1. What is the best description for the term Aseptic?

• A. Sterilized
• B. Purified
• C. Contaminated
• D. Polluted

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Purified.' Aseptic means free from contamination or sterile. While 'Sterilized' (choice A) is related to the elimination of all microorganisms, aseptic goes beyond sterilization to ensure freedom from contamination in a broader sense. 'Contaminated' (choice C) and 'Polluted' (choice D) are incorrect as they mean the opposite of aseptic, implying the presence of unwanted or harmful substances.

2. Which word correctly completes the sentence? 'Most children must learn for ___ the importance of good manners.'

• A. Themself
• B. Theirself
• C. Theirselves
• D. Themselves

Correct answer: D

Rationale: 'Themselves' is the correct reflexive pronoun to use when referring to 'children' in the plural form. The other options, 'themself,' 'theirself,' and 'theirselves' are not grammatically correct as they do not match the plural subject 'children.'

3. What is the meaning of Augment?

• A. To decrease
• B. Add to
• C. Eliminate
• D. Diminish

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct meaning of the word 'Augment' is 'to add to something.' Therefore, choice B, 'Add to,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest actions that involve reducing or decreasing something, which is the opposite of augmenting.

4. What is the correct verb to complete the sentence? 'Economics ___ my least favorite subject at school.'

• A. Is
• B. Been
• C. Am
• D. Are

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Is.' In this sentence, 'Economics' is being treated as a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular. 'Is' is the correct singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice B, 'Been,' is incorrect because it is the past participle form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice C, 'Am,' is incorrect because it is the first-person singular form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.' Choice D, 'Are,' is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb 'be' and does not agree with the singular subject 'Economics.'

5. What is another word for Asymmetric?

• A. Even
• B. Uneven
• C. Identical
• D. Matching

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Uneven.' Asymmetric means lacking symmetry or being uneven, so the term 'Uneven' is the most appropriate synonym. 'Even' (choice A) means equal or level, which is the opposite of asymmetric. 'Identical' (choice C) means similar or the same, and 'Matching' (choice D) means corresponding or fitting together, neither of which captures the meaning of asymmetric.
