1. When you add sugar to it, your cup of coffee becomes not only sweet but also _____.

• A. fattening
• B. healthy
• C. rich
• D. flavorful

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When sugar is added to coffee, it not only becomes sweet but also 'fattening' due to the extra calories added. The term 'fattening' specifically refers to the potential weight gain associated with consuming sugary drinks. Choices B, C, and D do not accurately describe the impact of adding sugar to coffee. 'Healthy' is incorrect because adding sugar typically does not make a beverage healthier. 'Rich' and 'flavorful' may suggest taste qualities but do not address the caloric impact of sugar.

2. What is the meaning of histrionics?

• A. Accomplishments
• B. Daring acts
• C. Examinations
• D. Emotional behavior

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Emotional behavior.' Histrionics refer to exaggerated or dramatic emotional behavior, often characterized by theatricality or over-the-top expressions of emotions. It is more related to dramatic and exaggerated emotional displays rather than accomplishments, daring acts, or examinations. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because histrionics specifically pertain to emotional behavior and not achievements, daring actions, or assessments.

3. What is another word for ANTICIPATE?

• A. Predict
• B. Evaluate
• C. Compare
• D. Forestall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Predict.' Anticipate and predict are synonyms, both implying foreknowledge or expectation. 'B: Evaluate,' 'C: Compare,' and 'D: Forestall' do not directly relate to the meaning of anticipate and are therefore incorrect choices.

4. What is the best description for the term anodyne?

• A. Emulsified
• B. Liquefied
• C. Contaminated
• D. Painkilling

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'anodyne' refers to something that relieves or alleviates pain or discomfort. Therefore, the best description for anodyne is 'painkilling.' Choices A (Emulsified), B (Liquefied), and C (Contaminated) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the meaning of anodyne.

5. What does 'Contour' mean?

• A. Flat area
• B. Shape or outline of something
• C. Volume of a structure
• D. Height of a structure

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Contour' specifically refers to the shape or outline of something. In art and geography, contours are used to represent the outline or shape of an object or landform, making choice B the correct definition. Choice A, 'Flat area,' is incorrect as it does not capture the essence of contour which is about the shape or outline. Choice C, 'Volume of a structure,' is unrelated to the concept of contour. Choice D, 'Height of a structure,' is also incorrect as contour is more about the shape and not the height of an object.
