1. She went to the party _____ her dislike for the host.

• A. because of
• B. despite
• C. in spite of
• D. due to

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'despite.' 'Despite' is used to indicate a contrast between attending the party and the dislike for the host. 'Because of' (choice A) is incorrect as it would imply that she attended the party specifically because of her dislike for the host. 'In spite of' (choice C) has the same meaning as 'despite' but is less commonly used. 'Due to' (choice D) is incorrect as it is used to show causation, which does not fit the context of the sentence.

2. The bad smell made him __________.

• A. Gag
• B. Enjoy
• C. Remember
• D. Attach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The bad smell would likely make him gag, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant odor. Gagging is a common response to strong or foul smells as the body seeks to expel the offending odor. Enjoy, Remember, and Attach do not accurately reflect a likely reaction to a bad smell.

3. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

4. What does the quoted word 'adverse' mean in the following sentence? He complained of the 'adverse' side effects of his new medication.

• A. Undesirable
• B. Frequent
• C. Noticeable
• D. Constant

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Undesirable.' In this context, 'adverse' means harmful or undesirable, specifically referring to the negative side effects experienced from the medication. Choice B, 'Frequent,' is incorrect as 'adverse' does not imply how often the side effects occur but rather their nature. Choice C, 'Noticeable,' is incorrect as 'adverse' does not necessarily mean that the side effects are easily noticeable, but rather that they are harmful. Choice D, 'Constant,' is incorrect as 'adverse' does not indicate that the side effects are continuous but rather that they are negative.

5. Where is the posterior part of the body located?

• A. Topmost
• B. Lowermost
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'
