What does 'Ingest' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Choice A, 'To chew,' is incorrect as chewing is the act of breaking down food with the teeth. Choice C, 'To spit out,' is incorrect as it is the opposite of ingesting, involving expelling something from the mouth. Choice D, 'To vomit,' is also incorrect as vomiting is forcibly expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth, which is the opposite of ingesting.

Question 3 of 5

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 4 of 5

What does 'Obsolete' mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Outdated.' Obsolete refers to something that is outdated or no longer in use. 'Innovative' (choice A) means introducing new ideas or methods; 'Effective' (choice C) means successful in producing a desired result; 'Advanced' (choice D) means far on or ahead in development or progress. Therefore, 'Outdated' is the most appropriate antonym for 'Obsolete.'

Question 5 of 5

What does the word Quarantine mean?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Confinement away from the general population.' Quarantine is the practice of isolating individuals who may have been exposed to a contagious disease but are not yet ill. This isolation helps prevent the potential spread of the disease. Choice A, 'Isolation,' is partially correct but does not capture the specific aspect of separation from the general population. Choice C, 'Treatment,' is incorrect as quarantine does not involve providing medical care but rather focusing on preventing transmission. Choice D, 'Exposure,' is also incorrect as quarantine is about separating potentially exposed individuals, not intentionally exposing them.
