1. The US __________ most of its silicone chips from Japan and China to stay competitive in the tech market.

• A. Deports
• B. Exports
• C. Reports
• D. Imports

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The US imports most of its silicone chips from Japan and China, indicating that the silicone chips are being brought into the US from these countries. 'Imports' refers to the act of bringing goods or services into one country from another, which accurately describes the scenario described in the question. The other choices are incorrect: 'Deports' means expelling individuals from a country, 'Exports' mean sending goods to another country, and 'Reports' mean providing information or data.

2. A stye is an infection of the ___________.

• A. eyelid
• B. eardrum
• C. nostril
• D. scalp

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A stye is an infection that occurs at the base of an eyelash or on the eyelid. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes discomfort in the affected area. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a stye specifically refers to an infection of the eyelid area, not the eardrum, nostril, or scalp.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'undulate' in the sentence: 'Each shiver made his muscles undulate beneath his skin.'

• A. Ripple
• B. Shake
• C. Flatten
• D. Unknot

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'undulate' means to move in a smooth, wave-like motion. An undulation of muscles is a subtle, continuous rippling or rolling movement, making 'ripple' the most appropriate synonym in this sentence. 'Shake' (Choice B) is incorrect as it implies a more abrupt and irregular movement. 'Flatten' (Choice C) and 'Unknot' (Choice D) are unrelated to the smooth, wave-like motion described in the sentence.

4. What is another word for paltry?

• A. Insignificant
• B. Punitive
• C. Prolonged
• D. Economical

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Insignificant.' Paltry and insignificant are synonymous terms that denote something as unimportant, trivial, or of little value. Choice B, 'Punitive,' means inflicting or intended as punishment, which is unrelated to the meaning of paltry. Choice C, 'Prolonged,' means continuing for a long time, which is not a synonym for paltry. Choice D, 'Economical,' means giving good value or service in relation to the amount of money, which is not synonymous with paltry.

5. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.
