1. What does Debilitating mean?

• A. Incapacitating
• B. Weakening
• C. Empowering
• D. Strengthening

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Incapacitating.' Debilitating means causing incapacity or weakness, making choice A the most appropriate. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent the opposite of what debilitating means. Weakening (choice B), Empowering (choice C), and Strengthening (choice D) all convey a sense of increasing strength or ability, which is the opposite of the meaning of debilitating.

2. What does ONEROUS mean?

• A. Easy
• B. Burdensome
• C. Interesting
• D. Relaxing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Burdensome.' The term 'onerous' is used to describe something that is burdensome, oppressive, or difficult to deal with. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'easy,' 'interesting,' and 'relaxing' do not convey the same meaning as 'onerous.'

3. After the policeman _____ for several miles, he finally caught up with the man who had stolen the purse.

• A. ran
• B. had run
• C. chased
• D. drove

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this sentence, the correct option is 'had run' as it is the past perfect tense, which is used to indicate an action completed before another past action. The sentence structure requires the past perfect form to show that the running occurred before catching up with the man. 'Ran' (choice A) is in simple past tense and does not convey the sequence of events correctly. 'Chased' (choice C) is the simple past tense of the verb 'chase' and does not align with the past perfect tense needed in the sentence. 'Drove' (choice D) is incorrect as it refers to using a vehicle to pursue someone, whereas the context of the sentence indicates running on foot.

4. What does 'Ongoing' mean?

• A. Ended
• B. Continuous
• C. Delayed
• D. Occasional

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Continuous.' 'Ongoing' is used to describe something that is currently happening or continuing without interruption. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Ended,' 'Delayed,' and 'Occasional' do not reflect the continuous nature associated with 'Ongoing.'

5. What is another word for ABSTAIN?

• A. Refrain
• B. Indulge
• C. Adhere
• D. Eliminate

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Refrain.' 'Refrain' is synonymous with 'abstain,' meaning to hold oneself back. The other choices are incorrect. 'Indulge' means to allow oneself to enjoy the pleasure of something, 'Adhere' means to stick to or follow, and 'Eliminate' means to completely remove or get rid of.
