• A. Harmless
• B. Entering into a body part
• C. Mildly irritating
• D. Non-penetrative

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Entering into a body part.' 'Invasive' refers to something that invades or penetrates into a body part. Choice A, 'Harmless,' is incorrect as invasive implies a negative impact. Choice C, 'Mildly irritating,' is incorrect as invasive implies a more serious intrusion. Choice D, 'Non-penetrative,' is incorrect as invasive specifically denotes penetration or entry.

2. What does the word 'rapport' mean in the sentence: 'The nurses and teenage aides developed a quick rapport'?

• A. Performance
• B. Narrative
• C. Manner
• D. Bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Bond.' In this context, 'rapport' refers to a close and harmonious relationship or connection between people. The sentence suggests that a bond or connection developed quickly between the nurses and teenage aides. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'rapport' does not relate to performance, narrative, or manner in this context.

3. Which adjective best completes the sentence?

• A. More greater
• B. Great
• C. Best
• D. More greatest

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 'Best' is the correct choice because it conveys the highest quality or degree in comparison, which is appropriate in this context. The sentence is discussing the opinion of coffee experts about a particular coffee blend, indicating that it is the most superior among the options. Choices A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect or redundant. 'More greater' is incorrect due to the redundant use of 'more' and 'greater.' 'Great' is a comparative form that does not fit the superlative context required. 'More greatest' is incorrect due to the unnecessary use of 'more' alongside 'greatest,' which is already a superlative form.

4. What is the meaning of 'belligerent'?

• A. retired
• B. sardonic
• C. pugnacious
• D. acclimated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'pugnacious.' 'Belligerent' means aggressive or combative, which aligns with the definition of 'pugnacious.' Choice A, 'retired,' is incorrect as it does not relate to the aggressive or combative nature of 'belligerent.' Choice B, 'sardonic,' means grimly mocking or cynical, which is not synonymous with 'belligerent.' Choice D, 'acclimated,' means to become accustomed to a new climate or environment, which is unrelated to the meaning of 'belligerent.'
