1. The _____ of this weather was that we all got wet.

• A. result
• B. effect
• C. affect
• D. impact

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, 'effect' is the correct term to use as it refers to the outcome or consequence of the weather, which was that everyone got wet. 'Effect' is a noun that indicates the result of a particular action or situation. Choice A 'result' is incorrect because it refers to the outcome of an action, not the outcome of weather. Choice C 'affect' is incorrect as it is used as a verb to show influence or make a difference. Choice D 'impact' is incorrect because it refers to a strong influence or effect.

2. The abbreviation PDR refers to a ___________.

• A. drug
• B. procedure
• C. book
• D. muscle group

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The abbreviation PDR stands for Physician's Desk Reference, which is a widely used book containing information about prescription drugs, including their uses, side effects, and dosages. Therefore, the abbreviation PDR is associated with drugs. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because PDR specifically relates to drugs and not procedures, books, or muscle groups.

3. In which sentence is the form 'fast' used as an adverb?

• A. The fast car drove over the bridge
• B. The car drove fast over the bridge
• C. The runner was fast
• D. He runs fast

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The sentence 'He runs fast' uses 'fast' correctly as an adverb. An adverb is used to describe a verb and in this case, 'fast' is describing how 'he runs.' Choices A, B, and C use 'fast' as an adjective, not an adverb. In choice A, 'fast' is describing the car, in choice B it is describing how the car drove, and in choice C it is describing the runner.

4. What is the meaning of Collusion?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Separation
• D. Rejection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Conspiracy.' Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. Choice A, 'Cooperation,' is incorrect as collusion implies a deceptive or dishonest agreement, not a genuine cooperation. Choice C, 'Separation,' is incorrect as it denotes the opposite of collusion, which involves working together secretly. Choice D, 'Rejection,' is unrelated to collusion, which involves secret cooperation for deceptive purposes.

5. What is another word for Asymmetric?

• A. Even
• B. Uneven
• C. Identical
• D. Matching

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Uneven.' Asymmetric means lacking symmetry or being uneven, so the term 'Uneven' is the most appropriate synonym. 'Even' (choice A) means equal or level, which is the opposite of asymmetric. 'Identical' (choice C) means similar or the same, and 'Matching' (choice D) means corresponding or fitting together, neither of which captures the meaning of asymmetric.
