1. What is the meaning of Contrite?

• A. Guilty
• B. Regretful
• C. Shameful
• D. Pleased

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Regretful.' Contrite means feeling regret or remorse. 'Guilty' (A) refers to being responsible for a wrongdoing, not necessarily feeling remorseful. 'Shameful' (C) means feeling ashamed, which is related but not the same as feeling regret. 'Pleased' (D) means feeling satisfied or happy, which is the opposite of contrite.

2. Something that is viscous is thick and sticky. Another word for this might be ______?

• A. Watery
• B. Gelatinous
• C. Fluid
• D. Dry

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Gelatinous.' Viscous substances have a thick and sticky consistency, similar to the properties of gelatin. 'Watery' and 'fluid' are incorrect as they are opposite in meaning to viscous, which implies thickness and stickiness. 'Dry' is also incorrect as it does not capture the characteristic of being thick and sticky associated with viscosity.

3. What is the meaning of qualms?

• A. Misgivings
• B. Habits
• C. Serenity
• D. Dispatches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Qualms refer to feelings of doubt, hesitation, or uneasiness about something. They are typically used to describe a person's reservations or concerns about a decision or action. This aligns with the meaning of 'misgivings,' making it the correct choice in this context. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Habits' refer to regular tendencies or practices, 'Serenity' refers to a state of calm or peace, and 'Dispatches' refer to sending off to a destination or taking care of a task promptly, none of which capture the meaning of 'qualms.'

4. What does Consistency refer to?

• A. Color of a fluid
• B. Degree of viscosity, how thick or thin a fluid is
• C. Taste of a fluid
• D. Smell of a fluid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Consistency refers to the degree of viscosity of a fluid, indicating how thick or thin it is. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow, and it determines its consistency. Choices A, color, C, taste, and D, smell, are not related to consistency. Color, taste, and smell are sensory attributes that do not define the physical property of consistency in fluids.

5. What does 'overt' mean?

• A. Hidden
• B. Obvious or easily observed
• C. Barely noticeable
• D. Misleading

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Obvious or easily observed.' Overt means something that is not hidden or concealed but rather openly displayed or easily noticed. Choice A, 'Hidden,' is the opposite of overt. Choice C, 'Barely noticeable,' implies something not overt but rather subtle. Choice D, 'Misleading,' is unrelated to the definition of overt.
