Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: ingest. Ingest means to take into the body, usually by swallowing. "Congest" means to block or fill up, not related to intake. "Collect" means to gather or accumulate, not specifically related to taking into the body. "Suppress" means to restrain or prevent, not related to intake. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it directly relates to the action of taking something into the body.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Threw. In this sentence, the verb needs to be in the past tense to match the action of tossing caps in the air. 'Threw' is the past tense form of 'throw,' which correctly conveys the action that has already taken place. Rationale: - A: Thorough means complete or detailed, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence. - B: Through is a preposition or adverb indicating movement from one side to the other, not a verb. - D: Throwing is the present participle form of 'throw,' which doesn't match the past tense context of the sentence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: meat-eating. A carnivore is an animal that primarily feeds on meat. This is the correct answer as it directly relates to the definition of carnivore. Choice A (hungry) is incorrect as it does not define what a carnivore is, but rather describes a state of appetite. Choice C (infected) and D (demented) are completely unrelated to the term 'carnivore' and do not make sense in the context of the question.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Were. In this sentence, the verb should be in the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical situation. "Were" is the correct subjunctive form for the verb "to be" in the past tense when used in this context. It indicates an unreal or hypothetical situation. The other choices, B: Is, C: Be, and D: Was, are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the subjunctive mood required for hypothetical or unreal situations. "Is" is present tense, "Be" is an infinitive form, and "Was" is past tense but not the correct subjunctive form in this context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct reflexive pronoun in this sentence is 'Oneself'. In this case, 'Oneself' is used to refer back to 'a person', making the sentence grammatically correct. 'Themselves' is incorrect because it is plural, 'Itself' does not match the singular subject, and 'Yourself' is incorrect as it refers to the second person. Therefore, 'Oneself' is the most suitable reflexive pronoun in this context.
