1. If you are an assiduous worker, you are probably ______.

• A. Lazy
• B. Industrious
• C. Inconsistent
• D. Procrastinating

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Industrious.' Assiduous means showing great care and perseverance in your work, which aligns with being industrious. Choice A, 'Lazy,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of assiduous. Choice C, 'Inconsistent,' does not directly relate to being assiduous, and choice D, 'Procrastinating,' suggests delaying tasks which is contrary to being assiduous.

2. The bad smell made him __________.

• A. Gag
• B. Enjoy
• C. Remember
• D. Attach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The bad smell would likely make him gag, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant odor. Gagging is a common response to strong or foul smells as the body seeks to expel the offending odor. Enjoy, Remember, and Attach do not accurately reflect a likely reaction to a bad smell.

3. Which phrase correctly completes the sentence? 'As we celebrated the start of the evening festivities, our glasses ___ and a toast was made by our host.'

• A. Were risen
• B. Were rose
• C. Were raised
• D. Arose

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Were raised.' This phrase is the correct passive form, indicating the action of lifting the glasses during the toast. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'were risen' is not grammatically correct, 'were rose' is not the appropriate verb form, and 'arose' does not convey the action of lifting the glasses as required in the sentence.

4. What does the quoted word 'impervious' mean in the following sentence?

• A. Coping well
• B. Enjoying
• C. Not affected
• D. Very sensitive

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Not affected.' In the context provided, 'impervious' means that the client is not affected by pain. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the meaning of 'impervious' in this context. 'Coping well' implies dealing with pain effectively, 'enjoying' does not reflect being unaffected by pain, and 'very sensitive' is the opposite of what 'impervious' means.

5. What does simulated mean?

• A. Imitated
• B. Dampened
• C. Motivated
• D. Recapped

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'simulated' means to imitate or replicate the characteristics or actions of something. It involves creating a representation that resembles the original. In this context, 'imitated' is the correct synonym as it aligns with the idea of mimicking or reproducing something to simulate it. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the concept of imitation or replication, which is central to the meaning of 'simulated.'
