1. Which word is used incorrectly? 'I did the work before he asked me to.'

• A. did
• B. work
• C. asked
• D. before

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The word 'did' is correctly used in the sentence to form the past tense of the verb 'do.' In this context, 'did' is the appropriate term. The other words in the sentence, 'work,' 'asked,' and 'before,' are all used correctly and do not represent an incorrect word choice. Therefore, 'did' is the only word that is not used incorrectly in the given sentence.

2. The plumber used a tube to navigate through the curved pipe. What type of tube would be most suitable for this task?

• A. Solid
• B. Rigid
• C. Flexible
• D. Perforated

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A flexible tube would be appropriate for navigating through a curved pipe as it can bend and maneuver easily within the pipe's shape. This flexibility allows the plumber to access and address any blockages or issues efficiently. Solid and rigid tubes would be challenging to use in a curved pipe due to their lack of flexibility, making navigation difficult. Perforated tubes, with holes, are not typically used for this purpose and are more suited for specific applications like drainage systems.

3. When you add sugar to it, your cup of coffee becomes not only sweet but also _____.

• A. fattening
• B. healthy
• C. rich
• D. flavorful

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When sugar is added to coffee, it not only becomes sweet but also 'fattening' due to the extra calories added. The term 'fattening' specifically refers to the potential weight gain associated with consuming sugary drinks. Choices B, C, and D do not accurately describe the impact of adding sugar to coffee. 'Healthy' is incorrect because adding sugar typically does not make a beverage healthier. 'Rich' and 'flavorful' may suggest taste qualities but do not address the caloric impact of sugar.

4. When a symptom is exacerbated, it is ___________.

• A. not dangerous
• B. disfiguring
• C. painful
• D. made worse

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When a symptom is exacerbated, it means that it is made worse or intensified beyond its usual level of severity. This can lead to increased discomfort, pain, or other negative effects associated with that particular symptom. Choice A is incorrect because exacerbation does not imply that the symptom is not dangerous. Choice B is incorrect as exacerbation does not necessarily mean disfiguring. Choice C is incorrect as exacerbation does not always specifically refer to pain, but to any worsening of a symptom.

5. What is the meaning of Gender?

• 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.
