1. What is the meaning of SOPORIFIC?

• A. Causing excitement
• B. Inducing sleep
• C. Inhibiting pain
• D. Relieving pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Inducing sleep.' The term 'soporific' refers to something that causes sleepiness or drowsiness, leading to sleep. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of soporific. Choice A is the opposite since it means causing excitement, not drowsiness. Choices C and D are related to pain relief, which is not the primary association with the term soporific.

2. What is the emotional state of the man after becoming an invalid?

• A. Dejected
• B. Shamefully fearful
• C. Injured
• D. Symbiotic

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dejected. After becoming INVALID, one is likely to feel dejected, meaning sad and disheartened due to feeling invalidated or rejected. It is a common emotional response to a situation where one's worth or validity is questioned or denied. Option B, shamefully fearful, does not directly relate to the emotional state associated with being an invalid. Option C, injured, does not capture the emotional aspect but rather focuses on the physical condition. Option D, symbiotic, refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms and is not relevant to the emotional state of an individual after becoming an invalid.

3. What is the best description for the abbreviation LDL?

• A. A group of denominations
• B. A type of lipoprotein
• C. Self-care mobility skills
• D. A certain digital value

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: A type of lipoprotein. LDL stands for Low-density lipoprotein, which is a type of lipoprotein that carries cholesterol through the bloodstream. LDL is often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol because high levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the abbreviation LDL.

4. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.
