Question 1 of 5

What does 'Impaired' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The term 'Impaired' means diminished or lacking usual quality. This choice is correct as it accurately reflects the meaning of the word. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 'Increased capability,' is the opposite of impaired. Choice C, 'Hyperactive,' refers to excessive activity rather than a lack of usual quality. Choice D, 'Stronger than usual,' does not capture the meaning of impaired.

Question 2 of 5

What does 'Excess' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'More than what is needed or usual.' Excess refers to an amount that surpasses what is required or typical. Choice A is incorrect because 'less than what is needed or usual' is the opposite of excess. Choice C is incorrect as 'equal to the amount needed' does not imply excess. Choice D is incorrect as 'below average' does not capture the essence of excess.

What does 'Discrete' mean?

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 4 of 5

What does Depth mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Depth refers to the distance or downward measurement from a surface. It is not the thickness of an object (Choice A), as thickness is the measure of how thick or thin an object is, not necessarily related to depth. Additionally, it is not the length of a surface (Choice C) because length typically refers to the longest dimension of an object rather than its depth. Finally, it is not the area between two points (Choice D) because area is a measure of the space within a boundary defined by points, while depth specifically refers to the vertical distance below a surface.

Question 5 of 5

What does 'Inferior' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Below.' Inferior means being in a lower position or rank compared to something else. Choice A ('Above') is incorrect as it represents the opposite of inferior. Choice C ('On the side') and Choice D ('In the middle') are also incorrect as they do not reflect the meaning of inferior, which conveys a sense of being lower in position or rank.
