1. I will call you when I _____ back from visiting my sister.

• A. get
• B. will get
• C. return
• D. came

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'get' because it appropriately indicates a future action in the sentence. In English, when 'when' is used in future time clauses, the following verb should be in the present simple tense to indicate a future event, making 'get' the correct choice. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. 'Will get' is redundant after 'when' in this context, 'return' is not the appropriate tense for a future action, and 'came' is in the past tense, which is not suitable for a future event.

2. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

3. Which word names an infected swelling with liquid inside?

• A. Blast
• B. Gash
• C. Hive
• D. Boil

Correct answer: D

Rationale: A boil is an infected swelling on the skin filled with pus, which is a type of liquid. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection in a hair follicle or oil gland. The other options, blast, gash, and hive, do not specifically describe an infected swelling with liquid inside like a boil does. A 'blast' is a sudden strong movement or gust, 'gash' refers to a long, deep cut or wound, and 'hive' is a skin reaction characterized by itchy welts.

4. Choose the meaning of the word vent in the following sentence: 'A tube is used to vent the gases to the outside.'

• A. Block
• B. Trade
• C. Emit
• D. Inhale

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'vent' means to allow the gases to escape or be emitted to the outside. 'Block' is incorrect because it means to obstruct or close off. 'Trade' is incorrect as it refers to the exchange of goods or services. 'Inhale' is incorrect as it means to breathe in, which is the opposite of venting gases out.

5. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.
