• A. A medical condition
• B. Sex of an individual
• C. Emotional state
• D. A psychological term

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gender refers to the biological and social characteristics that define male and female identities. It is not a medical condition, emotional state, or psychological term. The term 'gender' specifically relates to the sex of an individual, distinguishing between traits associated with being male or female. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

2. What does 'Deficit' mean?

• A. An excess of something
• B. A deficiency or lack of something
• C. An abundance of something
• D. A stable amount

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A deficiency or lack of something.' The term 'deficit' refers to a shortage or inadequacy of something. Choice A is incorrect because a surplus means an excess, which is the opposite of a deficit. Choice C is incorrect as an abundance signifies a large quantity or more than enough of something. Choice D is incorrect as a stable amount does not convey the concept of a deficit.

3. Another word for the gonads might be the ___________.

• A. sperm
• B. vagina
• C. testes
• D. pelvis

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Another word for the gonads would be the testes in males and ovaries in females. The gonads are the primary reproductive organs that produce gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) and sex hormones. The term 'testes' specifically refers to the male gonads, while 'ovaries' would refer to the female gonads. Therefore, 'testes' is the correct answer as it directly relates to the male gonads, making choices A, B, and D incorrect.

4. If you are at the zenith of your career, you are ___________.

• A. just getting started
• B. preparing for retirement
• C. at the pinnacle of success
• D. having trouble with your superiors

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When someone is at the zenith of their career, it means they have reached the highest point or peak of success in their professional life. This suggests that they have achieved their utmost potential and are enjoying the height of their career accomplishments. Choice A, 'just getting started,' is incorrect as it implies the beginning of a career rather than the peak. Choice B, 'preparing for retirement,' is incorrect because being at the zenith of one's career usually signifies the prime of one's professional success, not the preparation for retirement. Choice D, 'having trouble with your superiors,' is incorrect as it is unrelated to the concept of reaching the peak of success in one's career.

Rationale: The correct phrase to use in this context is 'that has,' indicating possession or similarity between words. Synonyms are words that have meanings similar to those of other words, making choice A the most appropriate selection. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convey the relationship of possessing similar meanings between words.
