1. What does Depth mean?

• A. The thickness of an object
• B. Downward measurement from a surface
• C. The length of a surface
• D. The area between two points

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Depth refers to the distance or downward measurement from a surface. It is not the thickness of an object (Choice A), as thickness is the measure of how thick or thin an object is, not necessarily related to depth. Additionally, it is not the length of a surface (Choice C) because length typically refers to the longest dimension of an object rather than its depth. Finally, it is not the area between two points (Choice D) because area is a measure of the space within a boundary defined by points, while depth specifically refers to the vertical distance below a surface.

2. What is Hydration?

• A. The process of dehydrating
• B. Maintenance of body fluid
• C. Loss of water
• D. Draining fluids

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hydration refers to the maintenance of body fluids. Choice A is incorrect as it describes the opposite process, dehydration. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on the result of inadequate hydration rather than the concept itself. Choice D is incorrect as it does not accurately define hydration but rather implies removing fluids.

3. What is the meaning of the word 'hygiene' in the sentence: 'It is not wise to skimp on personal hygiene'?

• A. Measures contributing to cleanliness
• B. Financial resources
• C. Insurance
• D. Friendliness

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness.' In the given sentence, 'hygiene' refers to practices that promote cleanliness and health, such as washing hands, taking showers, and maintaining a clean environment. Choice B, 'Financial resources,' is incorrect as hygiene does not pertain to money matters. Choice C, 'Insurance,' is unrelated to the concept of hygiene. Choice D, 'Friendliness,' is also incorrect as it does not align with the context of personal cleanliness and health.

4. Her guileless manner is one of her most noticeable qualities. What does guileless mean?

• A. Deceptive
• B. Straightforward
• C. Complex
• D. Untrustworthy

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Straightforward.' Guileless means innocent, sincere, and without deceit. It describes someone who is honest and straightforward in their actions and speech. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. 'Deceptive' means misleading or dishonest, 'Complex' means having many intricate parts, and 'Untrustworthy' means not reliable or trustworthy, all of which are opposite in meaning to guileless.

5. What does the term 'Sallow' mean in reference to skin?

• A. Has a reddish tint
• B. Has a yellowish tint
• C. Has a bluish tint
• D. Has a greenish tint

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Sallow skin refers to skin that has a yellowish tint. The term 'sallow' specifically describes a complexion that appears somewhat yellowish or unhealthy. Choice A, 'Has a reddish tint,' is incorrect as sallow skin is not reddish. Choice C, 'Has a bluish tint,' is incorrect as sallow skin is not bluish. Choice D, 'Has a greenish tint,' is incorrect as sallow skin is not greenish.
