1. What does Audible mean?

• A. Impossible to hear
• B. Able to be heard
• C. Visible
• D. Silent

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Able to be heard.' Audible refers to something that can be heard. Choice A, 'Impossible to hear,' is the opposite of the meaning of audible. Choice C, 'Visible,' is unrelated as it pertains to sight, not hearing. Choice D, 'Silent,' is also not correct as it refers to the absence of sound, which is different from something being able to be heard.

2. What does Distended mean?

• A. Shrunken
• B. Enlarged or expanded from pressure
• C. Collapsed
• D. Constricted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Distended means enlarged or expanded from pressure. The term 'shrunken' (Choice A) means reduced in size, 'collapsed' (Choice C) means fallen in or disintegrated, and 'constricted' (Choice D) means narrowed or tightened. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

3. What does Debilitating mean?

• A. Incapacitating
• B. Weakening
• C. Empowering
• D. Strengthening

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Incapacitating.' Debilitating means causing incapacity or weakness, making choice A the most appropriate. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent the opposite of what debilitating means. Weakening (choice B), Empowering (choice C), and Strengthening (choice D) all convey a sense of increasing strength or ability, which is the opposite of the meaning of debilitating.

4. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. The children became bellicose after too much time in the moving car.

• A. Beautiful
• B. Selfless
• C. Tolerant
• D. Quarrelsome

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'bellicose' means showing aggression or a willingness to fight. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the children became argumentative or confrontational after spending too much time in the moving car. Therefore, the correct meaning is 'quarrelsome.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'bellicose' does not mean beautiful, selfless, or tolerant. It specifically refers to a combative or aggressive behavior, which aligns with 'quarrelsome.'

5. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ___ and a toast was made by our host.'

• A. Were risen
• B. Were rose
• C. Were raised
• D. Arose

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were raised.' This phrase is the correct passive form, indicating the action of lifting the glasses during the toast. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'were risen' is not grammatically correct, 'were rose' is not the appropriate verb form, and 'arose' does not convey the action of lifting the glasses as required in the sentence.
