1. Where is the posterior part of the body located?

• A. Topmost
• B. Lowermost
• C. Front
• D. Back

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'posterior' refers to the back of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Back.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Topmost' and 'Lowermost' do not specifically refer to the back of the body, and 'Front' is the opposite of 'Back.'

2. He ate four pieces of fried chicken at dinner, and _____ vegetables.

• A. no
• B. some
• C. little
• D. few

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'no' as it implies the absence of vegetables, indicating that he did not consume any vegetables along with the fried chicken. 'Some' (choice B) implies an unspecified quantity of vegetables were eaten, 'little' (choice C) implies a small amount of vegetables, and 'few' (choice D) is used for countable items, not for uncountable items like vegetables.

3. The _____ student was not well liked by his peers.

• A. Geniality
• B. Affably
• C. Gregarious
• D. Detestable

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Detestable.' In this context, 'detestable' means deserving intense dislike, which fits the sentence describing a student who is not well-liked. 'Geniality' (choice A) means warmth and friendliness, which is the opposite of what is described in the sentence. 'Affably' (choice B) means in a friendly and pleasant manner, which doesn't convey the idea of being disliked. 'Gregarious' (choice C) means sociable and outgoing, which is also not suitable for describing someone who is not well-liked.

4. Which of the following sentences is INCOMPLETE?

• A. We sat out the next dance.
• B. While the band played.
• C. The band played a nice slow song.
• D. Everyone enjoyed the dance.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'While the band played.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. The other choices (A, C, D) are complete sentences with a subject and a predicate, conveying a complete thought.

5. What does 'Ingest' mean?

• A. To chew
• B. To swallow for digestion
• C. To spit out
• D. To vomit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To swallow for digestion.' Ingest means to take food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing it. Choice A, 'To chew,' is incorrect as chewing is the act of breaking down food with the teeth. Choice C, 'To spit out,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of ingesting, involving expelling something from the mouth. Choice D, 'To vomit,' is also incorrect as vomiting is forcibly expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth, which is the opposite of ingesting.
