1. Replete is best defined as being ___________.

• A. hardy
• B. quiet
• C. full
• D. sad

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Replete means filled to the utmost capacity or complete in every detail. Therefore, the best definition of replete from the given choices is 'full.' Choice A, 'hardy,' does not accurately reflect the meaning of replete. Choice B, 'quiet,' is unrelated to the definition of replete. Choice D, 'sad,' is also not synonymous with the term replete.

2. What is another word for ANTICIPATE?

• A. Predict
• B. Evaluate
• C. Compare
• D. Forestall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Predict.' Anticipate and predict are synonyms, both implying foreknowledge or expectation. 'B: Evaluate,' 'C: Compare,' and 'D: Forestall' do not directly relate to the meaning of anticipate and are therefore incorrect choices.

3. Which word means TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BEFORE MAKING A DECISION?

• A. Imply
• B. Transgress
• C. Allay
• D. Ruminate

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'ruminate' means to think deeply about something before making a decision. It specifically implies reflecting or pondering carefully on a matter, indicating a thoughtful consideration process. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Imply' means to suggest indirectly, 'transgress' means to go beyond limits or boundaries, and 'allay' means to diminish or put to rest feelings of fear or suspicion. These words do not convey the concept of thoughtful contemplation before making a decision.

4. Another word for PRECAUTION is?

• A. Routine procedure
• B. Preventive measure
• C. Habit
• D. Safeguard

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Another word for PRECAUTION is a preventive measure because both terms refer to actions taken in advance to prevent something untoward from happening. They are proactive steps aimed at avoiding potential risks or harm. While a routine procedure and habit may involve general practices, a preventive measure specifically denotes a proactive step taken to avert potential dangers or issues. 'Routine procedure' is incorrect as it does not necessarily imply preventive action. 'Habit' is incorrect as it refers to repeated behaviors rather than proactive steps. 'Safeguard' is incorrect as it generally means protection rather than a proactive preventive action.

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.
