1. What does 'Parameter' mean?

• A. A constant variable
• B. A characteristic or constant factor
• C. A measurable limit
• D. A calculated risk

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A characteristic or constant factor.' In the context of systems or experiments, a parameter is a fixed element that influences the behavior or outcome. It is not a variable like in choice A, which can change. Choice C, 'A measurable limit,' is incorrect as a parameter is not necessarily a physical limit but a defining factor. Choice D, 'A calculated risk,' is unrelated to the definition of a parameter.

2. 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.'

3. What is the meaning of ostracize?

• A. Praise
• B. Snub
• C. Accept
• D. Include

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Snub.' To ostracize someone means to intentionally exclude or ignore them. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because ostracize has a negative connotation, opposite of 'Praise,' 'Accept,' and 'Include.' Ostracize involves rejecting or isolating someone, which contrasts with the positive actions associated with the other choices.

4. The bad smell made him __________.

• A. Gag
• B. Enjoy
• C. Remember
• D. Attach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The bad smell would likely make him gag, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant odor. Gagging is a common response to strong or foul smells as the body seeks to expel the offending odor. Enjoy, Remember, and Attach do not accurately reflect a likely reaction to a bad smell.

5. What is the correct pronoun to complete the sentence?

• A. Her
• B. Hers
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'her' is the correct choice because it serves as the object of the preposition 'at.' In this sentence, 'looked at' requires an object pronoun, making 'her' the appropriate choice. Option B, 'Hers,' indicates possession, which is not needed in this context. Options C and D are not pronouns and do not fit grammatically in the sentence.
