1. Choose the meaning of the word intact in the following sentence: 'The capsule remains intact even when placed in water.'

• A. Viable
• B. Operational
• C. Tinted
• D. Whole

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'intact' is synonymous with 'whole,' meaning that the capsule remains undamaged or complete even when placed in water. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Viable' means capable of working successfully, 'operational' means in working order, and 'tinted' means slightly colored.

2. Select the meaning of the word 'corpulence' in the sentence: 'The patient’s corpulence made him difficult to handle.'

• A. Belligerence
• B. Gassiness
• C. Wariness
• D. Stoutness

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Stoutness.' The word 'corpulence' refers to the state of being excessively fat or overweight, indicating the patient's stoutness or large size due to excess body weight. Choice A, 'Belligerence,' is incorrect as it means aggressive or hostile behavior, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'Gassiness,' is incorrect as it refers to the state of having excessive gas in the digestive system, which is unrelated to the patient's physical size. Choice C, 'Wariness,' is incorrect as it means cautiousness or being alert, which is not relevant to the patient's physical appearance described in the sentence.

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

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.'

4. Her mother asked her what she would do after she _____.

• A. graduated
• B. completes
• C. finishes
• D. finished

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'graduated.' In reported speech, the verb tense often shifts back, so 'graduated' (past tense) is the appropriate choice here. 'Completes' (present tense), 'finishes' (present tense), and 'finished' (past tense) are incorrect as they do not match the reported speech context where the verb tense typically shifts back. Therefore, 'graduated' is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence.

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.
