1. If someone is disseminating information, what are they doing?

• A. Withholding it
• B. Broadcasting it
• C. Destroying it
• D. Complicating it

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When someone is disseminating information, they are spreading it widely or broadcasting it to reach a larger audience. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 'Broadcasting it.' This process involves sharing information to make it widely known and accessible. Choice A, 'Withholding it,' is incorrect as it means keeping information back rather than sharing it. Choice C, 'Destroying it,' is incorrect as it means to eliminate or get rid of the information, which is the opposite of disseminating. Choice D, 'Complicating it,' is incorrect as it means making something more complex or difficult to understand rather than spreading it.

2. What does 'Flushed' refer to?

• A. Swollen
• B. Reddened or ruddy appearance
• C. Discolored
• D. Pale

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Reddened or ruddy appearance.' When someone is flushed, it means they have a red or ruddy complexion, often due to embarrassment, anger, or a physical reaction. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'flushed' specifically refers to a red or ruddy appearance, not swelling, discoloration, or paleness.

3. Which sentence uses the VERB correctly?

• A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
• B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
• C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
• D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.

4. What does alimentary mean?

• A. Related to nourishment
• B. Related to outflow
• C. Related to simplicity
• D. Related to protection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'alimentary' is used to describe things that are related to nourishment or the process of providing food or nourishment. It is often associated with the digestive system and the intake of food. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Related to nourishment. Choice B, 'Related to outflow,' is incorrect because alimentary is not associated with outflow but rather with intake. Choice C, 'Related to simplicity,' and choice D, 'Related to protection,' are unrelated to the meaning of alimentary.

5. The new manager was easy to get along with. How would you describe the new manager based on this sentence?

• A. Affable (friendly)
• B. Tortuous
• C. Apathetic
• D. Sacrosanct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct choice is A - Affable (friendly). Affable means friendly and easy to get along with, which aligns with the description of the new manager in the sentence. Choice B, Tortuous, means twisting or complicated, which does not describe the manager's demeanor. Choice C, Apathetic, means showing no interest or enthusiasm, which is the opposite of the manager being easy to get along with. Choice D, Sacrosanct, means holy or sacred, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence.
