1. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.

2. Choose the meaning of the word 'yaw' in the following sentence: 'The robotic arm may yaw too much and need adjusting.'

• A. To gape open
• B. To move up and down
• C. To close tightly
• D. To move side to side

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the term 'yaw' refers to a movement where the robotic arm moves side to side. The context suggests that the arm is exhibiting too much of this side-to-side movement and requires adjustment to rectify the issue. Choice A, 'to gape open,' is incorrect as 'yaw' does not imply opening. Choice B, 'to move up and down,' is incorrect as 'yaw' specifically refers to side-to-side movement. Choice C, 'to close tightly,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the movement described in the sentence.

3. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

4. What does 'Compensatory' mean?

• A. Harmful
• B. Offsetting or making up for something
• C. Adding unnecessary work
• D. Hindering

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Compensatory' means offsetting or making up for something. In this context, it refers to the act of providing something in order to make up for a deficiency or loss. It is not related to being harmful, hindering, or adding unnecessary work. 'Harmful' (Choice A), 'Adding unnecessary work' (Choice C), and 'Hindering' (Choice D) are incorrect as they do not align with the meaning of 'Compensatory.'

5. Which of the following is the plural form of the noun 'stimulus'?

• A. Stimulus
• B. Stimuli
• C. Stimulis
• D. Stimula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Stimuli.' When forming the plural of 'stimulus,' the correct form is 'stimuli.' Choice A, 'Stimulus,' is the singular form, not the plural. Choice C, 'Stimulis,' is an incorrect spelling. Choice D, 'Stimula,' is also an incorrect form for the plural of 'stimulus.' Therefore, 'Stimuli' is the only correct plural form.
