1. Another word for ASSURED is?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'assured' means to have made certain or confident of something. 'Confirmed' is a synonym that aligns with this meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Confirmed the truth of.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' does not have a similar meaning to 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is the opposite in meaning to 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' does not convey the same sense of certainty as 'assured.'

2. What is your “funny bone” actually?

• A. Humerus
• B. Ulnar nerve
• C. Carpal bone
• D. Biceps brachii

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Your 'funny bone' is actually your ulnar nerve, not a bone. The ulnar nerve runs along the inside part of your elbow and is easily bumped or compressed, leading to a tingling or slightly painful sensation that is commonly referred to as hitting your funny bone. The humerus (Choice A) is the long bone in your upper arm, the carpal bone (Choice C) is a bone in your wrist, and the biceps brachii (Choice D) is a muscle in your upper arm. Therefore, the correct answer is the ulnar nerve (Choice B).

3. What is another word for deluge?

• A. Earthquake
• B. Dimness
• C. Downpour
• D. Chasm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "deluge" is a sudden and heavy rainfall or flood, so the word that is most closely related in meaning to "deluge" is "downpour," which also refers to a heavy and sustained rainfall. The other choices, "earthquake," "dimness," and "chasm," do not relate to a flooding or heavy rainfall situation.

4. What is another word for ANTICIPATE?

• A. Predict
• B. Evaluate
• C. Compare
• D. Forestall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Predict.' Anticipate and predict are synonyms, both implying foreknowledge or expectation. 'B: Evaluate,' 'C: Compare,' and 'D: Forestall' do not directly relate to the meaning of anticipate and are therefore incorrect choices.

5. The plumber used a tube to navigate through the curved pipe. What type of tube would be most suitable for this task?

• A. Solid
• B. Rigid
• C. Flexible
• D. Perforated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A flexible tube would be appropriate for navigating through a curved pipe as it can bend and maneuver easily within the pipe's shape. This flexibility allows the plumber to access and address any blockages or issues efficiently. Solid and rigid tubes would be challenging to use in a curved pipe due to their lack of flexibility, making navigation difficult. Perforated tubes, with holes, are not typically used for this purpose and are more suited for specific applications like drainage systems.
