    The new department at the college COMPRISES students from a variety of fields.

    • Advises

    • Turns down

    • Consists of

    • Depends on

    Correct Answer
    A. Consists of
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "consists of" because it accurately describes the situation where the new department is made up of students from different fields. "Comprises" means the same thing as "consists of," so it is the appropriate choice in this context. "Advises," "turns down," and "depends on" do not make sense in relation to the given sentence.

    • Opposed

    • Demanded

    • Agreed

    • Defended

    Correct Answer
    A. Agreed
    Explanation
    The phrase "We never consented to eliminating smoking from the building entirely" implies that the speaker did not give permission or agree to the idea of completely banning smoking in the building. Therefore, the best word to describe the speaker's stance is "agreed."

    The decision was easy to arrive at but difficult to IMPLEMENT.

    • Agree on

    • Disagree with

    • Carry out

    • Defend

    Correct Answer
    A. Carry out
    Explanation
    The phrase "difficult to implement" implies that there was a decision or plan in place, but executing or putting it into action posed challenges. "Carry out" is the most suitable option as it means to perform or accomplish a task or plan. The other options do not convey the idea of putting a decision into action.

    • Understandable

    • Unavoidable

    • Hopeful

    Correct Answer
    A. Unavoidable
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "unavoidable" because the sentence states that his victory in the election was inevitable, meaning it was certain or bound to happen. This is supported by the reason given, which is that he made such a good impression on television. Therefore, his victory was unavoidable and could not be prevented.

    • SUPPORTED, DEFENDED

    Correct Answer
    A. CIRCULATED, SPREAD
    Explanation
    The word "disseminated" means to spread or circulate information among people. Therefore, the correct answer choices are "circulated" and "spread" as they have similar meanings to "disseminated". The other answer choices, "inquired, asked", "rejected, condemned", and "supported, defended" do not have the same meaning and are not appropriate synonyms for "disseminated".

    • Finally

    Correct Answer
    A. Not defintely
    Explanation
    The word "tentatively" suggests that the speaker agreed to attend the meeting with some uncertainty or hesitation. The phrase "not definitely" aligns with this meaning, indicating that the agreement was not made with complete certainty or decisiveness. The other options, "enthusiastically," "unequivocally," and "finally," do not convey the same sense of uncertainty and hesitation.
