1. Choose the best description for the term 'selected plants' in the following sentence: 'Saturated fat comes principally from animal food products and selected plants.'

• A. Plants that have been chosen
• B. Particular plants
• C. Top quality plants
• D. Restricted plants

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The term 'selected plants' in this sentence refers to specific or particular plants that have been chosen intentionally for some reason. It implies that not all plants contribute to saturated fat but only specific ones. The term 'particular plants' best captures this meaning in the context provided. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'selected plants' does not necessarily imply they are of top quality, plants that have been restricted, or chosen without reason. The emphasis is on the specificity of the plants chosen, making 'particular plants' the most suitable description.

2. 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.

3. Identify the dependent clause in this sentence: 'The mother dog left her bed as soon as the puppies were ____.'

• A. slept
• B. sleeping
• C. awake
• D. sleep

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: sleeping.' In the sentence, 'as soon as the puppies were sleeping' functions as the dependent clause. A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a sentence. Choices A, C, and D do not form a dependent clause in the sentence provided. 'Slept' (A) is a verb in the past tense, 'awake' (C) is an adjective, and 'sleep' (D) is a noun. Therefore, 'sleeping' (B) is the only choice that correctly forms the dependent clause in this sentence.

4. What is the best description for an assembled product in the following sentence? The provisions apply to any “electronic product,” which is defined as any manufactured or assembled product (or component, part, or accessory of such product) that, when in operation, (i) contains or acts as part of an electronic circuit and (ii) emits electronic product radiation.

• A. A product that is collected
• B. A product that is legislated
• C. A product that is put together
• D. A product that is agreed upon

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The best description for an assembled product in the given sentence is "a product that is put together," as assembling refers to the action of putting together various parts or components to create a finished product. The sentence mentions that the provisions apply to any "assembled product" along with components, parts, or accessories of the product. Choice A, 'A product that is collected,' is incorrect as collecting does not imply assembling. Choice B, 'A product that is legislated,' is incorrect as legislation is related to laws and regulations, not the physical process of assembling. Choice D, 'A product that is agreed upon,' is incorrect as agreeing upon a product is unrelated to the physical act of assembling it.

5. Which verb is defined as to bring about; cause to happen; to accomplish; to make?

• A. Affect
• B. Accept
• C. Expect
• D. Effect

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'effect.' The verb 'effect' is defined as to bring about, cause to happen, accomplish, or make. It describes the action of making something happen or producing a result. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'affect' means to influence, 'accept' means to receive willingly, and 'expect' means to anticipate. Therefore, the correct choice is D, 'effect.'
