1. What does Manifestation mean?

• A. A symptom or sign of a condition
• B. An indication or sign of a condition
• C. A treatment plan
• D. A type of diagnosis

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Manifestation means an indication or sign of a condition. It is not a treatment plan (choice C) or a type of diagnosis (choice D). While choice A is close, 'symptom' is more specific than 'indication' in this context, making choice B the most accurate.

2. What word meaning 'once a year' fits best in the sentence: 'The _____ family reunion picnic was held at the Jones farm instead of the county park.'

• A. regular
• B. annual
• C. biennial
• D. holiday

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'annual' refers to something that happens once every year. 'Regular' could mean frequent but doesn't specify a yearly event. 'Biennial' refers to something occurring every two years, while 'holiday' relates to a special day of celebration, not necessarily an annual event.

3. She went to the party _____ her dislike for the host.

• A. because of
• B. despite
• C. in spite of
• D. due to

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'despite.' 'Despite' is used to indicate a contrast between attending the party and the dislike for the host. 'Because of' (choice A) is incorrect as it would imply that she attended the party specifically because of her dislike for the host. 'In spite of' (choice C) has the same meaning as 'despite' but is less commonly used. 'Due to' (choice D) is incorrect as it is used to show causation, which does not fit the context of the sentence.

4. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.

5. Another word for ANTICIPATE is?

• A. Predict
• B. Evaluate
• C. Compare
• D. Forestall

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Predict.' Anticipate means to expect or foresee something happening in the future. 'Predict' is a synonym for anticipate as both involve forecasting or making an inference about a future event. 'Evaluate' means to assess or judge something, 'Compare' means to note similarities and differences, and 'Forestall' means to prevent or hinder something. These words do not have the same meaning as 'Anticipate.'
