1. Select the word that means 'something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion.'

• A. supplement
• B. complement
• C. detriment
• D. acumen

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'supplement.' A supplement is something added to resolve a deficiency or obtain completion. Choice B, 'complement,' means something that completes or goes well with something. Choice C, 'detriment,' refers to something that causes harm or damage. Choice D, 'acumen,' means the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions.

2. Before his death at age 82, comedian Rodney Dangerfield's motto was, 'I don't get _____.'

• A. respect
• B. sympathy
• C. attention
• D. care

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: respect.' Rodney Dangerfield was famously known for his catchphrase 'I don't get no respect,' which perfectly aligns with the concept of respect being his motto. The other choices, 'B: sympathy,' 'C: attention,' and 'D: care,' do not accurately capture Dangerfield's well-known persona and catchphrase. Therefore, 'A: respect' is the most suitable answer.

3. 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.

4. What word describes a trip to Hawaii that a vacationer FELT was too short?

• A. Ponderous
• B. Salacious
• C. Ephemeral
• D. Erudite

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'ephemeral' means lasting for a very short time. In this context, a vacationer feeling that their trip to Hawaii was too short implies that they found it to be brief or fleeting, making 'ephemeral' the most suitable choice among the options provided. Ponderous means slow and clumsy; salacious means obscene or lustful; erudite means showing great knowledge or learning. These words do not convey the idea of brevity or shortness, unlike 'ephemeral,' which perfectly fits the scenario described.

5. What does Incidence mean?

• A. Occurrence
• B. Disappearance
• C. Growth
• D. Repetition

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Occurrence.' Incidence refers to the frequency or occurrence of something happening. Choice B, 'Disappearance,' is incorrect as it means vanishing or ceasing to exist. Choice C, 'Growth,' is incorrect as it refers to an increase in size, number, or development. Choice D, 'Repetition,' is incorrect as it means the action of repeating something that has already been said or written.
