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. What is the meaning of Hygiene?

• A. General cleanliness and good health practices
• B. Measures contributing to cleanliness and good health
• C. A measure of dietary health
• D. A type of infection

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Measures contributing to cleanliness and good health.' Hygiene encompasses practices that promote cleanliness and overall good health, such as washing hands, maintaining personal hygiene, and keeping the surroundings clean. Choice A has been revised to 'General cleanliness and good health practices' to better reflect the concept of hygiene. Hygiene goes beyond just cleanliness to include specific measures for maintaining health. Choice C is incorrect as hygiene is not specifically related to dietary health; it is more about cleanliness and health practices. Choice D is incorrect as hygiene is not a type of infection; it is about preventing infections through proper practices.

3. What does Endogenous mean?

• A. Produced outside the body
• B. Produced within the body
• C. Taken from an external source
• D. Linked to environmental factors

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Produced within the body.' Endogenous refers to substances or processes that originate or are produced within an organism or system. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 'Produced outside the body,' is the opposite of endogenous. Choice C, 'Taken from an external source,' describes exogenous rather than endogenous. Choice D, 'Linked to environmental factors,' is not a direct definition of endogenous.

4. What is the meaning of 'carnivore'?

• A. hungry
• B. meat-eating
• C. infected
• D. demented

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'meat-eating.' The term 'carnivore' specifically refers to an animal that primarily consumes meat. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'hungry' means feeling the need to eat, 'infected' refers to being affected by a disease or pathogen, and 'demented' means to be mentally disturbed.

5. What does ONEROUS mean?

• A. Easy
• B. Burdensome
• C. Interesting
• D. Relaxing

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Burdensome.' The term 'onerous' is used to describe something that is burdensome, oppressive, or difficult to deal with. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'easy,' 'interesting,' and 'relaxing' do not convey the same meaning as 'onerous.'
