How many Pearls are listed?

• A. 16
• B. 18
• C. 20
• D. 22

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is simply counting items in a list. To find how many Pearls are listed, focus on the section that presents each Pearl as a separate entry. Treat every distinct bullet, line, or clearly separated item as one Pearl. If an item spans multiple lines but stays as one idea, count it as a single Pearl; if there are truly separate pearls on the same line (for example, separated by punctuation), count each one.

When you apply that careful counting to the Pearls shown, you arrive at twenty distinct Pearls. That makes twenty the correct total. If you double-check by scanning again or by counting aloud as you point to each Pearl, you should consistently reach twenty.
