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 tepid bathwater?

• A. Water that is salty
• B. Water that is lukewarm
• C. Water that is icy
• D. Water that is half-full

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Tepid bathwater refers to water that is neither too hot nor too cold, but rather lukewarm in temperature. It is a comfortable and soothing temperature for bathing or soaking. Choice A is incorrect because tepid water is not salty. Choice C is incorrect because icy water is cold, not tepid. Choice D is incorrect as half-full refers to the quantity of water, not its temperature.

• A. Selfish
• B. Charitable

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Altruistic individuals exhibit selfless concern for others, demonstrating a charitable nature. Therefore, being described as charitable aligns with the trait of altruism. Choice A, 'Selfish,' is the opposite of altruistic as it denotes concern only for oneself. Choice C, 'Greedy,' implies a strong desire for more and is not synonymous with altruism. Choice D, 'Hateful,' suggests a feeling of strong dislike, which is not reflective of altruistic behavior.

Choice A, 'Reduce,' is incorrect as it means to make something smaller or lessen its quantity. Choice B, 'Contaminate,' is incorrect as it means to make something impure or harmful. Choice C, 'Eliminate,' is incorrect as it means to completely remove or get rid of something.
