1. He had already finished studying at a(n) _____ when he was called to join the army.

• A. university
• B. academy
• C. college
• D. institute

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the context provided, the correct answer is 'university.' The term 'university' is used to refer to higher education institutions that offer undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. While 'academy,' 'college,' and 'institute' are also types of educational institutions, 'university' is the most fitting choice here as it best aligns with the idea of completing higher education before joining the army.

2. What does the word BILATERAL mean?

• A. 2-sided
• B. Straight
• C. Symmetrical
• D. On one side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'bilateral' means having or relating to two sides. It is often used to describe something that occurs on both sides, such as bilateral symmetry in which an object is symmetrical on two sides. Choice B, 'Straight,' does not capture the meaning of bilateral. Choice C, 'Symmetrical,' while related, does not specifically convey the idea of something pertaining to two sides. Choice D, 'On one side,' is the opposite of what bilateral means.

3. To censure something is to __________.

• A. inspect it
• B. denounce it
• C. admire it
• D. overlook it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To censure something means to criticize or express strong disapproval of it. When something is censured, it is condemned or denounced for its actions or behavior. 'Inspect it' (Choice A) means to examine closely, 'admire it' (Choice C) means to regard with respect or warm approval, and 'overlook it' (Choice D) means to fail to notice or consider something. These choices do not align with the meaning of censure, making 'denounce it' (Choice B) the correct answer.

4. What is the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A prefix is the correct answer. A prefix is a word part attached at the beginning of a word to modify its root word, changing the definition or grammatical function of the word. Examples of prefixes include "un-" in "unhappy," "re-" in "redo," and "pre-" in "preview." Choice B, "Affix," is incorrect because while a prefix is a type of affix, not all affixes are prefixes. Choice C, "Suffix," is incorrect as a suffix is a word part added at the end of a word to change its meaning. Choice D, "Vocab," is incorrect as it refers to vocabulary or words related to a particular subject rather than a word part placed before a word.

5. Another word for UBIQUITOUS is?

• A. Widespread
• B. Last demand
• C. Uncertainty
• D. Finally reckoned

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word "ubiquitous" means present, appearing, or found everywhere. Another word that closely relates to this meaning is "widespread," which also refers to something that is prevalent or found in many places. The other choices, such as "last demand," "uncertainty," and "finally reckoned," do not accurately represent the synonym for "ubiquitous."
