1. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'My sister gave the chocolate bar to my friend and ___.'

• A. Myself
• B. Me
• C. Us
• D. We

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Me.' In this sentence, 'me' is the correct object pronoun to use after the preposition 'to.' 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object of the sentence refer to the same person, which is not the case here. 'Us' is the object form of 'we,' which is incorrect in this context. Therefore, 'Me' is the most suitable choice.

2. What does 'External' refer to?

• A. Inside the body
• B. Located outside the body
• C. Exposed internally
• D. Near the skin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'External' refers to something that is located outside the body. In this context, it specifically denotes a position or location that is beyond the confines of the body's boundaries. Choice A is incorrect as 'External' means outside, not inside. Choice C is incorrect as it confuses the internal exposure with external positioning. Choice D is incorrect as 'External' does not necessarily mean near the skin, but rather outside the body.

3. What does Adhere mean?

• A. To ignore something
• B. To stick to something
• C. To go against something
• D. To pull apart

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To stick to something.' Adhere means to stay attached or stick to something. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A 'To ignore something' is the opposite of adhere, choice C 'To go against something' means to oppose rather than stick to, and choice D 'To pull apart' is the opposite of sticking together.

4. The rain will CEASE at sundown.

• A. Decrease
• B. Begin
• C. Stop
• D. Increase

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'cease' means to stop or come to an end. In the given sentence, it is implied that the rain will stop at sundown, not decrease, begin, or increase. Therefore, the correct option is 'Stop.' 'Decrease' means to become smaller or less, which doesn't fit the context. 'Begin' means to start, which is the opposite of what is stated. 'Increase' means to become or make greater in amount, which is also contrary to the statement.

5. Another word for ASSURED is?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'assured' means to have made certain or confident of something. 'Confirmed' is a synonym that aligns with this meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Confirmed the truth of.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' does not have a similar meaning to 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is the opposite in meaning to 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' does not convey the same sense of certainty as 'assured.'
