1. What does Consistency refer to?

• A. Color of a fluid
• B. Degree of viscosity, how thick or thin a fluid is
• C. Taste of a fluid
• D. Smell of a fluid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Consistency refers to the degree of viscosity of a fluid, indicating how thick or thin it is. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow, and it determines its consistency. Choices A, color, C, taste, and D, smell, are not related to consistency. Color, taste, and smell are sensory attributes that do not define the physical property of consistency in fluids.

2. Which word is a synonym for ASSURED?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Confirmed the truth of' because 'assured' means to make certain or confident. To confirm the truth of something is to provide certainty, which aligns with the meaning of 'assured.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' is incorrect as it means to express compassion or understanding, which is not synonymous with 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is incorrect as it means to reject or contradict the truth, which is the opposite of 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' is incorrect as it refers to revealing or informing, which is not synonymous with 'assured.'

• B. Excessive
• C. Insipid
• D. Soggy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Superfluous means unnecessary or more than what is needed. It refers to something that is excessive or redundant. Choice B, "Excessive," is the correct synonym for superfluous. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. "Maximum" (Choice A) means the greatest possible amount, "Insipid" (Choice C) means lacking flavor or interest, and "Soggy" (Choice D) means soaked with liquid or water.

4. What does simulated mean?

• A. Imitated
• B. Dampened
• C. Motivated
• D. Recapped

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'simulated' means to imitate or replicate the characteristics or actions of something. It involves creating a representation that resembles the original. In this context, 'imitated' is the correct synonym as it aligns with the idea of mimicking or reproducing something to simulate it. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the concept of imitation or replication, which is central to the meaning of 'simulated.'

5. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'will not'?

• A. Won't
• B. Willn't
• C. Wouldn't
• D. Will'nt

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'will not' is 'won't'. 'Willn't' (Choice B) is not a standard contraction in English. 'Wouldn't' (Choice C) is the contraction for 'would not,' not 'will not.' 'Will'nt' (Choice D) is not a recognized contraction in English. Therefore, 'won't' is the correct choice as the contraction for 'will not.'
