1. 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.'

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. What is another word for ADHERE?

• A. Remain intact
• B. Loosen
• C. Hold fast
• D. Position next to

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hold fast.' 'Adhere' means to stick firmly to something, which aligns with 'hold fast.' Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Remain intact' does not capture the idea of sticking to something, 'loosen' is the opposite of 'adhere,' and 'position next to' does not convey the sense of sticking or clinging.

4. Select the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence. We will do more tests, as the data so far are inconclusive.

• A. Unsettled
• B. Convincing
• C. Unfavorable
• D. Bewildering

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'inconclusive' in the sentence describes the data as not definitive or final, indicating that further tests are needed to reach a solid conclusion. 'Inconclusive' means not leading to a firm decision or result, making 'unsettled' the most suitable synonym in this context. Choice B, 'convincing,' does not align with the meaning of 'inconclusive' as it suggests that the data is already clear and persuasive, which contradicts the context. Choice C, 'unfavorable,' is not the best fit as 'inconclusive' does not imply a negative or unfavorable outcome but rather indicates a lack of a definitive answer. Choice D, 'bewildering,' does not capture the meaning of 'inconclusive' in this context. Bewildering implies confusion or puzzlement, which is not the intended meaning in the sentence.

5. What is another word for compendium?

• A. Collection
• B. Aptitude
• C. Conclusion
• D. Humor

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A compendium is a collection of concise but comprehensive information on a particular subject. Therefore, another word for compendium is "collection." The term "aptitude" refers to a natural ability to do something, not synonymous with compendium. "Conclusion" is a decision or judgment reached after considering the facts, not related to a compendium. "Humor" refers to the quality of being amusing or comic, not a synonym for compendium.
