1. What is the meaning of histrionics?

• A. Accomplishments
• B. Daring acts
• C. Examinations
• D. Emotional behavior

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Emotional behavior.' Histrionics refer to exaggerated or dramatic emotional behavior, often characterized by theatricality or over-the-top expressions of emotions. It is more related to dramatic and exaggerated emotional displays rather than accomplishments, daring acts, or examinations. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because histrionics specifically pertain to emotional behavior and not achievements, daring actions, or assessments.

2. It is required that he _____ payment immediately.

• A. make
• B. sends
• C. sent
• D. deliver

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'make.' In this context, 'make' is the correct verb to use with 'payment.' The sentence structure requires a base form of the verb after 'required that.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as 'sends,' 'sent,' and 'deliver' do not match the structure needed in this sentence.

3. The accident _____ if the motorist had obeyed the speed limit sign.

• A. could have happened
• B. never would have happened
• C. wouldn't have occurred
• D. could happen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'never would have happened.' This choice correctly expresses the hypothetical outcome that did not occur due to the motorist obeying the speed limit sign. The phrase 'never would have happened' is the most suitable option in this context as it indicates a past event that was prevented by following a certain condition. Choice A ('could have happened') is incorrect as it does not convey the same level of certainty and definiteness as 'never would have happened.' Choice C ('wouldn't have occurred') is close but lacks the emphasis on the event not taking place at all. Choice D ('could happen') is in the present tense and does not fit the context of a past hypothetical situation.

4. What is the definition of the word ENVIRONMENT?

• A. the major ideas of the quality of life
• B. the assistance found outside the family
• C. the elements inside and outside of a person
• D. the positive and negative aspects of a home

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The word 'environment' refers to the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. It encompasses the elements both inside and outside of an individual, including physical, biological, social, and cultural factors. Option C, which mentions the elements inside and outside of a person, is the most accurate description of the word 'environment.' Choices A, B, and D do not capture the comprehensive nature of the term 'environment' and are therefore incorrect.

5. What does intact mean?

• A. Damaged
• B. In place, unharmed
• C. Destroyed
• D. Incomplete

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In place, unharmed.' 'Intact' refers to something that is whole, undamaged, or unharmed. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they describe states opposite to what intact means. 'Damaged,' 'Destroyed,' and 'Incomplete' all signify a lack of wholeness or harm, which is contrary to the meaning of intact.
