1. The _____ student was not well liked by his peers.

• A. Geniality
• B. Affably
• C. Gregarious
• D. Detestable

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Detestable.' In this context, 'detestable' means deserving intense dislike, which fits the sentence describing a student who is not well-liked. 'Geniality' (choice A) means warmth and friendliness, which is the opposite of what is described in the sentence. 'Affably' (choice B) means in a friendly and pleasant manner, which doesn't convey the idea of being disliked. 'Gregarious' (choice C) means sociable and outgoing, which is also not suitable for describing someone who is not well-liked.

2. What is the meaning of Gender?

• A. A medical condition
• B. Sex of an individual
• C. Emotional state
• D. A psychological term

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gender refers to the biological and social characteristics that define male and female identities. It is not a medical condition, emotional state, or psychological term. The term 'gender' specifically relates to the sex of an individual, distinguishing between traits associated with being male or female. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

3. What is the best description for the term anodyne?

• A. Emulsified
• B. Liquefied
• C. Contaminated
• D. Painkilling

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The term 'anodyne' refers to something that relieves or alleviates pain or discomfort. Therefore, the best description for anodyne is 'painkilling.' Choices A (Emulsified), B (Liquefied), and C (Contaminated) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the meaning of anodyne.

4. Choose the meaning of the word suppress in the following sentence: 'A single dose will suppress even the nastiest cough.'

• A. Subdue
• B. Cure
• C. Restore
• D. Affect

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In the sentence, the word 'suppress' is synonymous with the word 'subdue.' To suppress a cough means to reduce or restrain it, which aligns with the meaning of subdue. The other options are incorrect: 'Cure' implies completely eliminating the cough, 'Restore' means to bring back to a former condition, and 'Affect' is too general and does not capture the specific meaning of 'suppress' in this context.

5. Which of the following is the plural form of the noun 'stimulus'?

• A. Stimulus
• B. Stimuli
• C. Stimulis
• D. Stimula

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Stimuli.' When forming the plural of 'stimulus,' the correct form is 'stimuli.' Choice A, 'Stimulus,' is the singular form, not the plural. Choice C, 'Stimulis,' is an incorrect spelling. Choice D, 'Stimula,' is also an incorrect form for the plural of 'stimulus.' Therefore, 'Stimuli' is the only correct plural form.
