1. LABILE also means .

• A. Extremely changing
• B. Suicidal
• C. Rapidly changing
• D. With a high fever

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'labile' is used to describe something that is constantly changing or easily altered. Therefore, the best synonym for 'labile' is 'extremely changing.' Choice B, 'suicidal,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the meaning of 'labile.' Choice C, 'rapidly changing,' is close but not as precise as 'extremely changing.' Choice D, 'with a high fever,' is completely unrelated to the meaning of 'labile.'

2. What is the meaning of 'Exemplary'?

• A. Disappointing
• B. Praiseworthy
• C. Ordinary
• D. Unacceptable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Praiseworthy.' Exemplary is used to describe something that is commendable, outstanding, or worthy of praise. Therefore, the meaning of 'Exemplary' is praiseworthy, not disappointing, ordinary, or unacceptable. Choice A is incorrect because 'Disappointing' is the opposite of 'Exemplary.' Choice C is incorrect as 'Ordinary' does not reflect the exceptional nature of 'Exemplary.' Choice D is incorrect as 'Unacceptable' is the opposite meaning of 'Exemplary.'

3. After robbing the bank, _____.

• A. the thief fled
• B. he escaped
• C. they hid
• D. they fled

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After robbing the bank, 'the thief fled' is the correct choice as it logically follows the action of robbing a bank. The singular pronoun 'he' in choice B is not appropriate as 'the thief' is singular. Choices C and D use 'they,' which is a plural pronoun and does not agree with 'the thief,' making them grammatically incorrect.

4. To which part of the human body does 'superior' refer?

• A. Top
• B. Bottom
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In human anatomy, the term 'superior' refers to a position or structure that is closer to the top of the body or situated above another structure in relation to the standard anatomical position. This means that choice A, 'Top,' is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the anatomical meaning of 'superior.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to different anatomical directions that are not synonymous with 'superior.' 'Bottom' (choice B) refers to 'inferior,' 'Front' (choice C) relates to 'anterior,' and 'Back' (choice D) corresponds to 'posterior.'

5. What does 'Impaired' mean?

• A. Increased capability
• B. Diminished or lacking usual quality
• C. Hyperactive
• D. Stronger than usual

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Impaired' means diminished or lacking usual quality. This choice is correct as it accurately reflects the meaning of the word. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 'Increased capability,' is the opposite of impaired. Choice C, 'Hyperactive,' refers to excessive activity rather than a lack of usual quality. Choice D, 'Stronger than usual,' does not capture the meaning of impaired.
