Let’s see how many you can get right today—ready? 🚀

1. The term “euphoria” most accurately describes which of the following psychological states?

"Euphoria" refers to an extreme state of happiness, excitement, or well-being that is often excessive or disproportionate to circumstances. It suggests an intensity that goes beyond normal happiness and can sometimes indicate an altered mental state. The word implies both the peak nature of the emotion and its potentially irrational quality. Option (A) describes mere contentment, which lacks euphoria's intensity; (C) describes concentration rather than emotional elevation; (D) refers to mild relief, not intense joy; and (E) describes nostalgia, which is reflective rather than intensely elated. Only option (B) captures both the extreme intensity and potentially excessive nature that characterizes euphoria.

2. The frustrated tennis coach __________ the practice ball against the court fence after watching his student miss the same backhand shot for the tenth consecutive time.

"Thwacked" means to strike something forcefully, typically producing a sharp, loud sound. In this context, the coach's frustration leads to a forceful action against the fence, and "thwacked" perfectly captures both the physical force and the sharp sound that would result from hitting a ball against a fence. "Nestled" (B) means to settle comfortably and gently, which contradicts the coach's frustration; "brandished" (C) means to wave something as a threat or display, but doesn't involve striking; "contemplated" (D) means to think deeply about something, which doesn't match the physical action described; and "retrieved" (E) means to get something back, which doesn't fit the aggressive action implied by the coach's frustration.

3. The botanist carefully examined each __________ of moss growing between the ancient stone blocks, noting how these small clusters thrived in the minimal sunlight.

"Tuft" refers to a bunch, clump, or small cluster of something (like hair, grass, threads, or in this case, moss) that grows or is held together at the base. The context describes small clusters of moss, which perfectly aligns with the meaning of tuft. "Residue" (A) refers to a remainder or leftover substance, not a natural growing cluster; "fragments" (C) suggests broken pieces rather than naturally occurring clusters; "essence" (D) refers to the fundamental nature or most important quality of something, not a physical grouping; and "surplus" (E) means an excess amount, which doesn't describe the clustered growth pattern that characterizes moss formation between stones.

4. The peace negotiators worked tirelessly to prove that armed conflict was not __________, demonstrating that diplomatic solutions remained viable despite mounting tensions.

"Inevitable" means certain to happen; unavoidable or inescapable. The sentence structure shows contrast - the negotiators are working to prove that conflict is NOT certain to happen, which directly opposes the concept of inevitability. They're arguing that war can be avoided through diplomacy, making "inevitable" the perfect antonym in this context. "Imminent" (A) means about to happen soon, but doesn't address whether something can be prevented; "advantageous" (C) means beneficial, which isn't the opposite of certainty; "unprecedented" (D) means never done before, which relates to uniqueness rather than certainty; and "documented" (E) means recorded, which has no relationship to the concept of unavoidability that the negotiators are challenging.

5. The fledgling environmental organization gained significant credibility and resources when it began operating under the __________ of the internationally renowned conservation foundation.

"Aegis" means the protection, sponsorship, backing, or auspices of a person or organization. When something operates "under the aegis" of another entity, it means it receives support, protection, and often legitimacy from that more established organization. In this context, the small environmental group gains credibility and resources by operating under the protective sponsorship of the renowned foundation. "Scrutiny" (A) means careful examination, which would more likely hinder than help the organization; "rivalry" (C) suggests competition rather than support; "autonomy" (D) means independence, which contradicts the concept of operating under another organization's protection; and "jurisdiction" (E) refers to official authority or legal control, which doesn't capture the supportive, protective relationship that aegis implies.
