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. Identify the incomplete sentence.

• A. While they were sleeping.
• B. The dog slept.
• C. The sun rises in the east.
• D. They went home.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'While they were sleeping.' This is an incomplete sentence as it lacks a main clause. A complete sentence should have both a subject and a predicate to express a complete thought. In this case, the subordinating conjunction 'while' introduces a dependent clause that needs to be connected to an independent clause to form a complete sentence. Choices B, C, and D are complete sentences as they each contain a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought.

3. Concise is best defined as being ___________.

• A. exact
• B. brief
• C. accurate
• D. assembled

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Concise is best defined as being brief or to the point, expressing much in few words. While accuracy and exactness are important qualities, concise specifically refers to being brief or succinct in communication. Choice A ('exact') is not the best definition, as being precise in language does not necessarily mean being concise. Choice C ('accurate') is also not the best definition, as accuracy relates more to correctness than brevity. Choice D ('assembled') is unrelated to the definition of concise.

4. If they _____ that the weather was going to be so bad, they wouldn't have gone to the beach.

• A. knew
• B. had known
• C. knew
• D. could have known

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: had known.' In this conditional sentence, the past perfect tense is required to indicate that knowing about the weather should have happened before going to the beach. 'Knew' (choice A and C) is in the simple past tense, which doesn't convey the sequence of events accurately. 'Could have known' (choice D) is incorrect as it implies a possibility of knowing in the past, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence where the emphasis is on prior knowledge before going to the beach.

5. Which word names a medicine whose purpose is to induce vomiting?

• A. Laxative
• B. Emetic
• C. Vaccine
• D. Analgesic

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Emetic.' An emetic is a medication specifically designed to induce vomiting. This helps the body expel toxic substances or clear the stomach. Choice A, 'Laxative,' aids in relieving constipation by promoting bowel movements, not inducing vomiting. Choice C, 'Vaccine,' is a substance used to stimulate the immune system against specific diseases, not to induce vomiting. Choice D, 'Analgesic,' refers to a medication used to relieve pain, not to induce vomiting. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect in the context of inducing vomiting.
