• D. Rot

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Another word for putrefy is 'rot.' Putrefy means to decay or decompose, especially through the action of bacteria. Similarly, rot refers to the process of decaying or decomposing, making it a synonymous term in this context. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. 'Discharge' means to release or let out, 'harden' means to make or become hard, and 'panic' refers to sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, none of which are synonymous with putrefy.

2. 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.

3. Which part of the sentence contains a typographical error?

• A. To a
• B. Very strong
• C. Being
• D. Went from

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. The phrase 'Went form' contains a typographical error. It should be 'went from' to indicate the change in condition correctly. Choice A 'To a,' choice B 'Very strong,' and choice C 'Being' are grammatically correct and do not contain any typographical errors in the given sentence.

4. A body part that has atrophied has ______.

• A. Enlarged
• B. Withered
• C. Swollen
• D. Damaged

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Withered.' Atrophied means that a body part has wasted away or decreased in size. 'Enlarged' (Choice A) means to make or become larger, which is the opposite of atrophied. 'Swollen' (Choice C) means to become larger or rounder in size, usually due to fluid retention or inflammation, which is not the same as atrophied. 'Damaged' (Choice D) means harmed or injured, but it does not specifically refer to the wasting away or shrinking of a body part.

5. What is the meaning of the word 'proscribe'?

• A. anticipate
• B. prevent
• C. defeat
• D. forbid

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'forbid.' 'Proscribe' means to officially forbid or prohibit something. Choice A, 'anticipate,' is incorrect as it means to expect or predict something. Choice B, 'prevent,' is incorrect as it means to stop something from happening. Choice C, 'defeat,' is incorrect as it means to overcome or win against someone or something, which is not the meaning of 'proscribe.' Therefore, the most appropriate meaning for 'proscribe' among the given choices is to forbid.
