1. What is the meaning of Collusion?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Conspiracy
• C. Separation
• D. Rejection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Conspiracy.' Collusion refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often for deceitful or illegal purposes. Choice A, 'Cooperation,' is incorrect as collusion implies a deceptive or dishonest agreement, not a genuine cooperation. Choice C, 'Separation,' is incorrect as it denotes the opposite of collusion, which involves working together secretly. Choice D, 'Rejection,' is unrelated to collusion, which involves secret cooperation for deceptive purposes.

2. Select the meaning of the quoted word in the sentence. That is an 'ominous' sign.

• A. A good omen
• B. Without deceit
• C. Threatening
• D. Full of thought

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct meaning of 'ominous' is 'threatening' or indicating something bad is about to happen. A is incorrect because 'ominous' does not signify a good omen. B is incorrect as 'ominous' does not relate to deceit. D is incorrect as 'ominous' does not mean 'full of thought.' Therefore, the most suitable interpretation of 'ominous' in the given sentence is 'Threatening.'

3. What is the meaning of perused?

• A. Passed judgment on
• B. Engaged in
• C. Read thoroughly
• D. Took notes about

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Read thoroughly.' The word 'perused' means to read or examine carefully or in detail. It does not imply passing judgment, engaging in, or taking notes. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because 'perused' specifically refers to reading thoroughly, not making judgments, participating in, or taking notes.

4. Which word is NOT CORRECT? The student did not recognize which backpack was hers.

• A. Backpack
• B. Student
• C. Hers
• D. Recognize

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hers.' The possessive pronoun 'hers' does not require an apostrophe. The use of 'her's' with an apostrophe is grammatically incorrect. Choices A, B, and D ('Backpack,' 'Student,' and 'Recognize') are all spelled correctly and are grammatically sound in the sentence provided.

5. Select the meaning of the word in the sentence: 'The dog developed bilateral weakness in its hindquarters.'

• A. Present on two sides
• B. Available for exercise
• C. Affecting the left side
• D. Affecting the right side

Correct answer: A

Rationale: "Bilateral" refers to something that affects or involves both sides of the body, making "Present on two sides" the correct answer. The other options refer to one-sided or unrelated conditions.
