1. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.

2. Another word for UNDER OBSERVATION is?

• A. Cognition
• B. Isolation
• C. Surveillance
• D. Assessment

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'Surveillance,' which means 'under observation.' 'Cognition' (A) refers to mental processes, 'Isolation' (B) means being separated from others, and 'Assessment' (D) is the evaluation of something, none of which directly relate to being observed.

3. What is another word for CONCAVE?

• A. Sunburned
• B. Convex
• C. Puffed out
• D. Sunken

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Sunken.' Concave refers to a surface or shape that curves inward, while 'sunken' is the closest synonym, also indicating something that is depressed or hollowed inward. Choice 'B: Convex' is incorrect as it is the opposite of concave, representing a shape that bulges outward. Choices 'A: Sunburned' and 'C: Puffed out' do not relate to the concept of concave shapes.

4. A restricted diet is ___________.

• A. low in fat
• B. vegetarian
• C. banned
• D. limited

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A restricted diet is limited in some way, such as reducing the intake of certain foods, food groups, or nutrients. It may involve limitations on quantity, frequency, or types of foods consumed. This restriction could be related to health factors, allergies, sensitivities, ethical reasons, or personal preferences. Choice A, 'low in fat,' is too specific and does not encompass the broad concept of restriction in a diet. Choice B, 'vegetarian,' refers to a specific dietary pattern but does not necessarily indicate restriction. Choice C, 'banned,' is incorrect as it implies a complete prohibition rather than limitation, which is characteristic of a restricted diet.

5. Which word means TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BEFORE MAKING A DECISION?

• A. Imply
• B. Transgress
• C. Allay
• D. Ruminate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'ruminate' means to think deeply about something before making a decision. It specifically implies reflecting or pondering carefully on a matter, indicating a thoughtful consideration process. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Imply' means to suggest indirectly, 'transgress' means to go beyond limits or boundaries, and 'allay' means to diminish or put to rest feelings of fear or suspicion. These words do not convey the concept of thoughtful contemplation before making a decision.
