  2. mathematical...memorize

  5. limited...correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The metric system needs to be able to grow endlessly as science advances. 'Indefinite' means unlimited or without end - perfect for a system that must keep expanding. 'Invent' matches creating new units when needed. The other options don't fit: confusing (contradicts 'simple'), mathematical (doesn't imply expansion), rigid (opposite of flexible), limited (contradicts the need for growth), record/discard/correct don't match creating new measurements.

A number of American Indian nations have moved to _______ and operate their own private college in response to the perceived inadequacies of mainstream higher education.

  1. establish

  2. educate

  3. restrict

  4. foreclose

  5. examine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires a verb that means to set up or create something. 'Establish' fits perfectly - American Indian nations moved to set up their own colleges. 'Educate' doesn't work grammatically (would need 'educate themselves'), while 'restrict', 'foreclose', and 'examine' don't make sense in context.

In an effort to _______ the sensations of flight during raining sessions,computer technicians electronically __________ images realistic enough to convince pilots,at least momentarily,that they are actually flying.

  1. bunteract..project

  2. raggerate..reproduce

  3. duplicate..erase

  4. mulate..compose

  5. iminate..devise
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

To solve this question, the user needs to understand the meaning of the given words and the context of the sentence.

The sentence is describing how computer technicians are using electronic images to simulate the sensations of flight during raining sessions. The blank space in the sentence requires a verb that describes the action of the computer technicians. The second blank requires a verb that describes the action of creating realistic images.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. bunteract..project: This option is incorrect because the word "bunteract" is not a valid English word. The word "project" makes sense in the context of creating electronic images, but the sentence does not require a verb that means "to interact with."

B. raggerate..reproduce: This option is incorrect because the word "raggerate" is not a valid English word. The word "reproduce" could make sense in the context of creating realistic images, but the sentence does not require a verb that means "to exaggerate."

C. duplicate..erase: This option is incorrect because the word "erase" does not make sense in the context of creating electronic images. The word "duplicate" could make sense in the context of copying an existing image, but the sentence does not require a verb that means "to remove."

D. mulate..compose: This option is correct. The word "simulate" means to imitate or reproduce the conditions or actions of a real-world situation. The word "compose" means to create or produce something. Together, "simulate" and "compose" make sense in the context of creating electronic images that simulate the sensations of flight.

E. iminate..devise: This option is incorrect because the word "iminate" is not a valid English word. The word "devise" could make sense in the context of creating electronic images, but the sentence does not require a verb that means "to eliminate."

Therefore, the answer is: The answer is D. mulate..compose.

Until the nineteenth century,history was largely written by private scholars and literary amateurs and was not seen as an _________,but rather as a branch of iterator.

  1. artifact

  2. entity

  3. offshoot

  4. acomplishment

  5. undertaking
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence contrasts history being seen as an 'entity' versus a 'branch of iterator'. 'Entity' works grammatically as an abstract noun. However, 'iterator' appears to be a typo - likely 'literature' was intended. Despite this, 'entity' remains the best option among the choices.

  1. deprecatory toward

  2. impatient for

  3. querulous about

  4. sated by

  5. impassive to
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes someone eager to succeed. "Impatient for" fits the context of ambition. "Deprecatory" (disapproving), "querulous" (complaining), "sated" (satisfied), and "impassive" (unemotional) contradict the drive to "create a name for herself."

You want to say that you reached the station on time but still missed the train. You say:

  1. Though I reached the station early, but I missed the train.

  2. Though I reached the station early, I missed the train.

  3. I reached the station early and just I missed the train.

  4. I reached the station early only, but I missed the train
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'Though' already establishes contrast, so adding 'but' is redundant. The rule is: use 'Though X, Y' OR 'X, but Y' - never both. Option C is also grammatically incorrect ('just' is misplaced). Option B correctly uses 'Though' without the redundant 'but'.

  1. What do I have to do?

  2. What do I want to do?

  3. What I have to do?

  4. What I want to do?
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer

When asking for instructions about what you need to do, the correct phrasing is 'What do I have to do?' Option C is grammatically incorrect (missing auxiliary verb 'do'). Option B asks about desire, not instructions. Option D is also grammatically wrong.
