301. Synonym of "iota" is _________?

  • A. something owed
  • B. ancient coin
  • C. small amount
  • D. punctuation mark

Explanation: An iota is an extremely small amount or the tiniest detail, as in “not an iota of evidence.” The word can also refer to a very small Greek letter, but that meaning is not offered here.

Correct answer: small amount

302. Synonym of "redoubt" is _________?

  • A. fortification
  • B. rearguard
  • C. trench
  • D. camp

Explanation: A redoubt is a fortified defensive position, so fortification is the best synonym. A trench may be part of a defensive system, but it is not the general meaning of redoubt.

Correct answer: fortification

303. Synonym of "indenture" is _________?

  • A. contract
  • B. protection
  • C. teeth
  • D. space

Explanation: Indenture can mean a formal contract, especially one binding a person to service for a period. “Teeth” relates to the historical notched form of such a document but is not its synonym.

Correct answer: contract

304. Synonym of "inexplicable" is _________?

  • A. frustrating
  • B. questionable
  • C. unexplainable
  • D. entangled

Explanation: Inexplicable means impossible to explain or understand, making unexplainable the direct synonym. Questionable means doubtful, not necessarily impossible to explain.

Correct answer: unexplainable

305. Synonym of "felicitous" is _________?

  • A. misleading
  • B. graceless
  • C. appropriate
  • D. egotistical

Explanation: Felicitous means well chosen, suitable, or apt, so appropriate is the closest option. It can also mean fortunate in some contexts, but none of the alternatives carries that sense.

Correct answer: appropriate

306. Synonym of "rendition" is _________?

  • A. interpretation
  • B. imitation
  • C. report
  • D. reparation

Explanation: Rendition commonly means a performance, translation, or interpretation of something. Interpretation is therefore closer than imitation, which means copying rather than presenting or explaining.

Correct answer: interpretation

307. Synonym of "plausible" is _________?

  • A. apparently believable
  • B. workable
  • C. true
  • D. somewhat evasive

Explanation: Plausible describes something that appears believable or reasonable, whether or not it is actually true. Thus “apparently believable” is more precise than “true.”

Correct answer: apparently believable

308. Synonym of "incontrovertible" is _________?

  • A. long established
  • B. beyond dispute
  • C. lacking control
  • D. non-negotiable

Explanation: Incontrovertible means impossible to deny or dispute because the evidence is conclusive. “Non-negotiable” means not open to discussion, which is a different idea.

Correct answer: beyond dispute

309. Synonym of "congruent" is _________?

  • A. energetic
  • B. crude
  • C. contrary
  • D. coinciding exactly

Explanation: Congruent means corresponding exactly or agreeing in form, position, or content. In geometry, congruent figures have the same shape and size, matching the idea of coinciding exactly.

  • A. attentiveness
  • B. courage
  • C. wisdom
