                        PART II - VOCABULARY

There are two types of vocabulary items in this test.  In the first type, 
you are given a sentence followed by four choices.  You are to choose the 
word (or words) that is closes in meaning to the underlined word (or words) 
in the sentence and that could be used in the sentence without changing its 
meaning greatly.

EXAMPLE A

         The disadvantage of winning is the notoriety one receives.

         (A)   pleasure of
         (B)   thrill of
         (C)   difficulty of
         (D)   inconvenience of

The phrase "inconvenience of" means about the same thing as "disadvantage 
of" in this sentence.  The sentence, "The disadvantage of winning is the 
notoriety one receives," means the same as, " The inconvenience of winning 
is the notoriety one receives."  Therefore, you should mark letter (D) on
your answer sheet.

In the other vocabulary item, you are given a sentence with one word omitted 
and a list of four words.  You are to find the word that best completes the 
sentence.

EXAMPLE  B

         When his mother-in-law visits for longer than one day, John tends 
         to become somewhat cold and __________ towards her.

         (A)   evident
         (B)   impersonal
         (C)   periodical
         (D)   methodical

The word "impersonal" best fits the sentence so that it reads, "When his 
mother-in-law visits for longer than one day, John tends to become somewhat 
cold and impersonal towards her."  Therefore, you have to mark letter (B) on 
your answer sheet.
