1. What does 'Deficit' mean?

• A. An excess of something
• B. A deficiency or lack of something
• C. An abundance of something
• D. A stable amount

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A deficiency or lack of something.' The term 'deficit' refers to a shortage or inadequacy of something. Choice A is incorrect because a surplus means an excess, which is the opposite of a deficit. Choice C is incorrect as an abundance signifies a large quantity or more than enough of something. Choice D is incorrect as a stable amount does not convey the concept of a deficit.

2. Choose the meaning of the word 'intramuscularly' in the following sentence: 'This vaccine must only be used intramuscularly and as a single-dose vial.'

• A. Between muscles
• B. Into muscles
• C. Without muscles
• D. On top of muscles

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The word 'intramuscularly' in the sentence indicates that the vaccine should be used by injection directly into the muscles. This means the correct meaning is 'into muscles,' making option B the most suitable choice. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'intramuscularly' specifically refers to administering something inside the muscle, not between muscles, without muscles, or on top of muscles.

3. Select the meaning of the word 'undulate' in the sentence: 'Each shiver made his muscles undulate beneath his skin.'

• A. Ripple
• B. Shake
• C. Flatten
• D. Unknot

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In this context, 'undulate' means to move in a smooth, wave-like motion. An undulation of muscles is a subtle, continuous rippling or rolling movement, making 'ripple' the most appropriate synonym in this sentence. 'Shake' (Choice B) is incorrect as it implies a more abrupt and irregular movement. 'Flatten' (Choice C) and 'Unknot' (Choice D) are unrelated to the smooth, wave-like motion described in the sentence.

4. What does it mean when an apartment is advertised as being furnished?

• A. It is equipped with articles of furniture
• B. It has a high level of decor
• C. It includes utilities like water and electricity
• D. It is fully renovated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Choice A, 'It is equipped with articles of furniture,' correctly defines a furnished apartment. When an apartment is advertised as furnished, it means that it comes with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, and other necessary items. Choice B is incorrect because being furnished does not necessarily relate to the decor level of the apartment. Choice C is incorrect as utilities like water and electricity are not typically included in the term 'furnished.' Choice D is also incorrect because being furnished does not imply that the apartment is fully renovated, which refers to structural improvements rather than furniture.

5. 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.
