1. What does Endogenous mean?

• A. Produced outside the body
• B. Produced within the body
• C. Taken from an external source
• D. Linked to environmental factors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Produced within the body.' Endogenous refers to substances or processes that originate or are produced within an organism or system. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 'Produced outside the body,' is the opposite of endogenous. Choice C, 'Taken from an external source,' describes exogenous rather than endogenous. Choice D, 'Linked to environmental factors,' is not a direct definition of endogenous.

2. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.

3. Which word correctly completes the sentence? "Be careful not to ___ the bottle while you carry it to the table."

• A. Brak
• B. Break
• C. Brick
• D. Brake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is "Break." In this context, 'break' is the appropriate word as it means to damage or shatter something. The other choices are incorrect: 'Brak' is a misspelling, 'Brick' is unrelated to the context of the sentence, and 'Brake' refers to a device used to slow down or stop movement, which is not relevant to carrying a bottle to the table.

4. To vivify someone is to ___________.

• A. belittle him
• B. animate him
• C. alarm him
• D. spoil him

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To vivify someone means to give life or animation to them. It involves revitalizing or energizing someone, rather than belittling, alarming, or spoiling them. Therefore, the correct answer is "animate him" as it is the most suitable synonym for vivify in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the meaning of vivify.

5. Which verb is defined as to bring about; cause to happen; to accomplish; to make?

• A. Affect
• B. Accept
• C. Expect
• D. Effect

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'effect.' The verb 'effect' is defined as to bring about, cause to happen, accomplish, or make. It describes the action of making something happen or producing a result. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'affect' means to influence, 'accept' means to receive willingly, and 'expect' means to anticipate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'effect.'
