1. Select the word that means 'take into the body.'

• A. congest
• B. ingest
• C. collect
• D. suppress

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'ingest.' The word 'ingest' means to take into the body, typically referring to food or drink. Choice A, 'congest,' means to block or fill up with fluid. Choice C, 'collect,' means to bring or gather together. Choice D, 'suppress,' means to prevent something from happening or to restrain.

2. Choose the word or phrase that best indicates the meaning of the 'quoted' word. 'Rational' means:

• A. Angry
• B. Reason
• C. Rodent
• D. Proportion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Reason.' 'Rational' means based on reason or logic. Choice A, 'Angry,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the meaning of 'rational.' Choice C, 'Rodent,' is a completely unrelated term. Choice D, 'Proportion,' also does not capture the meaning of 'rational,' which is about being logical or reasonable.

3. What is a Nutrient?

• A. A chemical compound
• B. A substance that provides nourishment
• C. A non-essential mineral
• D. An essential vitamin

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A nutrient is a substance that provides nourishment to the body, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Choice A has been improved to 'A chemical compound' to be more specific. Choice A is incorrect as it is too general and does not specifically describe the role of a nutrient. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on minerals without specifying that all minerals are nutrients. Choice D is also incorrect as it solely emphasizes vitamins, which are just one type of nutrient.

4. Another word for ANTICIPATE is?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Predict.' Anticipate means to expect or foresee something happening in the future. 'Predict' is a synonym for anticipate as both involve forecasting or making an inference about a future event. 'Evaluate' means to assess or judge something, 'Compare' means to note similarities and differences, and 'Forestall' means to prevent or hinder something. These words do not have the same meaning as 'Anticipate.'

5. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence: 'This door to remain unlocked when occupied.'

• A. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• B. This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied
• C. This door remains unlocked when the office is occupied
• D. This door remains unlocked while the office is occupied

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'This door will remain unlocked when the office is occupied.' This choice provides a clear and grammatically correct revision of the original sentence. Choice B is incorrect due to the missing 'will' before 'remain' and 'the' before 'office.' Choice C is incorrect as it does not include 'the office,' making it less specific. Choice D is incorrect as it uses 'while' instead of 'when,' changing the intended meaning.
