1. What does ONEROUS mean?

• A. Easy
• B. Burdensome
• C. Interesting
• D. Relaxing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Burdensome.' The term 'onerous' is used to describe something that is burdensome, oppressive, or difficult to deal with. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'easy,' 'interesting,' and 'relaxing' do not convey the same meaning as 'onerous.'

2. My mother and _____ went shopping for clothes yesterday.

• A. me
• B. I
• C. myself
• D. mine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I'. In this sentence, 'I' is the subject pronoun that should be used to complete the sentence correctly. 'Me' is an object pronoun, 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun, and 'mine' is a possessive pronoun, none of which are suitable in this context.

3. What is another word for deluge?

• A. Earthquake
• B. Dimness
• C. Downpour
• D. Chasm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "deluge" is a sudden and heavy rainfall or flood, so the word that is most closely related in meaning to "deluge" is "downpour," which also refers to a heavy and sustained rainfall. The other choices, "earthquake," "dimness," and "chasm," do not relate to a flooding or heavy rainfall situation.

4. What does 'lethargic' mean?

• A. Active
• B. Difficult to arouse
• C. Energized
• D. Wide awake

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Lethargic refers to a state of sluggishness or drowsiness, making it difficult for a person to become alert or aroused. This term is the opposite of being active, energized, or wide awake. Choice A is incorrect as 'lethargic' is the opposite of 'active.' Choice C is incorrect as 'lethargic' implies a lack of energy. Choice D is incorrect as 'lethargic' signifies drowsiness, the opposite of being 'wide awake.' The correct answer is B.

5. What does 'Impending' mean?

• A. Likely to never occur
• B. Likely to occur soon
• C. Certain to never occur
• D. Unlikely to occur

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Likely to occur soon.' 'Impending' is used to describe something that is about to happen or is looming in the near future. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Impending' does not indicate that something is unlikely, certain to never occur, or likely to never occur.
