1. What does the word 'principally' mean?

• A. Mostly
• B. Clearly
• C. In our opinion
• D. Royally

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Mostly.' The word 'principally' means mainly or mostly. It is used to describe something that is primarily or predominantly true in a given context. Choice B, 'Clearly,' is incorrect as it does not reflect the primary meaning of the word. Choice C, 'In our opinion,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of 'principally.' Choice D, 'Royally,' is incorrect as it does not align with the definition of the word.

2. 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.

3. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.

4. The hospital accepts a certain quota of INDIGENT patients. What does indigent mean?

• A. Wealthy
• B. Impoverished
• C. Educated
• D. Healthy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Indigent means impoverished or in need of financial assistance. In the context of the question, the hospital is willing to treat patients who are unable to afford medical care, indicating that indigent refers to those who are impoverished or lacking financial resources. Choice A, 'Wealthy,' is incorrect as indigent is the opposite of wealthy. Choice C, 'Educated,' is incorrect as being indigent is related to financial status, not education. Choice D, 'Healthy,' is incorrect as indigent does not refer to one's health status but rather their financial situation.

5. What is another word for AEGIS?

• A. Relationship
• B. Respectability
• C. Ramifications
• D. Responsibility

Correct answer: B

Rationale: AEGIS is synonymous with protection, sponsorship, or support. Respectability aligns with this notion as it relates to being socially acceptable or esteemed, which can be seen as a form of protection or favorable regard. 'Relationship' (Choice A) does not capture the protective or supportive aspect of AEGIS. 'Ramifications' (Choice C) and 'Responsibility' (Choice D) are not synonyms for AEGIS. They do not convey the sense of protection or support associated with it.
