1. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.

2. What is another word for ANTICIPATE?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Predict.' Anticipate and predict are synonyms, both implying foreknowledge or expectation. 'B: Evaluate,' 'C: Compare,' and 'D: Forestall' do not directly relate to the meaning of anticipate and are therefore incorrect choices.

3. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. It is a clear, yellowish liquid having a peculiar ethereal, fruity odor.

• A. Aerated
• B. Incapacitating
• C. Delicate
• D. Distinctive

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The word 'distinctive' means having a quality that makes something unique or easily recognizable. In the context of the sentence provided, the clear, yellowish liquid with a peculiar ethereal, fruity odor is being described as having a noticeable and unique quality. Choice A, 'aerated,' means to introduce air into a substance, which does not fit the description of the liquid in the sentence. Choice B, 'incapacitating,' means to deprive of strength or ability, which is not relevant to the description of the liquid. Choice C, 'delicate,' means fragile or easily broken, and while it is somewhat related to the context of the sentence, it does not fully capture the unique and recognizable aspect described in the sentence.

4. What does 'Contract' mean?

• A. To expand
• B. To draw together
• C. To elongate
• D. To dissolve

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To draw together.' Contract means to reduce in size or draw together. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest actions opposite to what contracting means. A: 'To expand,' C: 'To elongate,' and D: 'To dissolve' all indicate actions that involve increasing in size or breaking apart, which are the opposite of what contracting means.

5. What term refers to the description of events in the order of their occurrence?

• A. Chronology
• B. Notation
• C. Documentation
• D. Helicon

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Chronology,' which specifically means the arrangement of events in the order of their occurrence. 'Notation' refers to a system of symbols or signs used to represent information. 'Documentation' is the process of recording information, while 'Helicon' does not relate to the description of events.
