1. What does the term 'counterfeit' mean?

• A. Real
• B. Fake
• C. Accurate
• D. Honest

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fake.' Counterfeit refers to something that is not genuine or a copy made to deceive. Choice A, 'Real,' is incorrect because counterfeit items are not real. Choice C, 'Accurate,' is incorrect as counterfeit implies inaccuracy. Choice D, 'Honest,' is incorrect as counterfeit items are deceptive and not honest.

2. Another word for ASSURED is?

• A. Confirmed the truth of
• B. Sympathized with
• C. Denied the truth of
• D. Made known to

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'assured' means to have made certain or confident of something. 'Confirmed' is a synonym that aligns with this meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 'Confirmed the truth of.' Choice B, 'Sympathized with,' does not have a similar meaning to 'assured.' Choice C, 'Denied the truth of,' is the opposite in meaning to 'assured.' Choice D, 'Made known to,' does not convey the same sense of certainty as 'assured.'

3. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY? It sure isn't going to rain during the next playoff.

• A. Ain't
• B. During
• C. Sure
• D. Playoff

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. 'Ain't' is not grammatically correct in formal writing or speech; it should be 'isn't.' 'Ain't' is considered slang and is not appropriate for formal contexts. The other choices ('During,' 'Sure,' 'Playoff') are used correctly in the sentence.

4. What is the meaning of the word 'proscribe'?

• A. anticipate
• B. prevent
• C. defeat
• D. forbid

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'forbid.' 'Proscribe' means to officially forbid or prohibit something. Choice A, 'anticipate,' is incorrect as it means to expect or predict something. Choice B, 'prevent,' is incorrect as it means to stop something from happening. Choice C, 'defeat,' is incorrect as it means to overcome or win against someone or something, which is not the meaning of 'proscribe.' Therefore, the most appropriate meaning for 'proscribe' among the given choices is to forbid.

5. What does 'internal' mean?

• A. Near the surface of the body
• B. Located within the body
• C. Outside the body
• D. Far from the body

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Internal means located within the body. When something is described as internal, it refers to being inside the body or contained within the boundaries of an organism. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they describe locations that are either near the surface, outside, or far from the body, respectively, which are not the meanings of 'internal.'
