1. Which word is NOT GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT? During the time he lived in New York, he worked as a writer, an editor, and a library.

• A. An
• B. Library
• C. As
• D. During

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'library' is incorrect in this context. It should be 'librarian' to be grammatically correct. The other choices ('an,' 'as,' 'during') are all grammatically correct and fit appropriately in the sentence.

2. What is the meaning of superfluous?

• A. Maximum
• B. Excessive
• C. Insipid
• D. Soggy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Superfluous means unnecessary or more than what is needed. It refers to something that is excessive or redundant. Choice B, "Excessive," is the correct synonym for superfluous. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. "Maximum" (Choice A) means the greatest possible amount, "Insipid" (Choice C) means lacking flavor or interest, and "Soggy" (Choice D) means soaked with liquid or water.

3. What does 'expand' mean?

• A. To decrease in size
• B. To increase in size or amount
• C. To spread out
• D. To eliminate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. 'Expand' means to increase in size or amount. Choice A, 'To decrease in size,' is the opposite of what 'expand' means. Choice C, 'To spread out,' is related to expanding but does not precisely define the term. Choice D, 'To eliminate,' is not synonymous with the term 'expand.'

4. Which verb is defined as to bring about; cause to happen; to accomplish; to make?

• A. Affect
• B. Accept
• C. Expect
• D. Effect

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'effect.' The verb 'effect' is defined as to bring about, cause to happen, accomplish, or make. It describes the action of making something happen or producing a result. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'affect' means to influence, 'accept' means to receive willingly, and 'expect' means to anticipate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'effect.'

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.
