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. What is the meaning of 'Exemplary'?

• A. Disappointing
• B. Praiseworthy
• C. Ordinary
• D. Unacceptable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Praiseworthy.' Exemplary is used to describe something that is commendable, outstanding, or worthy of praise. Therefore, the meaning of 'Exemplary' is praiseworthy, not disappointing, ordinary, or unacceptable. Choice A is incorrect because 'Disappointing' is the opposite of 'Exemplary.' Choice C is incorrect as 'Ordinary' does not reflect the exceptional nature of 'Exemplary.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Unacceptable' is the opposite meaning of 'Exemplary.'

3. What does Ominous mean?

• A. Insignificant
• B. Significantly important and dangerous
• C. Trivial
• D. Harmless

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ominous means giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen; threatening; inauspicious. This choice is correct as it accurately reflects the meaning of the term 'Ominous.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest a lack of importance, danger, or threat, which is opposite to the actual meaning of 'Ominous.'

4. What must a homeowner do to a section of a fence that is falling apart?

• A. Buttress
• B. Degrade
• C. Hinder
• D. Flounder

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To buttress a fence means to reinforce or support it, typically by adding extra material or structures to prevent it from falling apart. In this scenario, the homeowner needs to strengthen the deteriorating section of the fence, making 'buttress' the correct answer. 'Degrade' means to diminish in quality, which is the opposite of what the homeowner should do. 'Hinder' means to create obstacles or difficulties, not a solution for the falling fence. 'Flounder' means to struggle or fail, which is not related to repairing the fence.

5. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.
