1. Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

• A. Quick
• B. As quick
• C. So quickist
• D. Quickly

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.

2. What does 'Deficit' mean?

• A. An excess of something
• B. A deficiency or lack of something
• C. An abundance of something
• D. A stable amount

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A deficiency or lack of something.' The term 'deficit' refers to a shortage or inadequacy of something. Choice A is incorrect because a surplus means an excess, which is the opposite of a deficit. Choice C is incorrect as an abundance signifies a large quantity or more than enough of something. Choice D is incorrect as a stable amount does not convey the concept of a deficit.

3. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

4. The new mother wanted to use cloth diapers rather than disposables.

• A. Close
• B. Clothing
• C. Cloth
• D. Clothes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct choice is C. Cloth because in the sentence, the new mother expressed a preference for using cloth diapers over disposables. 'Cloth' refers to a type of diaper material, and it makes sense in the context of the sentence. Choice A, 'Close,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the type of diapers being discussed. Choice B, 'Clothing,' is incorrect as it refers to garments worn on the body, not diapers. Choice D, 'Clothes,' is also incorrect as it is used for general garments, not specific to diapers.

5. What is another word for the kneecap?

• A. patina
• B. patella
• C. pastel
• D. pathogen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct term for the kneecap is patella. It is a small, flat bone that sits at the front of the knee joint and helps in the transmission of force between the thigh and lower leg while providing protection to the knee joint. 'Patina' refers to a green or brown film on the surface of bronze or similar metals, 'pastel' is a pale, soft shade or color, and 'pathogen' is a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
