1. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

2. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.

3. The most important things in my life are making money, traveling abroad, and _____.

• A. living well
• B. to live well
• C. to be happy
• D. enjoying life

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'living well.' The sentence lists actions using '-ing' forms (making, traveling, and living), so 'living well' maintains parallel structure. Choice B ('to live well') breaks this structure by introducing an infinitive form. Choice C ('to be happy') introduces a new action not in parallel with the others. Choice D ('enjoying life') changes the structure and focuses on a different action not consistent with the previous activities listed.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'amalgamate' in the sentence: 'If the companies amalgamate, some employees may lose their jobs.'

• A. Disband
• B. Move
• C. Merge
• D. Regroup

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'amalgamate' in the sentence indicates that if the companies come together, combine, or unite as one entity, which aligns with the meaning of 'merge.' Amalgamation often refers to the merging or combining of two or more entities into one. 'Disband' (Choice A) means to break up or dissolve, which is opposite to what happens when companies amalgamate. 'Move' (Choice B) and 'Regroup' (Choice D) are not directly related to the process of companies amalgamating or merging.

5. What is the best description for the phrase monitor progress in the following sentence? The agency will monitor progress of the pilot program, reviewing reports and conducting our own inspections if necessary.

• A. Watch over modernization
• B. Take charge of expansion
• C. Keep an eye on improvement
• D. Pore over succession

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The phrase 'monitor progress' in this context means to observe or keep track of how the pilot program is developing or improving. It involves regularly reviewing reports and conducting inspections to ensure that things are progressing as expected. 'Keep an eye on improvement' accurately describes the action of monitoring progress in this scenario, making it the correct choice. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not capture the essence of overseeing development and ensuring improvement.
