1. What does the word 'furnished' mean in the context of the apartment?

• A. Fully renovated
• B. Equipped with furniture
• C. Includes utilities
• D. Has modern decor

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In real estate, when an apartment is described as 'furnished,' it means that it comes equipped with furniture. This typically includes essential items like beds, sofas, dining tables, and more. Therefore, 'Equipped with furniture' is the correct meaning of 'furnished' in this context. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because being 'furnished' specifically refers to the presence of furniture in the apartment, not renovation status, utilities, or decor style.

2. 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.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'precipitous' in the sentence: 'The precipitous change was considered a good thing.'

• A. Difficult
• B. Abrupt
• C. Gentle
• D. Unanticipated

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Abrupt.' In this context, 'precipitous' is used to describe a change that occurs suddenly or abruptly. Choice A ('Difficult') is incorrect as it does not capture the sudden nature of the change. Choice C ('Gentle') is incorrect as it conveys the opposite meaning of 'precipitous.' Choice D ('Unanticipated') is incorrect as it focuses on the element of surprise rather than the suddenness of the change.

4. Select the meaning of the word 'trepidation' in the sentence: 'The students approached the cadaver with some trepidation.'

• A. Wonder
• B. Confusion
• C. Eagerness
• D. Apprehension

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, the word 'trepidation' is used to describe the feeling the students had when approaching the cadaver. Trepidation means a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that may happen, so it aligns most closely with the meaning of 'apprehension.' The students were hesitant or worried about facing the cadaver. Choice A ('Wonder') is incorrect as trepidation does not signify a feeling of wonder. Choice B ('Confusion') is incorrect as trepidation is not about being confused. Choice C ('Eagerness') is incorrect as trepidation is the opposite of eagerness; it indicates hesitation or anxiety, not excitement or enthusiasm.

5. Which word is NOT used correctly in the sentence? 'A sentence must always begin with a capital letter, but many people forget this rule.'

• A. Must always
• B. Simple
• C. Forget
• D. Capitol

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Capitol.' In this context, 'Capitol' is incorrect as it refers to a building where a legislative body meets. The correct term for uppercase letters is 'capital.' Choice A, 'must always,' is used correctly to emphasize the necessity of starting a sentence with a capital letter. Choice B, 'simple,' is not the incorrect word in the sentence. Choice C, 'forget,' is also used appropriately in the sentence to indicate the action of neglecting the rule.
