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. Which term refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents?

• A. Vivisection
• B. Amputation
• C. Evisceration
• D. Augmentation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Evisceration.' Evisceration specifically refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents, for example, the removal of abdominal contents during certain surgical procedures. Vivisection (A) involves performing experiments on live animals, amputation (B) is the removal of a limb, and augmentation (D) is the process of increasing the size, value, or quality of something. Therefore, in the context of surgical procedures, evisceration best fits the description of removing an organ's contents.

3. Which verb correctly completes the sentence? After throwing their sleeping bags into the backseat of their car, they ___ more than 400 miles to reach their destination.

• A. Driving
• B. Having driven
• C. Drove
• D. Had drove

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles is a past action that already took place after they threw their sleeping bags into the backseat. 'Drove' is the correct past tense form of the verb to match this past action. Choice A, 'Driving,' is in the present participle form and does not correctly indicate the completion of the action in the past. Choice B, 'Having driven,' is in the present perfect form and does not fit the sequence of events in the sentence. Choice D, 'Had drove,' is incorrect due to the incorrect use of 'had' with the past form of 'drive.' Therefore, the most appropriate choice is 'Drove.'

4. What is the meaning of plastic?

• A. Mechanical
• B. Durable
• C. Authentic
• D. Flexible

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flexible. Plastic is a material that can be easily molded or shaped, known for its flexibility. It can bend and stretch without breaking, making it versatile and durable. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because plastic is not primarily associated with being mechanical, authentic, or durable, but rather with its ability to be shaped and its flexibility.

5. Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'

• A. supplement
• B. complement
• C. detriment
• D. acumen

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'supplement.' A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion. Choice B, 'complement,' means something that completes or goes well with something. Choice C, 'detriment,' refers to something that causes harm or damage. Choice D, 'acumen,' means the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions.
