1. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.

2. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

3. What does 'depress' mean?

• A. To push forward
• B. To press downward
• C. To remove
• D. To elevate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct definition of 'depress' is to press downward. This term is commonly used to describe pushing something downward or making something lower in position or level. Choice A, 'To push forward,' is incorrect as 'depress' does not involve moving something forward. Choice C, 'To remove,' is incorrect as 'depress' does not entail taking something away. Choice D, 'To elevate,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of what 'depress' means.

4. What does 'Obsolete' mean?

• A. Innovative
• B. Outdated
• C. Effective
• D. Advanced

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

5. Which term refers to the surgical removal of an organ's contents?

• A. Excretion
• B. Evisceration
• C. Incision
• D. Reduction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Evisceration.' Evisceration specifically means the surgical removal of an organ's contents. Choice A, 'Excretion,' is the process of eliminating waste products from the body and is not related to surgical procedures. Choice C, 'Incision,' refers to the act of cutting into the body, commonly done in surgeries but not specifically related to removing organ contents. Choice D, 'Reduction,' generally means to make something smaller or lessen its size, which is not the term used for the surgical removal of an organ's contents.
