Question 1 of 5

What does 'Deficit' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'A deficiency or lack of something.' The term 'deficit' refers to a shortage or inadequacy of something. Choice A is incorrect because a surplus means an excess, which is the opposite of a deficit. Choice C is incorrect as an abundance signifies a large quantity or more than enough of something. Choice D is incorrect as a stable amount does not convey the concept of a deficit.

Choice A, 'Harmless,' is incorrect as invasive implies a negative impact. Choice C, 'Mildly irritating,' is incorrect as invasive implies a more serious intrusion. Choice D, 'Non-penetrative,' is incorrect as invasive specifically denotes penetration or entry.

What does Ominous mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Ominous means giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen; threatening; inauspicious. This choice is correct as it accurately reflects the meaning of the term 'Ominous.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest a lack of importance, danger, or threat, which is opposite to the actual meaning of 'Ominous.'

Question 5 of 5
