1. Which phrase best completes the sentence: 'Despite _____, he managed to complete the race.'

• A. his injury
• B. his condition
• C. his pain
• D. his fatigue

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: his injury.' In the context of completing a race, an injury would be a significant obstacle to overcome. While choices B, C, and D could also pose challenges, an injury is the most severe hindrance that would make completing a race particularly difficult. His condition, pain, or fatigue may affect performance, but they are not as directly impactful as an injury in this scenario.

2. A condition that is chronic is ___________.

• A. harmless
• B. critical
• C. contagious
• D. recurring

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'recurring.' A chronic condition is one that is ongoing or long-lasting, implying that it persists or recurs over a prolonged period of time. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because chronicity does not necessarily imply harmlessness, criticality, or contagion; rather, it refers to the persistent or recurring nature of the condition.

3. Which term refers to someone who has come to settle in the United States?

• A. Immigrate
• B. Migrate
• C. Immigrant
• D. Emigrant

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, such as the United States. Choice A, 'Immigrate,' refers to the action of entering a foreign country to live there. Choice B, 'Migrate,' means to move from one place to another. Choice D, 'Emigrant,' is someone who leaves their own country to settle permanently in another.

4. Select the sentence in which 'legal' is used as an adjective.

• A. He is a legal resident of the United States
• B. This is a legal action
• C. That action was legal
• D. He acted in a legal way

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'He is a legal resident of the United States.' In this sentence, 'legal' is used to describe the type of resident he is, making it an adjective. The other choices use 'legal' as part of a noun phrase or an adverbial phrase, not as an adjective. Choice B uses 'legal' to describe the type of action, making it a noun adjunct. Choice C uses 'legal' to describe the legality of the action, making it part of an adjectival phrase. Choice D uses 'legal' to describe the manner in which he acted, making it an adverb.

5. What is a device?

• A. An idea or concept
• B. A tool or piece of equipment
• C. A small part of a larger structure
• D. An accessory for fashion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A device is defined as a tool or piece of equipment designed to serve a specific purpose. It is used to perform a particular function or task. An idea or concept (Choice A) may lead to the creation of a device, but they are not devices themselves. Choice C, referring to a small part of a larger structure, does not encompass the general definition of a device which implies standalone functionality. Choice D, an accessory for fashion, is entirely unrelated to the usual understanding of a device, which focuses on functionality rather than aesthetics.
