The sequence alternates between multiplying by 2 and adding 6. Starting from 14:
14 × 2 = 28
28 - 8 = 20
20 × 2 = 40
40 - 8 = 32
32 × 2 = 64
Thus, the pattern shows multiplication by 2 followed by subtraction of 8. Hence, the next term after 32 is 64.

The total work can be expressed as the product of the number of workers and the number of days they work. Here, 4 workers working for 6 days give:\[4 \times 6 = 24\]This means a total of 24 worker-days are required to complete the job. It represents the total effort needed irrespective of how many workers are assigned later.

Each letter decreases by two places in the alphabet:
Z (26), X (24), V (22), T (20), ?
The next letter follows the same pattern: 20 - 2 = 18, which corresponds to 'R'.
Therefore, the next letter in the sequence is R.

A die has 6 faces: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
There are 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of 6 possible outcomes.
The probability of rolling an even number once is:\[P(E) = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}\]For two independent rolls, the combined probability is:\[P(E \text{ twice}) = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{4}\]Thus, the probability of getting two even numbers in two rolls is \(\dfrac{1}{4}\).

Using the letter positions in the English alphabet:
S = 19
O = 15
I = 9
L = 12
Summing these values gives:\[19 + 15 + 9 + 12 = 55\]Therefore, the correct numeric sum for 'SOIL' is 55.

The given sequence represents the squares of consecutive natural numbers:
\(1 = 1^2\), \(4 = 2^2\), \(9 = 3^2\), and \(16 = 4^2\).
Each term increases by successive odd numbers (3, 5, 7, …). The next term should follow the same pattern, i.e., \(5^2 = 25\).

This sequence follows the rule \(n^2\), where \(n\) increases by 1 each step. Thus, the next number after 16 (which is \(4^2\)) is \(5^2 = 25\).

The pattern follows
1 + 1² = 2
1 + 1² + 2² = 6
1 + 1² + 2² + 3² = 15
1 + 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² = 31
1 + 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² = 56

A shape is rotationally symmetric at 180° if it looks the same after being rotated halfway around its centre. A rectangle (that is not a square) satisfies this because after rotating by 180°, the opposite sides and corners coincide exactly with their original positions. An equilateral triangle and a regular pentagon only have rotational symmetry at 120° and 72° respectively, not 180°. A circle has infinite rotational symmetry, but since the question specifies 180°, the rectangle fits the intended property more precisely.

In a triangle, the sum of all interior angles is always 180°.
Given two angles are 50° and 60°, the third angle can be found using:\[180° - (50° + 60°) = 180° - 110° = 70°\]Therefore, the remaining angle measures 70°, completing the triangle’s total angle sum.

The first statement means A is taller than B, and the second means B is taller than C. By transitivity of comparison, if A > B and B > C, then A > C. Hence, A must be taller than C.
