1. What is another word for deluge?

• A. Earthquake
• B. Dimness
• C. Downpour
• D. Chasm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A "deluge" is a sudden and heavy rainfall or flood, so the word that is most closely related in meaning to "deluge" is "downpour," which also refers to a heavy and sustained rainfall. The other choices, "earthquake," "dimness," and "chasm," do not relate to a flooding or heavy rainfall situation.

2. What is the CORRECT CONTRACTION for 'They are'?

• A. Their
• B. They're
• C. The're
• D. No contraction used

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct contraction for 'They are' is 'They're.' 'Their' is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, not a contraction. 'The're' is not a valid contraction. 'No contraction used' is incorrect as there is a contraction for 'They are,' which is 'They're.'

3. What does Elevate mean?

• A. To lower
• B. To lift up or place in a higher position
• C. To flatten
• D. To remove

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'To lift up or place in a higher position.' Elevate means to raise something to a higher level or position. Choice A, 'To lower,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of elevate. Choice C, 'To flatten,' is incorrect as it means to make something level or smooth, not to raise it. Choice D, 'To remove,' is also incorrect as it means to take something away, not to lift or raise it.

4. The bad smell made him __________.

• A. Gag
• B. Enjoy
• C. Remember
• D. Attach

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The bad smell would likely make him gag, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant odor. Gagging is a common response to strong or foul smells as the body seeks to expel the offending odor. Enjoy, Remember, and Attach do not accurately reflect a likely reaction to a bad smell.

5. 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.
