1. The plumber used a tube to navigate through the curved pipe. What type of tube would be most suitable for this task?

• A. Solid
• B. Rigid
• C. Flexible
• D. Perforated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A flexible tube would be appropriate for navigating through a curved pipe as it can bend and maneuver easily within the pipe's shape. This flexibility allows the plumber to access and address any blockages or issues efficiently. Solid and rigid tubes would be challenging to use in a curved pipe due to their lack of flexibility, making navigation difficult. Perforated tubes, with holes, are not typically used for this purpose and are more suited for specific applications like drainage systems.

2. A condition that is chronic is ___________.

• A. harmless
• B. critical
• C. contagious
• D. recurring

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'recurring.' A chronic condition is one that is ongoing or long-lasting, implying that it persists or recurs over a prolonged period of time. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because chronicity does not necessarily imply harmlessness, criticality, or contagion; rather, it refers to the persistent or recurring nature of the condition.

3. Which word describes a screen or filter?

• A. Permeable
• B. Incendiary
• C. Exuding
• D. Resilient

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'permeable' refers to a material or surface that allows liquids, gases, or substances to pass through it, while screening or filtering out impurities. This makes it an appropriate descriptor for a screen or filter, which function by allowing certain elements to pass through while retaining others. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: 'Incendiary' means causing fires, 'Exuding' means giving off or releasing, and 'Resilient' means able to withstand or recover from difficult conditions.

4. What is another word for latent?

• A. Flagrant
• B. Dormant
• C. Deceased
• D. Postponed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dormant. Latent and dormant are synonymous and refer to something existing but not currently active or evident. Choice A, 'Flagrant,' means something that is conspicuously offensive, blatant, or glaring, which is the opposite of latent. Choice C, 'Deceased,' means no longer alive, which is unrelated to latent. Choice D, 'Postponed,' means to delay or reschedule to a later time, which is not synonymous with latent.

5. Select the meaning of the word 'spurious' in the sentence: 'The researcher’s spurious argument confused even the experts.'

• A. Bogus
• B. Obscure
• C. Baffling
• D. Outrageous

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'spurious' in this sentence means something that is false or not genuine. In this context, the researcher's argument was misleading or deceitful, confusing even the experts. 'Bogus' means not genuine or false, which aligns closely with the intended meaning of 'spurious.' The other choices, 'obscure,' 'baffling,' and 'outrageous,' do not capture the essence of being false or deceitful, making them incorrect in this context.
