1. What does 'Flushed' refer to?

• A. Swollen
• B. Reddened or ruddy appearance
• C. Discolored
• D. Pale

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Reddened or ruddy appearance.' When someone is flushed, it means they have a red or ruddy complexion, often due to embarrassment, anger, or a physical reaction. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'flushed' specifically refers to a red or ruddy appearance, not swelling, discoloration, or paleness.

2. The _____ of this weather was that we all got wet.

• A. result
• B. effect
• C. affect
• D. impact

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'effect' is the correct term to use as it refers to the outcome or consequence of the weather, which was that everyone got wet. 'Effect' is a noun that indicates the result of a particular action or situation. Choice A 'result' is incorrect because it refers to the outcome of an action, not the outcome of weather. Choice C 'affect' is incorrect as it is used as a verb to show influence or make a difference. Choice D 'impact' is incorrect because it refers to a strong influence or effect.

3. What is the best description of the verb emit?

• A. To discharge
• B. To exclude
• C. To dismiss
• D. To moderate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The best description of the verb emit is 'to discharge.' Emit means to produce and release something such as a sound, odor, or substance. Discharge is synonymous with emit in this context as it conveys the idea of releasing or sending out something, which aligns with the meaning of emit. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'To exclude' means to deny access or prevent from entering, which is not the same as emit. 'To dismiss' means to remove from consideration or to let go, which is different from emitting. 'To moderate' means to make or become less extreme, intense, or severe, which is not the same as emitting or releasing something.

4. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.

5. What is the meaning of impugn?

• A. To instill with
• B. To instruct about
• C. To dispute the truth of
• D. To lament or complain about

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'impugn' means to challenge or attack the truth, integrity, validity, or honesty of something. It is not related to instilling (A), instructing (B), lamenting, or complaining (D). Impugn specifically involves questioning the accuracy or validity of a statement or argument, making choice C the correct answer.
