• A. Semblance
• B. Assembly
• C. Appearance
• D. Assemble

Correct answer: D

Rationale: TO GATHER TOGETHER means to bring things or people together in one place. The word "assemble" is synonymous with gathering together and is the most appropriate choice among the given options.

2. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'The men and women of the graduating class ___ their caps in the air.'

• A. Thorough
• B. Through
• C. Threw
• D. Throwing

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Threw.' In this sentence, we need the past tense form of the verb 'throw' to show the action that occurred. Therefore, 'threw' is the correct choice. 'Thorough' (choice A) means complete or exhaustive, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. 'Through' (choice B) is a preposition or an adverb, not the correct verb form. 'Throwing' (choice D) is the present participle form and does not match the past tense needed in the sentence.

3. 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.

4. What is the meaning of SOPORIFIC?

• A. Causing excitement
• B. Inducing sleep
• C. Inhibiting pain
• D. Relieving pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Inducing sleep.' The term 'soporific' refers to something that causes sleepiness or drowsiness, leading to sleep. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of soporific. Choice A is the opposite since it means causing excitement, not drowsiness. Choices C and D are related to pain relief, which is not the primary association with the term soporific.

5. The number of people _____ from other counties to the United States has caused a shift in unemployment in the textile market.

• A. Emigrating
• B. Immigrating
• C. Migrating
• D. Emigrated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Immigrating' because it refers to people coming to live permanently in a foreign country. 'Emigrating' (Choice A) means leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another, which does not fit the context of people coming into the United States. 'Migrating' (Choice C) is a general term for moving from one place to another without emphasizing the aspect of settling in a new country. 'Emigrated' (Choice D) is the past tense of emigrate and does not convey the ongoing action of people moving to the United States.
