Your answers are highlighted below.

Question 1

The _____ rules about the form and content of term papers will apply to all written homework as well.

A	attentive
B	secure
C	existing
D	coarse
E	responsible

Question 1 Explanation:

Existing means 'already in place or in use now'. The existing rules are the ones already used for term papers, and they will now also cover written homework. Responsible and secure describe people or safety, not rules that are already in force.

Question 2

My ankle is _____ from yesterday's injury.

A	sore
B	blank
C	thorny
D	stale
E	grieving

Question 2 Explanation:

Sore means painful, usually because of an injury or too much use: My ankle is sore. Stale is used for old bread or air, and grieving means feeling deep sadness after a death, so neither fits an injured ankle.

Question 3

The patient was quite _____ when I saw him in the emergency room; he knew his name, the date and where he was.

A	choral
B	youthful
C	lucid
D	beautiful
E	repulsive

Question 3 Explanation:

Lucid means thinking and speaking clearly, fully aware of what is happening. It is often used for patients who are confused at other times. The clue is that he knew his name, the date and where he was. Not youthful: that describes his age and appearance, not his state of mind.

Question 4

The _____ characteristic of a centrally planned economy is, of course, the existence of a central planning authority.

A	mutual
B	double
C	immense
D	dominant
E	mature

Question 4 Explanation:

The dominant characteristic is the most important or most noticeable feature, the one that defines the thing. A central planning authority is the main feature of a planned economy. Immense means very large in size, and mutual means shared by two sides, so neither fits characteristic here.

Question 5

One must remember, every now and then, the _____ remark once made by Leon Trotsky on the realities of war: "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you".

A	dizzy
B	witty
C	giddy
D	drowsy
E	faint

Question 5 Explanation:

A witty remark is clever and amusing and uses words in a smart way. The quotation plays on interested in war / war is interested in you. Dizzy, giddy, drowsy and faint all describe how a person feels physically (light-headed or sleepy), so none of them can describe a remark.

Question 6

Your _____ servant I am, Madam. I just receive and follow my orders.

A	generous
B	costly
C	urban
D	obedient
E	insane

Question 6 Explanation:

Obedient means doing what you are told. The clue is I just receive and follow my orders. Your obedient servant is also an old, formal fixed phrase that was used to end letters.

Question 7

Yedikule Zindanı was a (an) _____ prison in Ottoman times.

A	humorous
B	previous
C	infamous
D	blushing
E	vulnerable

Question 7 Explanation:

Infamous means famous for something bad. Yedikule Prison in Istanbul was known for harsh imprisonment and executions. Don't confuse it with famous: infamous does not mean 'not famous'. Previous means 'earlier', which makes no sense here.

Question 8

There is a huge difference between strong language and _____ language. _____ language for the sake of _____ language is just _____.

A	breezy / breezy / breezy / breezy
B	shaky / shaky / shaky / shaky
C	filthy / filthy / filthy / filthy
D	weary / weary / weary / weary
E	drowsy / drowsy / drowsy / drowsy

Question 8 Explanation:

Filthy language is very rude, obscene language. The sentence contrasts it with strong language, which is forceful but not necessarily dirty. Using obscene words just for the sake of it is itself filthy. Breezy means relaxed and cheerful, and weary means tired, so neither describes language in this way.

Question 9

By the time she arrived at the emergency room of a nearby hospital, the right side of her face had got swollen and her vision was _____.

A	blurred
B	lethal
C	mixed
D	luring
E	bruised

Question 9 Explanation:

Blurred vision means you cannot see clearly; shapes look unclear. It is a common collocation after a face injury. Not bruised: skin can be bruised, but vision cannot.

Question 10

What justice can we speak of when we see all those _____ men living happy long lives in their evildoing?

A	robust
B	wicked
C	abrupt
D	sober
E	harsh

Question 10 Explanation:

Wicked means morally very bad or evil. The clue is evildoing. Robust means strong and healthy, harsh means cruel or severe in treatment, and sober means not drunk or serious, so none of them matches 'evil men'.
