1. An apartment is advertised as being furnished. What does the sentence mean?

• A. It is equipped with articles
• B. It has just been repainted
• C. The first month’s rent must be paid in advance
• D. The utility bills are included in the rental cost

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'It is equipped with articles.' In real estate terms, when an apartment is advertised as 'furnished', it means that the apartment comes equipped with furniture and other necessary items. This choice directly reflects the meaning of a furnished apartment. The other choices are incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment has just been repainted (B), requires the first month’s rent to be paid in advance (C), or includes utility bills in the rental cost (D).

• A. Makes a suggestion about
• B. Gives evidence about
• C. Hints at the idea that
• D. Promotes a plan to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Makes a suggestion about.' The phrase 'suggests that' indicates that the study is proposing or indicating the possibility that vaping may have certain effects on cigarette smoking. It is not stating a fact or providing evidence, but rather making a suggestion or recommendation about the relationship between vaping and cigarette smoking. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the phrase 'suggests that' does not provide evidence, hint at an idea, or promote a plan, but rather presents a suggestion or possibility.

3. What does Collusion refer to?

• A. Agreement
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Misunderstanding
• D. Honesty

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. While choices A, C, and D may involve some level of agreement or understanding, collusion specifically implies a secretive and usually dishonest arrangement, making choices A, C, and D incorrect in this context.

4. What does Gaping mean?

• A. Partially closed
• B. Wide open
• C. Narrow
• D. Sealed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Wide open'. Gaping refers to something being wide open, not partially closed (choice A), narrow (choice C), or sealed (choice D). In the context of the question, 'Gaping' describes something that is open widely.

5. Which term refers to a team captain's exaggerated claim about the number of goals he or she scored during the game?

• A. Hyperbole
• B. Validity
• C. Eulogy
• D. Simile

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Hyperbole.' Hyperbole refers to exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. In this context, the team captain's claim about the number of goals scored is an exaggerated statement, making 'Hyperbole' the most suitable term. 'Validity' refers to the quality of being logically or factually sound and does not fit the scenario described. 'Eulogy' is a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something, typically someone who has died, and is unrelated to the question. 'Simile' is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid, which is not the case in the scenario provided.
