Correct answer: A

'Patina' refers to a green or brown film on the surface of bronze or similar metals, 'pastel' is a pale, soft shade or color, and 'pathogen' is a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

4. What does the word Querulous mean?

• A. Shouting
• B. Complaining
• C. Crying
• D. Praising

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Complaining.' Querulous is an adjective that describes someone who is constantly complaining or irritable. It is not related to shouting (Choice A) or crying (Choice C). Choice D, 'Praising,' is the opposite of the meaning of querulous and therefore incorrect.

5. The meteorologist had forecast rain, ____________ Sheila brought her umbrella to work.
