1. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
• D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.

2. What does Distended mean?

• A. Shrunken
• B. Enlarged or expanded from pressure
• C. Collapsed
• D. Constricted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Distended means enlarged or expanded from pressure. The term 'shrunken' (Choice A) means reduced in size, 'collapsed' (Choice C) means fallen in or disintegrated, and 'constricted' (Choice D) means narrowed or tightened. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

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 a device?

• A. An idea or concept
• B. A tool or piece of equipment
• C. A small part of a larger structure
• D. An accessory for fashion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A device is defined as a tool or piece of equipment designed to serve a specific purpose. It is used to perform a particular function or task. An idea or concept (Choice A) may lead to the creation of a device, but they are not devices themselves. Choice C, referring to a small part of a larger structure, does not encompass the general definition of a device which implies standalone functionality. Choice D, an accessory for fashion, is entirely unrelated to the usual understanding of a device, which focuses on functionality rather than aesthetics.

5. Choose the best description for the term 'selected plants' in the following sentence: 'Saturated fat comes principally from animal food products and selected plants.'

• A. Plants that have been chosen
• B. Particular plants
• C. Top quality plants
• D. Restricted plants

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'selected plants' in this sentence refers to specific or particular plants that have been chosen intentionally for some reason. It implies that not all plants contribute to saturated fat but only specific ones. The term 'particular plants' best captures this meaning in the context provided. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'selected plants' does not necessarily imply they are of top quality, plants that have been restricted, or chosen without reason. The emphasis is on the specificity of the plants chosen, making 'particular plants' the most suitable description.
