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. What does 'Compensatory' mean?

• A. Harmful
• B. Offsetting or making up for something
• C. Adding unnecessary work
• D. Hindering

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Compensatory' means offsetting or making up for something. In this context, it refers to the act of providing something in order to make up for a deficiency or loss. It is not related to being harmful, hindering, or adding unnecessary work. 'Harmful' (Choice A), 'Adding unnecessary work' (Choice C), and 'Hindering' (Choice D) are incorrect as they do not align with the meaning of 'Compensatory.'

3. 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.

4. What does 'Ingest' mean?

• A. To chew
• B. To swallow for digestion
• C. To spit out
• D. To vomit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To swallow for digestion.' Ingest means to take food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing it. Choice A, 'To chew,' is incorrect as chewing is the act of breaking down food with the teeth. Choice C, 'To spit out,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of ingesting, involving expelling something from the mouth. Choice D, 'To vomit,' is also incorrect as vomiting is forcibly expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth, which is the opposite of ingesting.

5. What is the correct verb to complete the sentence? 'Economics ___ my least favorite subject at school.'

• A. Is
• B. Been
• C. Am
• D. Are

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is being treated as a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice B, 'Been,' is incorrect because it is the past participle form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice C, 'Am,' is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice D, 'Are,' is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.'
