Choose the word that best completes the sentence: The...................came to settle in the United States.

  • A. Immigrant
  • B. Migrant
  • C. Immigrate
  • D. Emigrant
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The word that best completes the sentence is 'Immigrant.' An immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country, which aligns with the context of settling in the United States. 'Migrant' refers to a person who moves from one place to another, usually for work or better living conditions, rather than specifically settling in a foreign country. 'Immigrate' is the act of coming into a new country to live, and 'Emigrant' refers to a person who leaves their own country to settle elsewhere, which is not the best fit for the sentence provided.

How is 'Compensatory' best described?

  • A. Corrective
  • B. Sociable
  • C. Beleaguered
  • D. Courteous
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Compensatory means providing something to offset or make up for a deficiency or loss. In this context, compensatory is synonymous with corrective, which means intended to correct or remedy something. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 'Corrective.' The term 'sociable' means friendly and outgoing, 'beleaguered' means under pressure or besieged, and 'courteous' means polite and respectful. These choices do not accurately describe the term compensatory in this context.

Which word is synonymous with EXPEDITE?

  • A. Transfer
  • B. Rush
  • C. Cancel
  • D. Hold
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Rush.' To expedite something means to make it happen faster or speed up a process, which aligns with the meaning of 'Rush.' 'Transfer' (Choice A), 'Cancel' (Choice C), and 'Hold' (Choice D) do not convey the same meaning as expediting a task or process. Therefore, 'Rush' is the best synonym for 'Expedite' in this context.

What is another word for STRICT?

  • A. Stringent
  • B. Daily
  • C. Weekly
  • D. Nominal
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The term 'strict' implies being demanding of rules or orders to be followed precisely. A suitable synonym for 'strict' is 'stringent,' which means precise or exacting. Therefore, 'Stringent' is the correct choice to maintain the intended meaning. 'Daily,' 'Weekly,' and 'Nominal' do not align with the definition of 'strict,' making them incorrect choices.

Which word describes a small child just learning to walk?

Rationale: A toddler is a young child typically around the age of one to three years who is learning to walk. 'Obese' means excessively overweight, 'Geriatric' refers to elderly individuals, and 'Hale' means strong and healthy. Therefore, 'Toddler' best fits the description of a small child just learning to walk.
