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. What is the meaning of verified?

• A. Belittled
• B. Confirmed
• C. Anecdotal
• D. Implicit

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Verified means confirmed or proven to be true. When something is verified, it has been established as factual or accurate through thorough examination or evidence. It is the opposite of belittled, anecdotal, or implicit, as those terms do not convey the sense of confirmation or validation that verified does.

3. Select the word that means 'an undesired problem that is the result of some other event.'

• A. Complication
• B. Complement
• C. Procedures
• D. Implemented

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Complication.' A complication refers to a secondary issue or difficulty that arises unexpectedly due to another event. It represents an undesired outcome. Choice 'B: Complement' is incorrect as it means something that enhances or completes, not an undesired problem. Choice 'C: Procedures' is incorrect as it refers to methods or steps, not an undesired problem. Choice 'D: Implemented' is incorrect as it means carried out, not an undesired problem.

4. What is another word for PRECAUTION?

• A. Rule
• B. Routine procedure
• C. Preventive measure
• D. Habit

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Preventive measure.' A precaution is a preventive action taken to avoid harm or danger. 'Rule' (A) and 'Habit' (D) do not capture the essence of being cautious to prevent something negative. 'Routine procedure' (B) is related to a regular way of doing things, but it does not specifically imply taking action to prevent harm.

5. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' ADHERE means to stay firmly attached or stick to something. 'Remain intact' (A) implies staying whole or undamaged, 'Loosen' (B) means to make less tight or firm, and 'Position next to' (D) refers to being placed adjacent to something, which do not accurately capture the meaning of ADHERE.
