1. What is the emotional state of the man after becoming an invalid?

• A. Dejected
• B. Shamefully fearful
• C. Injured
• D. Symbiotic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dejected. After becoming INVALID, one is likely to feel dejected, meaning sad and disheartened due to feeling invalidated or rejected. It is a common emotional response to a situation where one's worth or validity is questioned or denied. Option B, shamefully fearful, does not directly relate to the emotional state associated with being an invalid. Option C, injured, does not capture the emotional aspect but rather focuses on the physical condition. Option D, symbiotic, refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms and is not relevant to the emotional state of an individual after becoming an invalid.

2. The man's heart attack scared him badly and he decided to have a regular check-up.

• A. severely
• B. badly
• C. intensely
• D. profoundly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'badly' is the appropriate adverb to describe the intensity of the fear caused by the heart attack. 'Severely' and 'intensely' do not convey the same meaning in this sentence. 'Profoundly' refers more to depth or seriousness of an emotion, which doesn't fit the context of fear caused by a heart attack.

3. Select the word that means 'open.'

• A. inverted
• B. patent
• C. convent
• D. converted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: 'Patent' is the correct answer as it means something that is open or unobstructed. Choices A, C, and D do not convey the meaning of 'open.' 'Inverted' means turned inside out or upside down, 'convent' refers to a religious community, and 'converted' means changed into a different form or function.

4. The C in C-section stands for ___________.

• A. Carthusian
• B. Caesarean
• C. Cartesian
• D. Caedmon

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Caesarean. The C in C-section stands for 'Caesarean' after Julius Caesar, who was rumored to have been born via this surgical procedure. The term 'Caesarean' is derived from the Latin word 'caesus,' meaning cut or incised. Choice A, Carthusian, is incorrect as it does not relate to childbirth. Choice C, Cartesian, is unrelated to the medical procedure. Choice D, Caedmon, is also irrelevant in the context of C-sections.

5. The most important things in my life are making money, traveling abroad, and _____.

• A. living well
• B. to live well
• C. to be happy
• D. enjoying life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'living well.' The sentence lists actions using '-ing' forms (making, traveling, and living), so 'living well' maintains parallel structure. Choice B ('to live well') breaks this structure by introducing an infinitive form. Choice C ('to be happy') introduces a new action not in parallel with the others. Choice D ('enjoying life') changes the structure and focuses on a different action not consistent with the previous activities listed.
