the government is confused and unable to decide what to do.
Herculean task = a very difficult task
A dime a dozen = very common
Decked up = dressed attractively
At one's wits' end = completely puzzled or unable to think what to do ✅
The idiom is correctly "at its wits' end" (the option has a minor typo).
Answer: Its wits end
Question 9
Passive:
Had she not been allowed to enter the exam hall by the examiner?
Rule:
Passive (Past Perfect) → Active (Past Perfect)
Active:
Had the examiner not allowed her to enter the exam hall?
Answer: Had the examiner not allowed her to enter the exam hall?
Question 10
I. "Some sensible observations by the editor..."
Sensible observations = logical and meaningful.
II. "A set of sensible precautions and guidelines..."
Sensible precautions = practical and appropriate.
Other options do not fit both blanks.
Answer: sensible
