1. What is the meaning of 'repugnant'?

• A. destructive
• B. selective
• C. collective
• D. offensive

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'offensive.' Repugnant means offensive or disgusting. In this context, 'destructive,' 'selective,' and 'collective' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'repugnant,' making them incorrect choices. 'Offensive' is the most appropriate term to describe something that is repugnant.

2. 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.

3. Something that is viscous is thick and sticky. Another word for this might be ___________.

• A. fluid
• B. molten
• C. gelatinous
• D. malleable

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct word that can be used to describe something that is thick and sticky, like viscosity, is 'gelatinous.' Gelatinous refers to a substance that has a jelly-like consistency, which aligns with the characteristics of something viscous. Options A, B, and D do not accurately capture the concept of being thick and sticky. 'Fluid' implies a substance that flows easily, 'molten' refers to something melted by heat, and 'malleable' describes the ability to be shaped without breaking.

4. 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.

5. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.
