1. The words "inadequate," "disembark," "uneducated" and "illegitimate" have prefixes that are:
A. POSITIVE
B. COMMON
C. NEGATIVE
D. NEUTRAL
The answer for this item is letter C -- Negative.
Yes, it is tempting to answer letter B -- common -- because the words are, indeed, common. (They are all negative.) However, to answer that general idea only disregards the specific fact that they are negative.
TEST TAKING SKILLS: Always prefer specific descriptions over general descriptions, especially when the specific description is logically under the general description.
TEST TAKING SKILLS: If there are two opposite choices, one of them is the correct answer.
2. Which does not belong?
A. ASSUMPTION
B. SUMMARY
C. SYNTHESIS
D. GENERALIZATION
The answer for this item is letter A -- Assumption.
Generalization, summary and synthesis are all methods of producing or creating a composition. Assupmtion is just a guess or a hypothesis.
3. Which of the following does not belong?
A. FAHRENHEIT
B. CENTIGRADE
C. CELSIUS
D. METER
The answer for this is, obviously, letter D -- Meter.
Choices A, B and C are temperature-related terms. Meter, on the other hand, is a distance-related term.
4. "Blessed are __ poor."
A. YOU
B. THEY
C. THE
D. THOSE
The answer is letter C -- The.
The article the, when attached to a positive-degree adjective, makes a collective noun. The phrase "the poor" means "all those who are poor at the time being." The other choices are completely irrelevant.
5. What do you mean when you say "Please try to put your finger in the pie."
A. PLEASE TRY TO TASTE THE PIE BY DIPPING YOUR FINGER.
B. PLEASE TRY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GROUP.
C. PLEASE TRY TO JOIN THE GROUP.
D. PLEASE TRY TO SUPPORT THE GROUP.
The answer for this is to participate -- letter B.
The closest distractor is letter D -- to support. However, supporting something does not directly and actually mean participating in it.
