1. When a child has a stuffy nose, they might find it hard to?

• A. Breathe
• B. Breathing
• C. Breath
• D. Breadth

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Breathe.' When a child has a stuffy nose, the difficulty they experience is related to the action of breathing. 'Breathing' (choice B) is a gerund and doesn't fit the context of the question. 'Breath' (choice C) is a noun, not the correct verb form. 'Breadth' (choice D) refers to the extent or width of something and is unrelated to the child's difficulty due to a stuffy nose.

2. Which sentence uses 'etc.' grammatically correct?

• A. The list included diseases such as flu, measles, etc.
• B. The list included flu, measles, etc., and other items.
• C. The list included flu, measles, etc., diseases, and other items.
• D. The list included, flu, etc., measles, diseases, and other items.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct usage of 'etc.' should follow a comma when concluding a list. Option A correctly places 'etc.' at the end of a logical list with a comma before it, following grammatical rules. In option B, a comma should be placed after 'etc.' before introducing 'and other items.' Options C and D either misplace commas or incorrectly use 'etc.' within the list.

3. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

4. What is the meaning of venal?

• A. Vibrant
• B. Savage
• C. Greedy
• D. Fortunate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'venal' means susceptible to corruption, especially by bribery. It is often used to describe individuals who are willing to do dishonest or immoral acts in exchange for money or favors. Therefore, the most appropriate synonym for 'venal' among the given choices is 'greedy.' 'Vibrant' means full of energy and life, 'savage' refers to fierce or violent behavior, and 'fortunate' means having good luck or being favored by fortune, none of which capture the meaning of 'venal.'

5. What is the definition of adverse?

• A. Desirable
• B. Undesired, possibly harmful
• C. Beneficial
• D. Neutral

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'adverse' is used to describe something that is unfavorable, unwanted, or potentially harmful. This makes choice B, 'Undesired, possibly harmful,' the correct definition. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe positive (desirable, beneficial) or neutral characteristics, which are the opposite of what 'adverse' means.
