1. Select the word that means 'a violent seizure.'

• A. revelation
• B. nutrient
• C. contraption
• D. paroxysm

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Paroxysm' is the correct answer as it refers to a sudden, violent seizure or outburst. The other choices are incorrect because 'revelation' means a surprising and previously unknown fact, 'nutrient' refers to a substance that provides nourishment, and 'contraption' means a machine or device that is strange or unnecessarily complicated.

2. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? "You should always do the write thing."

• A. Do
• B. Always
• C. Write
• D. Should

Correct answer: C

Rationale: "Write" is incorrect in this context. It should be "right," referring to the correct or moral action.

3. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

4. If the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then they could be heard __________.

• A. Thorough
• B. Thought
• C. Through
• D. Throughout

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'throughout' means in every part of a place or thing. In this context, if the sound of the bells could be heard in the entire community, then it implies that the sound could be heard throughout the community, making 'Throughout' the most appropriate answer. Choice A 'Thorough' means complete or absolute, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Choice B 'Thought' is a past tense form of the verb 'think,' which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. Choice C 'Through' is a preposition and does not convey the intended meaning of being heard in every part of the community.

5. Ventral refers to which part of the body?

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

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Ventral refers to the front part of the body or an organ. It is the opposite of dorsal, which refers to the back part. So, when describing the direction or location of an anatomical structure, ventral would mean towards the front. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Front.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'Top' refers to superior, 'Bottom' refers to inferior, and 'Back' refers to dorsal, not ventral.
