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. What does Redundancy mean?

• A. Deficiency
• B. Surplus
• C. Delicate
• D. Abundance

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Redundancy means having more than is needed, making 'Surplus' the correct choice. The term does not relate to 'Deficiency' (lack), 'Delicate' (fragile), or 'Abundance' (plenty). In the context of this question, Redundancy refers to an excess or surplus of something.

3. The plumber used a flexible tube to open up the curved pipe.

• A. Solid
• B. Rigid
• C. Flexible
• D. Perforated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The term 'flexible' accurately describes the type of tube used in the given context. A 'solid' tube would not have been suitable for navigating a curved pipe as it is not pliable. 'Rigid' implies stiffness and inflexibility, making it unsuitable for the task. 'Perforated' means pierced with holes, which is unrelated to the plumber's task of opening up a curved pipe.

4. Another word for the collarbone might be the ___________.

• A. cloaca
• B. cannula
• C. clavicle
• D. clavier

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for the collarbone is the clavicle. The term 'clavicle' is commonly used in anatomy to refer to this bone that connects the arm to the rest of the body's skeleton. Choice A, 'cloaca,' is incorrect as it refers to a bodily cavity that serves as the opening for the intestinal, genital, and urinary tracts in many vertebrates. Choice B, 'cannula,' is incorrect as it refers to a tube inserted into a vein or body cavity to administer medication or drain fluid. Choice D, 'clavier,' is incorrect as it refers to a keyboard musical instrument.

5. What is the term for the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?

• A. Prefix
• B. Affix
• C. Suffix
• D. Vocab

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Prefix.' A prefix is a word part that is placed before a root word to modify its meaning. In this case, a prefix changes the meaning of the root word. Choice B, 'Affix,' is a broader term that includes prefixes, suffixes, and infixes. Choice C, 'Suffix,' is a word part placed after a root word to modify its meaning, not before. Choice D, 'Vocab,' is unrelated to the word part placed before a word.
