• A. Breathe
• B. Breathing
• C. Breath
• D. Breadth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Breathe.' When a child has a stuffy nose, the difficulty they experience is related to the action of breathing. 'Breathing' (choice B) is a gerund and doesn't fit the context of the question. 'Breath' (choice C) is a noun, not the correct verb form. 'Breadth' (choice D) refers to the extent or width of something and is unrelated to the child's difficulty due to a stuffy nose.

2. What is the meaning of pernicious?

• A. Harmless
• B. Destructive
• C. Infectious
• D. Helpful

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Destructive.' Pernicious means causing great harm or damage. Choice A, 'Harmless,' is the opposite of pernicious. Choice C, 'Infectious,' refers to the ability of a disease to spread. Choice D, 'Helpful,' is also the opposite of pernicious and does not capture the negative connotation associated with the term.

• A. To ignore something
• B. To stick to something
• C. To go against something
• D. To pull apart

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To stick to something.' Adhere means to stay attached or stick to something. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A 'To ignore something' is the opposite of adhere, choice C 'To go against something' means to oppose rather than stick to, and choice D 'To pull apart' is the opposite of sticking together.

4. What does the word 'furnished' mean in the context of the apartment?

• A. Fully renovated

Rationale: In real estate, when an apartment is described as 'furnished,' it means that it comes equipped with furniture. This typically includes essential items like beds, sofas, dining tables, and more. Therefore, 'Equipped with furniture' is the correct meaning of 'furnished' in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because being 'furnished' specifically refers to the presence of furniture in the apartment, not renovation status, utilities, or decor style.

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of

Rationale: The word 'assured' means to have made certain or confident of something. 'Confirmed' is a synonym that aligns with this meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Confirmed the truth of.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' does not have a similar meaning to 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is the opposite in meaning to 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' does not convey the same sense of certainty as 'assured.'
