1The Questions

IN THIS PART . . .Find out just how big your vocabulary is with WordKnowledge questions.Test your understanding of what you read withParagraph Comprehension questions.Review fractions, percentages, scientific notation,algebra, and geometry problems with MathematicsKnowledge questions.Practice converting math word problems into solvableequations with Arithmetic Reasoning questions.

Chapter1Word Knowledge: Putting YourVocabulary to the TestThe Word Knowledge subtest on the ASVAB measures your ability to communicate by gauging your vocabulary level. To do well on this subtest, you don’t have to be a walking dictionary. However, you do need a good grasp on the English language, which means having asolid knowledge of words and their meanings. You also need to be able to determine what wordsmean based on their context within a sentence.When you’re working through these 250 practice questions, you may encounter words you useevery day, words you hear occasionally, and words you’ve never seen before. When you comeacross a word you don’t know, give it your best guess — sometimes your knowledge of other,similar words will kick in and you’ll get it right. (You can use that strategy on test day, too, whenyou have 8 minutes to answer 16 Word Knowledge questions on the computerized version of theASVAB or 11 minutes to answer 35 questions on the paper version.)The Questions You’ll Work OnYou find three types of questions on the Word Knowledge subtest:»» Synonyms: These questions ask you to find the word closest in meaning to the underlined word.»» Sentence context: Sentence context questions give you a sentence and ask you to find the findthe word that can best replace the underlined word without changing the meaning.»» Antonyms: These questions ask you to select the answer that’s most opposite in meaning to theunderlined word.CHAPTER 1 W ord Knowledge: Putting Your Vocabulary to the Test7

What to Watch Out ForEnglish isn’t exactly known for being the easiest language in the world, which means you mayhave to implement some strategies as you prepare for the Word Knowledge subtest. Keep thesetips in mind:»» When you find a word you don’t know, try to figure out its root and see whether that sets off aspark of recognition.»» Pay attention to context clues. Sometimes the sentence will give you clues about a word’smeaning.»» Remember to read the questions carefully. Some ask for the meaning of the word, and some askfor a word’s antonym — the word most opposite in meaning.Synonyms1.(A) agreement.(C) nice.(B) theory.(D) condescending.6.Fortitude most nearly means(D) attempt.(A) strength.Establish most nearly means(B) bravado.(A) set up.(C) inconsistency.(B) foundation.(D) difficulty.7.Plausible most nearly means(D) receive.(A) deceptive.Obtain most nearly means(B) believable.(A) hold.(C) ignorant.(B) work.(D) lagging.(C) get.4.(A) vessel.(B) useless.(C) give.3.Vain most nearly meansAccord most nearly means(C) judgment.2.5.8.Persuade most nearly means(D) top.(A) deter.Brazen most nearly means(B) encourage.(A) dim.(C) lead.(B) obnoxious.(D) convince.(C) timid.(D) bold.9.Dialogue most nearly means(A) leader.(B) text.(C) conversation.(D) soliloquy.8PART 1 The Questions
