1. The car that he had seen at the Ford dealer was the one that he finally decided to _____.

• A. buy
• B. rent
• C. lease
• D. sell

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'buy' because it is the appropriate verb for purchasing a car. In this context, the person saw a car at the Ford dealer and decided to buy it, indicating ownership. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 'rent,' 'lease,' and 'sell' do not fit the context of deciding to acquire a car for ownership. Renting and leasing involve temporary possession, while selling involves transferring ownership to another party.

2. What does alimentary mean?

• A. Related to nourishment
• B. Related to outflow
• C. Related to simplicity
• D. Related to protection

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The term 'alimentary' is used to describe things that are related to nourishment or the process of providing food or nourishment. It is often associated with the digestive system and the intake of food. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Related to nourishment. Choice B, 'Related to outflow,' is incorrect because alimentary is not associated with outflow but rather with intake. Choice C, 'Related to simplicity,' and choice D, 'Related to protection,' are unrelated to the meaning of alimentary.

3. What is the meaning of ostracize?

• A. Praise
• B. Snub
• C. Accept
• D. Include

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Snub.' To ostracize someone means to intentionally exclude or ignore them. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because ostracize has a negative connotation, opposite of 'Praise,' 'Accept,' and 'Include.' Ostracize involves rejecting or isolating someone, which contrasts with the positive actions associated with the other choices.

4. Something that is systematic is organized and planned. Another word for this might be ___________.

• A. involuntary
• B. universal
• C. formulaic
• D. manual

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'formulaic' means following a formula or set pattern. Therefore, something that is systematic and follows a structured plan can also be described as formulaic. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Involuntary' means done without will or conscious control, 'universal' means affecting, or done by all people or things in the world, and 'manual' means operated or done by hand rather than automatically or electronically. Therefore, 'formulaic' is the most accurate synonym in the given context.

5. Precipitous is best defined as being ____?

• A. Slow
• B. Swift
• C. Gradual
• D. Delayed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Swift.' Precipitous is used to describe something that is steep, sheer, or done suddenly and without careful consideration. For example, a precipitous drop in the stock market. 'Slow' (Choice A), 'Gradual' (Choice C), and 'Delayed' (Choice D) do not align with the meaning of precipitous and are therefore incorrect.
