1. What is the meaning of verified?

• A. Belittled
• B. Confirmed
• C. Anecdotal
• D. Implicit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verified means confirmed or proven to be true. When something is verified, it has been established as factual or accurate through thorough examination or evidence. It is the opposite of belittled, anecdotal, or implicit, as those terms do not convey the sense of confirmation or validation that verified does.

2. Which of the following sentences is written in the passive voice?

• A. The homework was completed by the student
• B. The student completed the homework
• C. The teacher is grading the papers
• D. The store opens at 9 AM

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'The homework was completed by the student.' This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject (homework) is being acted upon by the student. In passive voice constructions, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. Choices B, C, and D are in active voice where the subject performs the action. In choice B, 'The student completed the homework,' the subject (student) is the one performing the action of completing the homework.

3. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

4. A stye is an infection of the ___________.

• A. eyelid
• B. eardrum
• C. nostril
• D. scalp

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A stye is an infection that occurs at the base of an eyelash or on the eyelid. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes discomfort in the affected area. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because a stye specifically refers to an infection of the eyelid area, not the eardrum, nostril, or scalp.

5. Choose the meaning of the word 'contravene' in the following sentence: 'Did the interns contravene the doctor’s orders?'

• A. Comply with
• B. Misjudge
• C. Comprehend
• D. Disregard

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'contravene' in this sentence means to go against or disobey. Therefore, the correct meaning is closest to 'disregard.' The interns did not follow or comply with the doctor's orders, indicating that they contravened them. 'Comply with' (Choice A) is the opposite of 'contravene,' 'misjudge' (Choice B) and 'comprehend' (Choice C) do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'contravene' in this context.
