Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: What does DISRESPECT mean?

Question 1 options
Disrespect means a lack of respect or rude behavior toward someone. The prefix 'dis-' reverses the meaning of 'respect', which means to admire or honor someone.
Q2 15

Question 2: The manager ___ the new policy because it was unfair to the employees.

Question 2 options
Disapproved fits because it means to have a negative opinion of something, which makes sense when the policy is described as unfair. Discovered, displayed, and discussed do not carry this negative judgment meaning.
Q3 15

Question 3: The word 'dishonest' means the same as 'very honest'.

Question 3 options
False because the prefix 'dis-' reverses the meaning of 'honest'. Dishonest means not honest or lacking honesty, which is the opposite of being honest.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which word is closest in meaning to DISTRUST?

Question 4 options
Suspicion is closest in meaning to distrust, as both describe a lack of confidence or doubt about someone's honesty or reliability. Admiration, confidence, and loyalty are all positive feelings that are opposite in meaning.
Q5 15

Question 5: Match each 'dis-' word to its correct definition.

Question 5 options
disallow
disagree
disconnect
disappear
to have a different opinion from someone
to become impossible to see or find
to refuse to permit something
to break the link between two things

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Each 'dis-' word reverses or negates the base word: disallow means to refuse permission, disagree means to have a different opinion, disconnect means to break a link, and disappear means to become impossible to see.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which word naturally goes with the phrase 'feel ___' when you are unhappy with a result?

Question 6 options
Disappointed collocates naturally with 'feel' to express unhappiness about an outcome that did not meet expectations. You would not say 'feel disallow', 'feel dishonest', or 'feel displace' in standard English.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: 'Did you agree with the teacher's decision?' B: 'No, I completely ___ with her. I thought it was unfair.'

Question 7 options
Disagreed is correct because the speaker is expressing a difference of opinion with the teacher. Disliked refers to a feeling rather than a difference of opinion, while disobeyed and disconnected do not fit this conversational context.
Q8 15

Question 8: The new rules ___ many workers who had been doing the same job for years.

Question 8 options
Displaced is correct here because it means to remove someone from their position or place, fitting the context of workers losing their roles. Displeased means to make unhappy, discouraged means to reduce confidence, and disguised means to hide identity — none match the meaning of removing someone from a role.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the chunks in the correct order to form a natural sentence:

Question 9 options
  • the quality of the service
  • she received.
  • She was deeply
  • dissatisfied with

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'She was deeply dissatisfied with the quality of the service she received.' The subject comes first, followed by the verb phrase, the adjective complement, and finally the prepositional phrase describing what caused the feeling.
Q10 15

Question 10: After years of not speaking, the two friends finally decided to ___ their differences and become friends again.

Question 10 options
Disregard fits most naturally here because it means to put aside or ignore something, which collocates with 'differences' in this context of reconciliation. Displace, disconnect, and disallow do not collocate naturally with 'differences' in this way.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which of the following words would most likely appear in a formal complaint letter about a service?

Question 11 options
Dissatisfied is the most formal and appropriate choice for a written complaint, commonly used in professional or formal contexts such as 'I am deeply dissatisfied with your service.' Unhappy, upset, and annoyed are more informal and conversational.
Q12 15

Question 12: Choose the correct word form: 'His ___ during the meeting surprised everyone in the room.'

Question 12 options
Disrespect is the correct noun form needed after the possessive 'His' to act as the subject of the sentence. Disrespectful is an adjective, disrespectfully is an adverb, and disrespecting is a verb form — none can function as the subject noun here.
Q13 15

Question 13: The word 'disorganized' is typically used to describe a place or thing, rather than a person.

Question 13 options
False because 'disorganized' is typically used to describe people and their behavior, while 'unorganized' is more commonly used to describe a place or thing.
Q14 15

Question 14: The doctor advised him to ___ smoking immediately for the sake of his health.

Question 14 options
Discontinue is the most precise word here, meaning to stop doing something permanently, which fits both the formal medical context and the idea of giving up a habit entirely. Stop is too general, refuse means to decline to do something, and deny means to say something is not true.
Q15 15

Question 15: She felt a sense of ___ when she realized none of her old friends recognized her at the reunion.

Question 15 options
In this sentence, disorientation means a feeling of confusion and loss of direction or identity. It does not mean disagreement, disapproval, or discovery — all of which carry entirely different meanings that do not fit the emotional context described.
