1. An inability to be lucid in the early morning means the person is unable to behave in which way?

• A. Coherent
• B. Speculative
• C. Furtive
• D. Animated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An inability to be lucid in the early morning means the person is unable to behave in a coherent way. Lucidity refers to clarity of thought and coherence in one's behavior or speech. If someone is not lucid, they may be confused, disoriented, or unable to express themselves clearly. Therefore, the correct choice is A. Coherent. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because being unable to be lucid does not necessarily mean the person is behaving in a speculative, furtive, or animated way.

2. Choose the meaning of the word suppress in the following sentence: 'A single dose will suppress even the nastiest cough.'

• A. Subdue
• B. Cure
• C. Restore
• D. Affect

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence, the word 'suppress' is synonymous with the word 'subdue.' To suppress a cough means to reduce or restrain it, which aligns with the meaning of subdue. The other options are incorrect: 'Cure' implies completely eliminating the cough, 'Restore' means to bring back to a former condition, and 'Affect' is too general and does not capture the specific meaning of 'suppress' in this context.

3. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.

4. The new mother wanted to use cloth diapers rather than disposables.

• A. Close
• B. Clothing
• C. Cloth
• D. Clothes

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct choice is C. Cloth because in the sentence, the new mother expressed a preference for using cloth diapers over disposables. 'Cloth' refers to a type of diaper material, and it makes sense in the context of the sentence. Choice A, 'Close,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the type of diapers being discussed. Choice B, 'Clothing,' is incorrect as it refers to garments worn on the body, not diapers. Choice D, 'Clothes,' is also incorrect as it is used for general garments, not specific to diapers.

5. What is Diffusion?

• A. Movement of materials from low concentration to high concentration
• B. Movement of materials from high concentration to low concentration
• C. Absorption of nutrients
• D. Breaking of materials

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Diffusion is the process where substances move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs due to the random motion of particles and continues until equilibrium is reached. Choice A is incorrect because diffusion occurs down the concentration gradient, from high to low concentration, not from low to high concentration. Choice C is incorrect as it refers to the uptake of substances by cells, not the general process of diffusion. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately describe the process of diffusion; diffusion involves the movement of substances, not the breaking of materials.
