    • Turbulent

    • Precise

    • Predominant

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The word "turbulent" is the correct answer because it accurately describes the sea that was created by the storm. A storm typically causes strong winds, large waves, and rough conditions, resulting in a turbulent sea.

    Sometimes, people cannot reside in the same ______________ because they do not get along.

    • Predominant

    • Domination

    • Domicile

    Correct Answer
    A. Domicile
    Explanation
    The word "domicile" refers to a place where someone lives or resides. In this context, the sentence suggests that people cannot live in the same place because they do not get along. This implies that their inability to coexist peacefully leads to the need for separate domiciles. Therefore, "domicile" is the correct answer as it best fits the given context and conveys the intended meaning.

    • Misanthropic

    • Domesticated

    • Perturbed

    Correct Answer
    A. Perturbed
    Explanation
    The word "perturbed" is the correct answer because it means to cause someone to be worried, upset, or disturbed. In this context, a messy room would likely cause the mother to feel perturbed, as it would be disorganized and untidy, potentially causing her stress or annoyance.

    • Predominant

    • Domestic

    • Domination

    Correct Answer
    A. Domestic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "domestic" because the sentence suggests that while many horses are domesticated, there are still wild herds roaming the Midwest. This implies that domesticated horses are the majority, while wild herds are the exception.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of these is not a synonym of predominant?

    • Influential

    • Superior

    • Dominant

    • Weakness

    Correct Answer
    A. Weakness
    Explanation
    The word "predominant" means having control, influence, or power over others. Out of the given options, "weakness" does not share the same meaning as "predominant." While the other options - influential, superior, and dominant - all imply a sense of control or power, weakness suggests the opposite, indicating a lack of strength or control. Therefore, "weakness" is not a synonym of "predominant."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Choose the correct word to fill in the blank.The classroom is the teacher's ________________.

    • Domestic

    • Domain

    • Domicile

    Correct Answer
    A. Domain
    Explanation
    The word "domain" is the correct answer because it refers to an area or territory that belongs to someone, in this case, the teacher. It suggests that the classroom is the teacher's designated space or sphere of influence where they have authority and control. The words "domestic" and "domicile" are not suitable in this context as they refer to one's home or place of residence, which does not accurately describe the relationship between a teacher and a classroom.

    Rate this question:

  • 8.

    • Turbulent

    • Anthropogenic

    • Decisive

    Correct Answer
    A. Anthropogenic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "anthropogenic" because it means caused or produced by humans. In the given sentence, "Clearing the forests proved to be an anthropogenic disaster" implies that the disaster was caused by human activities such as deforestation. This word accurately describes the situation where human actions had a negative impact on the environment.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Animals tend to mark their territory, or _______________.

    • Domicile

    • Domestic

    • Domain

    Correct Answer
    A. Domain
    Explanation
    Animals tend to mark their territory, or domain. This means that they establish and defend a specific area that they consider to be their own. By marking their domain, animals communicate to others that they have claimed that particular space and that it is off-limits. This behavior helps them establish their dominance and protect their resources, such as food, shelter, and potential mates.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of these is not a synonym of domain?

    • Dominion

    • District

    • Jurisdiction

    • Realm

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. None of these
