  • 2. 

    Which of these things might be true of someone who is "incorrigible"?

    • He likes canoes

    • He is unlikely to take suggestions

    • He changes his mind easily

    • He moves quickly

    Correct Answer
    A. He is unlikely to take suggestions
    Explanation
    Someone who is "incorrigible" is unlikely to take suggestions. This means that they are resistant to advice or correction and are unlikely to change their behavior or beliefs based on the suggestions of others. The other options, such as liking canoes, changing their mind easily, or moving quickly, do not necessarily relate to the definition of "incorrigible".

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What word is the best choice for a SYNONYM (word with the same meaning) of the following word: destroy

    • Latent

    • Annihilate

    • Facilitate

    • Exodus

    Correct Answer
    A. Annihilate
    Explanation
    The word "annihilate" is the best choice for a synonym of "destroy" because it means to completely destroy or obliterate something. It implies a total and irreversible destruction, similar to the meaning of "destroy". The other options, "latent", "facilitate", and "exodus", do not have the same meaning as "destroy".

    • Latent

    • Militant

    • Catalyst

    • Accomplice

    Correct Answer
    A. Catalyst
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "catalyst." A catalyst is something that speeds up or triggers a reaction or process. In this context, the nuclear test acted as a catalyst for the arms race, meaning it triggered or accelerated the arms race.

    • Brazen

    • Incorrigible

    • Militant

    • Exodus

    Correct Answer
    A. Exodus
    Explanation
    The word "exodus" means a mass departure or exit of people. In this context, the sudden exodus refers to a large number of people leaving the concert abruptly. This caused the chairs to be left in disarray or a tumble at the end of the event.

    Rate this question:

    • Militant

    • Brazen

    • Facilitate

    • Latent

    Correct Answer
    A. Latent
    Explanation
    As Martha grew older, she started to believe that she had a latent talent for archery. This means that she believed she had an undeveloped or hidden talent for archery, even though she had never been involved with weapons in her youth.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Choose the answer that best completes the analogy: ______ : aide :: enemy : foe

    • Accomplice

    • Exodus

    • Militant

    • Alien

    Correct Answer
    A. Accomplice
    Explanation
    The analogy in this question is between two pairs of words: "______ : aide" and "enemy : foe". The relationship between "enemy" and "foe" is that they are synonyms, meaning they have similar meanings. Therefore, to complete the analogy, we need to find a word that is synonymous with "aide". The word "accomplice" fits this criterion as it means a person who helps or assists someone in a wrongful act, just like an aide does.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Fill in the blank with the correct word: The bandit staged a ___________ raid on the military's stores.

    • Annihilate

    • Catalyst

    • Brazen

    • Exodus

    Correct Answer
    A. Brazen
    Explanation
    The word "brazen" is the correct answer because it means bold, shameless, or audacious. In the given sentence, it suggests that the bandit carried out a daring and audacious raid on the military's stores, showing no fear or concern for the consequences.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Choose the vocabulary word that best completes the analogy: _____ : peaceful :: hurricane : calm

    • Militant

    • Latent

    • Catalyst

    • Exodus

    Correct Answer
    A. Militant
    Explanation
    The word "militant" best completes the analogy because it is the opposite of "peaceful" just like "hurricane" is the opposite of "calm". A militant person is aggressive, combative, and involved in warfare or fighting, which is the opposite of being peaceful. Similarly, a hurricane is a violent and destructive storm, which is the opposite of being calm. Therefore, "militant" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Choose the word that is the best choice for an ANTONYM (word with the opposite meaning) of: arbitrary

    • Random

    • Predictable

    • Green

    • Generous

    Correct Answer
    A. Predictable
    Explanation
    The word "arbitrary" means based on personal whim or preference, lacking a clear reason or pattern. The antonym of arbitrary is "predictable," which means able to be foreseen or expected.
