1. What does 'internal' mean?

• A. Near the surface of the body
• B. Located within the body
• C. Outside the body
• D. Far from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Internal means located within the body. When something is described as internal, it refers to being inside the body or contained within the boundaries of an organism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they describe locations that are either near the surface, outside, or far from the body, respectively, which are not the meanings of 'internal.'

2. The new manager was easy to get along with. How would you describe the new manager based on this sentence?

• A. Affable (friendly)
• B. Tortuous
• C. Apathetic
• D. Sacrosanct

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct choice is A - Affable (friendly). Affable means friendly and easy to get along with, which aligns with the description of the new manager in the sentence. Choice B, Tortuous, means twisting or complicated, which does not describe the manager's demeanor. Choice C, Apathetic, means showing no interest or enthusiasm, which is the opposite of the manager being easy to get along with. Choice D, Sacrosanct, means holy or sacred, which is not relevant to the context of the sentence.

3. Choose the meaning of the word 'coterie' in the following sentence: 'Julia and her coterie are often out at local clubs until the wee hours.'

• A. A close group of friends
• B. An extended family
• C. An engaged person
• D. A manager or director

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, the word 'coterie' refers to a small group of people who share similar interests or activities, typically a close-knit circle of friends. The other choices are incorrect. 'An extended family' refers to relatives beyond the nuclear family, 'an engaged person' is someone committed to be married, and 'a manager or director' are job roles unrelated to the context of the sentence.

4. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

5. In the address 'Mr. Ryan, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC 20003,' which word is the salutation?

• A. 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
• B. 20003 (Area code)
• C. Ryan
• D. Mr.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D - Mr.' The salutation is the formal title used before a person's name, which in this case is 'Mr.' Other choices are incorrect as '1600 Pennsylvania Ave.' is the street address, '20003' is the zip code, and 'Ryan' is the recipient's name.
