1. The salesman recommended that he _____ his receipt for at least a month.

• A. keep
• B. keeps
• C. held
• D. saved

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'keep.' In this context, the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, where the base form of the verb should be used after the word 'recommended.' Therefore, 'keep' is the appropriate verb choice. 'Keeps' (choice B) is incorrect as it does not align with the grammatical structure required in this sentence. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they do not match the verb form needed for the subjunctive mood.

2. Choose the meaning of the word 'yaw' in the following sentence: 'The robotic arm may yaw too much and need adjusting.'

• A. To gape open
• B. To move up and down
• C. To close tightly
• D. To move side to side

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the term 'yaw' refers to a movement where the robotic arm moves side to side. The context suggests that the arm is exhibiting too much of this side-to-side movement and requires adjustment to rectify the issue. Choice A, 'to gape open,' is incorrect as 'yaw' does not imply opening. Choice B, 'to move up and down,' is incorrect as 'yaw' specifically refers to side-to-side movement. Choice C, 'to close tightly,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the movement described in the sentence.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'inquest' in the following sentence: 'Many interesting discoveries were made at the inquest.'

• A. Tryout
• B. Intake
• C. Autopsy
• D. Checkup

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'inquest' typically refers to a legal investigation or inquiry, especially into the cause of someone's death. In this context, an 'inquest' is associated with conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. A 'tryout' refers to a test or trial, 'intake' relates to the process of taking something in, such as food or air, and a 'checkup' is a general medical examination.

4. What is another word for unruffled?

• A. Concerned
• B. Wholesome
• C. Tedious
• D. Composed

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Unruffled means calm and not agitated. The word 'composed' also means calm and collected, making it the correct synonym in this context. 'Concerned' (choice A) means worried or anxious, 'wholesome' (choice B) means promoting health and well-being, and 'tedious' (choice C) means boring or monotonous, making them all incorrect choices.

5. What does oral mean?

• A. Through the skin
• B. Given through or affecting the mouth
• C. Injected
• D. Absorbed through digestion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Given through or affecting the mouth.' Oral medications are those that are taken by mouth. Choice A is incorrect as 'Through the skin' refers to something being absorbed through the skin, not through the mouth. Choice C, 'Injected,' is incorrect as oral administration does not involve injection but rather ingestion. Choice D, 'Absorbed through digestion,' is partially correct in that oral medications are indeed absorbed through the digestive system, but the term 'oral' specifically refers to the mouth in this context.
