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. Finishing isn't as important as answering correctly.

• A. Quick
• B. As quick
• C. So quickist
• D. Quickly

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this sentence, 'quickly' is the correct adverb form that should be used to modify the verb 'answering.' 'Quickly' is the adverb form needed here to describe how the action is performed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate adverb form required in the sentence.

3. To alleviate a symptom is to ___________.

• A. relieve it
• B. diagnose it
• C. suffer from it
• D. manage it

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'relieve it.' To alleviate a symptom means to reduce or improve it, thus providing relief or easing of the discomfort or issue being experienced. Choice B, 'diagnose it,' is incorrect as diagnosing a symptom involves identifying or determining its cause, not relieving it. Choice C, 'suffer from it,' is incorrect as it refers to experiencing the symptom, not alleviating it. Choice D, 'manage it,' is incorrect as managing a symptom involves controlling or handling it, not necessarily reducing or relieving it.

4. An inability to be lucid in the early morning means the person is unable to behave in which way?

• A. Coherent
• B. Speculative
• C. Furtive
• D. Animated

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An inability to be lucid in the early morning means the person is unable to behave in a coherent way. Lucidity refers to clarity of thought and coherence in one's behavior or speech. If someone is not lucid, they may be confused, disoriented, or unable to express themselves clearly. Therefore, the correct choice is A. Coherent. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because being unable to be lucid does not necessarily mean the person is behaving in a speculative, furtive, or animated way.

5. What is another word for antidote?

• A. Purity
• B. Habitat
• C. Remedy
• D. Venom

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Question: What is another word for antidote? Rationale: An antidote is a substance that can counteract the effects of poison or disease. The term 'remedy' is often used synonymously with antidote to indicate a solution or cure for a particular problem or ailment. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the concept of antidote. 'Purity' refers to cleanliness or being free from contaminants, 'Habitat' is the natural environment where an organism lives, and 'Venom' is a poisonous substance typically injected by animals like snakes or insects.
