Worked practice questions

Choose the word that is closest in meaning to **CORPULENT**.

  1. Lean
  2. Gaunt
  3. Emaciated
  4. Obese
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Obese

Corpulent means having a large, bulky body — i.e. obese. The distractors A, B and C all mean the *opposite* (thin, wasted) so they fail the synonym test even though they're all related to body description.

Choose the word that is closest in meaning to **BRIEF**.

  1. Limited
  2. Small
  3. Little
  4. Short
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Short

Brief = short in duration or length. 'Limited', 'small' and 'little' all describe quantity/size rather than duration — they don't capture the temporal sense that 'brief' carries.

Choose the word that is closest in meaning to **EMBEZZLE**.

  1. Misappropriate
  2. Balance
  3. Remunerate
  4. Clear
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Misappropriate

To embezzle is to fraudulently take funds entrusted to one's care — i.e. to *misappropriate*. 'Remunerate' (to pay for services) and 'clear' (to settle accounts) are tempting because they're financial terms, but they describe legitimate transactions, not theft.
