Question 2 of 5
Janine was so nervous that she was surprisingly graceless and awkward on stage. What is the meaning of the word 'graceless' as used in the sentence below?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word 'graceless' in this context means lacking elegance or poise. Janine's nervousness caused her to act awkwardly and without the elegance one would typically expect on stage. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Against fear,' 'Without religion,' and 'Full of caution' do not accurately capture the meaning of 'graceless' in the given sentence.
Question 3 of 5
According to the affixes, which of the following words refers to the love of books?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Bibliophile.' The term 'biblio-' is an affix that refers to books, and '-phile' denotes love or attraction. Therefore, 'bibliophile' specifically means a person who loves or collects books. Choice A, 'Logophile,' while containing the '-phile' suffix denoting love, relates to words instead of books. Choices C and D, 'Discophile' and 'Audiophile,' are incorrect as they respectively pertain to music records and sound systems, not books.
Question 4 of 5
The sheer number of people in the audience overwhelmed the actress as she peeked through the curtain before scene one. Which of the following correctly describes an error in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In this context, 'peaked' should be 'peeked,' meaning to take a quick look. The other choices are incorrect: A is wrong because 'sheer' is the correct term referring to the absolute or complete number of people; C is incorrect as 'through' is the right term indicating looking by going across something; D is inaccurate as 'scene' is the correct term for a part of a play or film.
Question 5 of 5
It was not a compact city but was instead divided into separate districts. What is the meaning of the homograph 'compact' in the sentence above?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this context, the term 'compact' refers to things being 'closely packed together.' The city was not compact in the sense of being closely packed together, but rather divided into separate districts. Choice A, 'A small case for holding makeup,' is not relevant to the context of the sentence. Choice B, 'To compress,' does not fit the sentence's context as it refers to the action of pressing things together. Choice D, 'Very tidy,' is also unrelated to the meaning of 'compact' in the sentence.
