Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the plural form of the noun 'stimulus'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Stimuli.' When forming the plural of 'stimulus,' the correct form is 'stimuli.' Choice A, 'Stimulus,' is the singular form, not the plural. Choice C, 'Stimulis,' is an incorrect spelling. Choice D, 'Stimula,' is also an incorrect form for the plural of 'stimulus.' Therefore, 'Stimuli' is the only correct plural form.
Question 3 of 5
Identify the euphemism in the following passage: 'Today we gather to remember Thomas the Cat. He was the cutest kitten around. Now that he's gone to the giant catnip patch in the sky, he'll be missed by everyone.'
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'A: Giant catnip patch in the sky.' This phrase is a euphemism for death, as it softens the reality of Thomas the Cat's passing. Choice B, 'The cutest kitten around,' is a compliment and not a euphemism. Choice C, 'He'll be missed by everyone,' is a straightforward statement without a euphemistic element. Choice D, 'Today we gather to remember,' is a typical opening statement for a memorial gathering and is not a euphemism.
Question 4 of 5
The plastic surgery improved the _______ of her face.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Contour.' In the context of the sentence, 'contour' refers to the shape or outline of her face, which is typically altered or enhanced through plastic surgery. 'Bearing' refers to behavior or posture, not the physical appearance of the face. 'Serenity' means calmness and peacefulness, which is not relevant in the context of plastic surgery improving the appearance of the face. 'Cataract' is a medical condition affecting the eye and is completely unrelated to the context of plastic surgery improving facial appearance.
