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. A symptom that is transitory is ___________.

• A. short-lived
• B. damaging
• C. fluctuating
• D. degenerating

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A symptom that is transitory is short-lived. It appears temporarily and does not persist for an extended period of time. This term indicates that the symptom is not permanent or continuous but rather temporary or fleeting.\nChoice B, damaging, is incorrect as transitory refers to the duration of the symptom, not its impact. Choice C, fluctuating, is incorrect as it implies the symptom varies in intensity, not necessarily in duration. Choice D, degenerating, is incorrect as it suggests a worsening or deteriorating condition, which is not implied by transitory.

3. Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb?

• A. She has completed the project
• B. She has completed the project
• C. She has been completed the project
• D. She has completed the project

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'She has completed the project.' The sentence uses the present perfect tense with 'has completed,' which is the correct form of the verb. Choice A is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error ('She' requires 'has' instead of 'have'). Choice C is incorrect as it changes the meaning by using the passive voice 'has been completed' instead of the active voice. Choice D is incorrect as 'complete' should be 'completed' to match the present perfect tense.

4. What is the correct pronoun to complete the sentence?

• A. Her
• B. Hers
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'her' is the correct choice because it serves as the object of the preposition 'at.' In this sentence, 'looked at' requires an object pronoun, making 'her' the appropriate choice. Option B, 'Hers,' indicates possession, which is not needed in this context. Options C and D are not pronouns and do not fit grammatically in the sentence.

5. What is another word for ABSTAIN?

• A. Refrain
• B. Indulge
• C. Adhere
• D. Eliminate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Refrain is another word for abstain, as both words mean to resist or hold oneself back from doing something. In contrast, indulge (choice B) means to allow oneself to enjoy something freely, making it the opposite of abstain. Adhere (choice C) means to stick to or follow closely, while eliminate (choice D) means to completely remove or get rid of something. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Refrain,' which is a synonym for 'abstain.'
