1. After robbing the bank, _____.

• A. the thief fled
• B. he escaped
• C. they hid
• D. they fled

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After robbing the bank, 'the thief fled' is the correct choice as it logically follows the action of robbing a bank. The singular pronoun 'he' in choice B is not appropriate as 'the thief' is singular. Choices C and D use 'they,' which is a plural pronoun and does not agree with 'the thief,' making them grammatically incorrect.

2. Select the sentence in which 'snake' is used as a verb.

• A. The snake is in the grass
• B. He had to snake his way through the crowd
• C. The snake slithered away
• D. The spy had to snake his way onto the train

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'The spy had to snake his way onto the train' correctly uses 'snake' as a verb. In this context, 'snake' is used to describe the spy's action of moving cunningly and stealthily, similar to how a snake slithers, making it the appropriate choice where 'snake' functions as a verb. The other choices use 'snake' as a noun to refer to the reptile itself or its movement, not as a verb.

3. A sore with disintegration of tissue might be called an ___________.

• A. allergy
• B. erythema
• C. alopecia
• D. ulcer

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A sore with disintegration of tissue is typically referred to as an ulcer. Ulcers are open sores or wounds that can develop on the skin's surface or within the body. They can vary in size and depth and are commonly associated with conditions such as pressure ulcers, peptic ulcers, and venous ulcers. Ulcers result from the breakdown of tissue, leading to a loss of the skin or mucous membrane in that area. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Allergy refers to a hypersensitivity reaction, erythema is redness of the skin, and alopecia is hair loss. These conditions do not specifically involve the disintegration of tissue as seen in an ulcer.

4. TO GATHER TOGETHER means to ?

• A. Semblance
• B. Assembly
• C. Appearance
• D. Assemble

5. What does alimentary mean?

• A. Related to nourishment
• B. Related to outflow
• C. Related to simplicity
• D. Related to protection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'alimentary' is used to describe things that are related to nourishment or the process of providing food or nourishment. It is often associated with the digestive system and the intake of food. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Related to nourishment. Choice B, 'Related to outflow,' is incorrect because alimentary is not associated with outflow but rather with intake. Choice C, 'Related to simplicity,' and choice D, 'Related to protection,' are unrelated to the meaning of alimentary.
