1. The _____ student was not well liked by his peers.

• A. Geniality
• B. Affably
• C. Gregarious
• D. Detestable

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Detestable.' In this context, 'detestable' means deserving intense dislike, which fits the sentence describing a student who is not well-liked. 'Geniality' (choice A) means warmth and friendliness, which is the opposite of what is described in the sentence. 'Affably' (choice B) means in a friendly and pleasant manner, which doesn't convey the idea of being disliked. 'Gregarious' (choice C) means sociable and outgoing, which is also not suitable for describing someone who is not well-liked.

2. What does Milieu mean?

• A. A person's background
• B. The environmental condition or setting
• C. A person's history
• D. The chemical composition

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'The environmental condition or setting.' Milieu refers to the surroundings or environment in which a person lives or operates. Choice A ('A person's background') is incorrect as it refers more to someone's personal history rather than the external environment. Choice C ('A person's history') is also incorrect as it specifically relates to an individual's past events and experiences. Choice D ('The chemical composition') is unrelated to the meaning of milieu, which pertains to the physical or social setting.

3. John Kennedy was a senator before he _____ President in 1960.

• A. was elected
• B. became
• C. was made
• D. become

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'was elected.' This choice is the most appropriate as it correctly indicates the action of being chosen through a voting process in the past. In this context, 'was elected' is the right verb form to show that John Kennedy became President in 1960 after winning an election. The other choices are incorrect: 'became' is a simple past verb form that doesn't convey the electoral process, 'was made' implies a passive action rather than an active election, and 'become' is not the correct past tense form needed in this sentence.

4. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'The men and women of the graduating class ___ their caps in the air.'

• A. Thorough
• B. Through
• C. Threw
• D. Throwing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Threw.' In this sentence, we need the past tense form of the verb 'throw' to show the action that occurred. Therefore, 'threw' is the correct choice. 'Thorough' (choice A) means complete or exhaustive, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. 'Through' (choice B) is a preposition or an adverb, not the correct verb form. 'Throwing' (choice D) is the present participle form and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.

5. The Ramifications of a course of treatment are that treatment's ______

• A. Effectiveness
• B. Consequences
• C. Complications
• D. Outcomes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Consequences.' Ramifications refer to the consequences of a particular course of action or treatment. In this context, 'Effectiveness' (Choice A) is not the most appropriate term as ramifications are more about the results or outcomes beyond just effectiveness. 'Complications' (Choice C) are adverse effects or issues that arise, not necessarily the overall consequences. 'Outcomes' (Choice D) is close in meaning but not as synonymous with ramifications as 'Consequences' is.
