1. Someone who is FRUSTRATED/ANNOYED is?

• A. Exacerbated
• B. Transient
• C. Lithe
• D. Terse

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'exacerbated' means to make a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling worse. If someone is frustrated or annoyed, they are likely feeling worse due to a particular situation or circumstance. Choice B, 'transient,' means temporary or short-lived, which does not directly relate to the feeling of being frustrated or annoyed. Choice C, 'lithe,' means thin, supple, and graceful, which is not synonymous with being frustrated or annoyed. Choice D, 'terse,' means brief and to the point, which is unrelated to the context of feeling frustrated or annoyed.

2. What is the definition of the word ENVIRONMENT?

• A. the major ideas of the quality of life
• B. the assistance found outside the family
• C. the elements inside and outside of a person
• D. the positive and negative aspects of a home

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'environment' refers to the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. It encompasses the elements both inside and outside of an individual, including physical, biological, social, and cultural factors. Option C, which mentions the elements inside and outside of a person, is the most accurate description of the word 'environment.' Choices A, B, and D do not capture the comprehensive nature of the term 'environment' and are therefore incorrect.

3. The patients are under 'quarantine'. What does this mean?

• A. Confinement away from the general population
• B. A specialist’s care
• C. Experimental drug therapy
• D. Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Confinement away from the general population.' Quarantine refers to keeping someone isolated from the general population to prevent the spread of disease. Choice B, 'A specialist’s care,' is incorrect as it refers to medical treatment by a specialist, not isolation. Choice C, 'Experimental drug therapy,' is incorrect as it involves the administration of new drugs for research purposes, not isolation. Choice D, 'Imprisonment in a rehabilitation unit,' is incorrect as it implies being detained in a rehabilitation facility, not isolation for health reasons.

4. 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.

5. Which sentence uses the word 'present' as an adjective?

• A. She gave a present to her friend
• B. She was present at the meeting
• C. She made a present for her friend
• D. The teacher presented the award

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The sentence 'She was present at the meeting' uses 'present' as an adjective. In this context, 'present' describes her state of being at the meeting. The other choices use 'present' as a verb (to give), a noun (a gift), and a verb (to show), making them incorrect in the context of looking for the adjective use of 'present'.
