1. What sentence should replace the following incorrect sentence? 'This door to remain unlocked during business hours.'

• A. This business must have the door unlocked at all times.
• B. This door to remain unclosed while open.
• C. This sentence is corrected as written.
• D. This door will remain unlocked when the business is open.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The original sentence is incorrect due to awkward phrasing. Choice D, 'This door will remain unlocked when the business is open,' provides a clear and concise correction, specifying that the door should be unlocked only when the business is open. Choices A and B do not address the timing aspect of unlocking the door, making them incorrect. Choice C is incorrect as the original sentence needs a revision to clarify the intended meaning.

2. What does 'abrupt' mean?

• A. Gradual
• B. Sudden
• C. Delayed
• D. Relaxed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Sudden.' Abrupt means something that occurs suddenly, without warning or preparation. It is the opposite of gradual, delayed, or relaxed, which imply a slower or more gentle pace of change or action.

3. What is another word for acrid?

• A. Bitter
• B. Smoky
• C. Nimble
• D. Severe

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Acrid is often used to describe a sharp, unpleasant smell or taste, which is synonymous with bitterness. The word 'bitter' closely relates to the strong and sharp sensation associated with acrid qualities. Choice B, 'Smoky,' does not capture the sharpness or unpleasantness associated with acrid, as it refers more to the presence of smoke. Choice C, 'Nimble,' and choice D, 'Severe,' are unrelated to the meaning of acrid and do not serve as synonyms in this context.

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.
