1. Select the meaning of the word 'labile' in the sentence: 'The child developed a labile condition that worried the parents.'

• A. Fevered
• B. Volatile
• C. Stomach
• D. Vision

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Volatile.' In this context, 'labile' means having an unpredictable or changeable condition. Choice A, 'Fevered,' is incorrect as it relates to having a fever, not the intended meaning of 'labile.' Choices C and D, 'Stomach' and 'Vision,' are unrelated to the context of the sentence and do not reflect the meaning of 'labile' as 'volatile.'

2. When people masticate, what do they use?

• A. Fingers
• B. Eyes and ears
• C. Gums and teeth
• D. Heels and toes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When people masticate, they use their gums and teeth to chew and physically break down food into smaller pieces for easier digestion. The process of mastication is essential for proper digestion in the human body. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as fingers, eyes, ears, heels, and toes are not involved in the process of chewing or mastication.

3. If you are an assiduous worker, you are probably ____?

• A. Lazy
• B. Industrious
• C. Inconsistent
• D. Procrastinating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. If someone is described as assiduous, it means they are diligent, hardworking, and persistent in their efforts. This aligns with the trait of being 'Industrious.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because being lazy, inconsistent, or procrastinating are the opposite characteristics of someone who is assiduous.

4. What does ONEROUS mean?

• A. Easy
• B. Burdensome
• C. Interesting
• D. Relaxing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Burdensome.' The term 'onerous' is used to describe something that is burdensome, oppressive, or difficult to deal with. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'easy,' 'interesting,' and 'relaxing' do not convey the same meaning as 'onerous.'

5. If the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then they could be heard __________.

• A. Thorough
• B. Thought
• C. Through
• D. Throughout

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'throughout' means in every part of a place or thing. In this context, if the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then it implies that the sound could be heard throughout the community, making 'Throughout' the most appropriate answer. Choice A 'Thorough' means complete or absolute, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B 'Thought' is a past tense form of the verb 'think,' which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. Choice C 'Through' is a preposition and does not convey the intended meaning of being heard in every part of the community.
