Sure. :)

So I take a look at "car, glove, clock, sock," "4, 5, 12, ? " and immediately think: a car's got four wheels, a glove's got five fingers, a clock has 12 numbers. I can see what they're aiming at -- they want to know how many of a certain thing a sock has. Question is, what's that thing. "car" and "glove" both fit into "appendages", clock semi-sorta does -- the numbers on a clock aren't exactly appendages, but whatever -- so that leads me to 0, because a sock doesn't have any appendages; it's one continuous surface. "glove" and "clock" both fit into "parts divided into", "car" semi-sorta does -- the tires on a car aren't the only parts, but whatever -- so that leads me to 1, because a sock has one part, for the toes to go into.

The 5 is the biggest stretch for me, because in order to get there, I'd need the pattern to be composed of "things covering up or enclosing a thing which has this number associated with it", because a sock doesn't have five toes; it encloses five toes. And "clock" and "car" don't fit that. I think the test is just going for a much more generic "numbers associated with this item", but like I said, my brain doesn't work the way standardized tests work.
